Chris Rea 999

IPA Trophy Winner

Sincere thanks are due to IPA Leicestershire organisers, the management and staff of Mallory Park (Motorsport) Ltd and of course, all those IPA colleagues who turned out in force to make Sunday 24th September 2017 a day to remember. It was particularly pleasing to receive the following message from Steve Bretherton (IPA Branch Cambridgeshire): “Just a quick note to say a big thank you (IPA Leicestershire) and all the other organisers for a great day at Mallory Park on Sunday. My group had a fantastic time, including meeting Chris Rea and seeing his 999 panda car, which was a bonus. We’ve already updated our Facebook page to show our members what a great day they missed. I’m sure that I can attract more people to the event next year and I’d like to book a minibus to make it as easy as possible for members to attend from Cambridgeshire”. Chris Rea is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist, recognisable for his distinctive, husky voice and slide guitar playing. One of his most famous hits is ‘Driving Home for Christmas’. He was the driver of a well preserved Morris Minor ‘Police Car’ and took part in the Historic Racing Driver’s Club (HRDC) ‘Coys’ Trophy Race. It was lovely to watch these classic cars turn out in force and hurtle around the track.
