In the UK we have an event called the Goodwood Revival which is an annual event that allows literally scores of wealthy people who own vintage racing cars (all types) to race them.
It's an unusually relaxed event where nearly everyone dresses up in 1950's/60's clothes and gets to enjoy the atmosphere. All the support vehicles are original and all the staff dress up. It makes for an interesting day.
The racing is fast and furious and when you consider the almost total lack of safety equipment in these cars, plus thin tyres, it can be eventful. The average track speeds for the whole circuit as you expect varied by type and age, but the 1950's cars were averaging over 100mph and the 1960 + old Formula 1 cars considerable more.
I attach a selection of photos, if you would like some more, please let me know.
Panning was difficult as most of the time we were on the main straight and the cars were flying past.
One thing, I am not a petrol head and don't know what most of the cars are, so if you do, shout out.
