Back to the basics: The lure of The Race of Gentlemen

Richie Whalen (car 54B) lines up against a competitor.

Before there were sanctioning bodies, trophies or even cash prizes, the very first automobile races were likely between drivers wanting simply to prove their car was faster than another. Today, such a quaint ideal is all but absent from the high-dollar, sponsor-driven world of motorsports, but there are still exceptions to the rule. One of these is The Race of Gentlemen (TROG), now in its third year.

Okay, I've been watching this for a couple of years and getting enthused!

I have in mind Aspendale beach as a venue for this... open to other locations within and 1-1.5 hours of Melbourne...
Let me know. 8)
