Stockport based Ric Wood Motorsport has announced its driver line up for Silverstone Classic on 1st August in the Group A Calsonic Nissan Skyline.
Freddie Hunt, son of F1 world champion, James Hunt, will team up with car owner, Ric Wood, for this internationally supported race.
Freddie tested in the car at Oulton Park a few weeks ago and loved the power and handling; he commented:
The car is awesome, and I’m really looking forward to the race, I’ve never driven a Group A car before. I’ve got my sights set on racing an LMP car at the Le Mans 24 hour, so a fast car on a big grid with driver change is great experience. Massive thanks to Ric for giving me the opportunity to race Godzilla”
The Calsonic Skyline has competed over the past few years and already collected a number of podium finishes and outright wins. It’s a fire spitting spectacle that’s always a crowd pleaser. Ric Wood, owner of the Stockport motorsport store, added:
“It’s great to have Freddie on board for such an iconic race meeting in Godzilla. Naturally we’ll be going for the best result possible on the day, but it will be fantastic to see the name Hunt racing on the F1 track at Silverstone, especially in one of my cars!”
