Lover of classic motors? Then Pistons and Props is for you

A combination of historic karts, hot rods and classic racers will line-up at the Footman James Sywell Classic event, Pistons and Props, at Sywell Aerodrome on September 24 and 25.

It’s a must see ‘do for anyone who loves classic motors all-round, you can even spot some in-air fun with two supermarine Spitfires and incredible, high octane twists and turns from an aerobatic display team. 

Back to our beloved bikes, among the classic stunners will be a 1974 Yamaha TZ 700cc, raced in period by American Gene Romero, which won the Daytona 200 in the USA in 1975. This piece of metal will in fact be ridden at the event by former TT competitor Paul Cott. 

During the jam-packed weekend of classic-ness, you will be able to feast your eyes on ex Moto GP rider Laurent Naveau’s 1996 ROC Yamaha YZR 500cc.
