Photographs by Octane Photographic Ltd.

JON and Alan Minshaw, who are both from the Merseyside area, took over what was a hard fought, to dominant class, winning at Sunday, 3 July 2011's, E-type Challenge (the 2nd of 2 races) at a sunny Brands Hatch. Jon Minshaw lead from the line in his white number 33 machine and despite some serious pressure never relinquished the position in the Class A race, his son Alan Minshaw fought through the pack to take a class B win in the number 34 red racer. In Sunday's 25 minute race Jon didn't quite manage to lap Minshaw jnr, only passing him through Druids on the slowing down lap.

The E-type challenge was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the E-Type Jaguar this year; the E-type is one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, and described by Enzo Ferrari himself as the most beautiful! The entries are limited to E-types of 3.8litres and smaller that were built before 1966 and hold FIA competition eligibility papers. Class 1 is the more extremely modified but must still comply to the original Homologation paper number 100, whilst class B are more standard have to only comply to paper number 34.
