JDC Inter-Marque Championship Race, Oulton Park 1987

I took this photograph at Foulstons chicane during the Gordon Russell Furniture Inter-Marque Championship Race at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's meeting at Oulton Park in April 1987.

Leading is the Jaguar E Type of Malcom Hamilton followed by the Porsche Carrera RSR of Gideon Hudson and the Aston Martin V8 of Mike Cousins. Bringing up the rear is Richard Chilton in his CAS Motor Sport Porsche 911 Carrera.

Porsche 911 Carrera

This car took part in the Gordon Russell Furniture Inter-Marque Championship Race at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's Cheshire Cats Trophy Meeting at Oulton Park in April 1987.

It's the Porsche 911 Carrera entered for the race by C.A.S. Motor Sport and was driven in the race by Richard Chilton. The only information in the programme of the event is that it had a 3 litre engine. The car competed in another race at this meeting, this time as number 25, and I showed photographs of the car in that guise on 2 February 2015.

1972 Porsche 911 Carrera

This car is rounding Lodge Corner in the Inter-Marque Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners' Club's meeting at Oulton Park in September 1986.

It's the 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera of Merv Sherlock, and according to the programme of the event it has a 3000cc engine. The Porsche 911 of 1972 was built with a flat-6 air-cooled engine of 2.4 litres and the 3 litre engine wasn't introduced till 1975, so it looks as if this car had a larger engine fitted at some stage. It's still registered with the DVLA who show the engine capacity as 3000cc.

Porsche 911 Carrera

This is one of the cars that took part in the two of the races at the Cheshire Cats' Trophy Meeting organised by the Jaguar Drivers' Club at Oulton Park in April 1987.

It's a 3 litre Porsche 911 Carrera entered by C.A.S Motor Sport which as number 27 was driven in the 15 lap Gordon Russell Furniture Inter-Marque Championship Race by Richard Chilton. The notes in the programme of the event for the 36 lap Cheshire Cats' Trophy Race say; 'A 100 mile race for Roadgoing Production Sportscars with a current Road Fund Licence. Co-Drivers are allowed and a pit stop is mandatory between laps five and thirty-two. Refuelling is not allowed.' In that race the Porsche was number 25 and the driving was shared by Richard Chilton and Michael Phillips.

Here's the car in that second race rounding Lodge Corner.
