National novelties: Fiat Panda and a very modified MX-5

There is always a huge range of machines competing in club motorsport and that has certainly been the case in recent weeks with a humble Fiat Panda and a far more modified Mazda MX-5 among those in action

Fiat fun: Panda on the prowl

A Fiat Panda provided the most unusual sight among a wide variety of machinery taking part in last weekend’s Clubsport Trophy mini-enduro race at Silverstone.

The car was making its race debut in the hands of Fiat fanatic Dean Lomas. The long-time mechanic, who was also competing in his own first race, shared the Panda with Clubmans Sports Prototype regular Martin Walker.

Lomas let Walker take the start before bringing the car home safely, 27th of 30 finishers and sixth in class.
