JD Classics completed a dominant one-two finish in the Jaguar Heritage Challenge race held at the Brands Hatch Superprix. The team's expertly prepared lightweight E-Types, piloted by Chris Ward and John Young, crossed the finish line nearly a minute ahead of the third place car.
The two cars of JD Classics remained in a nail-biting battle for the lead until '61 E' pulled in for its compulsory pit stop, merging back in to the race in fourth position. As the cars ahead pulled in to the pit, John Young regained second place, and Chris Ward in the '1196 WK' completed a flawless pit stop to maintain the lead.
The two lightweight E-Types jostled for position, pulling away from the chasing pack and eventually finished just under half-a-second apart. A spectacular race from both drivers saw the JD Classics E-Types finish almost a minute ahead of the next fastest car.
This was the third round of the Jaguar Heritage Challenge, open to all pre-'66 Jaguars, the pinnacle of which is the class contested by racing E-Types.
