This is an exceptional time for historic motor racing. You only have to look at the proliferation of events, the introduction of new series in some categories, and the influx of new owners, competitors and spectators.
Far from being set in stone, the world of ‘vintage racing’ is actually full of life. I’ve seen this with my own eyes, as I’ve been involved with V de V Sports since 2001, and now that I’m at the wheel. The transition is well underway. My father, with his experience and insights, will always be a valuable advisor, a close friend, and also a competitor! Naturally, we will see him at the races with his TVR Griffith 200. Our family spirit lives on, and together with him, I want to ensure the unique approach that V de V Sports has cultivated since 1992.
All this enthusiasm from everyone – gentleman drivers, teams and fans – creates a number of missions. I can see three challenges taking shape.
First, to keep promoting endurance. Endurance is more than just a sport; it’s a form of racing that embodies human values. Endurance is about friendship, team spirit, and a sense of adventure for both men and women. When it’s too easy to just keep ‘zapping’ from one thing to the next, or when everything is done in a rush, the value of hard work really stands out.
The second challenge logically follows from this: to continue to promote the spirit of competition. Our events have always focused on racing, battling it out, pushing boundaries and striving for excellence. Not just parading around in fancy cars.
Finally, all of this brings me to the third challenge: highlighting what makes V de V Sports unique. Today, we are the only organiser in the world to offer long-distance races for historic vehicles, with Les 2 Tours d’Horloge being the only 24-hour race.
