THRUXTON’s third Easter Revival weekend gets underway on Saturday – and the Daily Echo has two family tickets to give away.

The retro motorsport festival has more than 200 entries confirmed and the mouthwatering prospect of no fewer than 17 wheel-to-wheel contests.

Under the expert organisation of the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC), the Easter Revival celebrates the heritage of Thruxton, which has hosted racing since 1968.

On the high-octane bill are a breathtaking variety of sportscars, touring cars and single-seaters spanning four decades from 1959 to 1983.

COMPETITION: To win two Easter Revival family tickets (two adults, two children), email your answer to the following question, along with a contact telephone number, to echosport@dailyecho.co.uk by 5pm on Thursday, April 1.

Q: Which is the fastest motorsport circuit in Britain?

The racing is set to be fast and furious, with a packed schedule including Historic Touring Cars, Classic Formula 3, Historic Formula Ford 1600 and 2000, Formula Junior, Guards Trophy for GT cars and the Derek Bell Trophy for powerful single-seaters.

“It always feels like a long off-season without racing, and there’s no better way to banish those winter blues and get back on-track again than the Easter Revival,” enthused Thruxton Group Managing Director Bill Coombs.

“We’ve had two superb editions already, and the appetite for historic motorsport right now is so great that we have no doubt the 2015 event will be the biggest and best yet.

“There are some spectacular cars on the entry list as we turn back the clock to a bygone era – and if the racing is even half as good as it was last year, spectators are in for a real treat!”

Qualifying begins at 9am on Saturday, with racing getting underway at 13:00. Sunday’s qualifying begins at 10:45 with the racing due to begin at 12:40.

Amongst the drivers will be the erstwhile grand prix ace and Top Gear TV presenter Tiff Needell, a Saints fan, in his Lotus 69 Historic Formula Ford 1600.
