RSAC Motorsport Three Lochs Classic has 'dreadful' weather

And the recent RSAC Motorsport Three Lochs Classic was no different with organisers noting their members managed to enjoy the recent event, despite the rain.

The Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club in Rhu played host as the base for the vintage vehicles before they set off on a 40-mile or 75-mile run towards the Clyde coast and Renfrewshire.

They then returned to the club for judging.

Some cars were withdrawn and others had to abandon the course part way because of the "dreadful" conditions.

Jonathan Lord, director of RSAC Motorsport, said: "It’s one of the wettest events we’ve had for many years, but the participants enjoyed the day despite the heavy rain.

"The RNCYC clubhouse at Rhu was an ideal venue, and we were made very welcome."

Junior awards went to Ruairid Fleming, Jack McWalters, Hope Phillips and Ben McGarry.

The furthest travelled went to Magnus Sturgeon, who drove up from Humbie, in East Lothian.
