The weekend’s Masters Historic Festival at Brands Hatch will see racing enthusiast Roger Wills compete in every event.

Wills, a regular GT racer, will get to race his fleet of historic cars at the Kent circuit in all 15 races.

He even plans to race two cars in one event as he switches between his McLaren and Elva during pit-stops in the Sports Racing Masters endurance race.

The classics he plans to race range from a 1961 Mini Cooper to a pair of Formula 1 cars from Lotus and Williams.

He also plans to pilot a Lotus Elite, a BMW CSL a Russian Gaz Volga and a rented Van Diemen Formula Ford car for the Champion of Brands FF1600 race.

Wills (pictured) said: "It will be busy that’s for sure but it is also par for the course.

"Weekends like this one are rare for me, so I like to maximise the time available.

"I’ll be tired by the end of the weekend but it will be great fun."

The Masters Historic Festival features racing from the great cars of the last 60 years and includes events for Formula 1, Sportscars, GTs and Touring Cars.

There will also be track demonstrations from more modern F1 cars and car club parades and displays.
