Woodman makes tearful return to Combe

The famous Cologne Capri of Vince Woodman winning in the 1970s touring cars race

A tearful Vince Woodman took an emotional victory in the first race of the weekend at the Castle Combe Circuit's two-day Classic Carnival, some 22 years after his famous car last raced there.

Woodman, from Chipping Sodbury, achieved international success at the wheel of his Cologne Capri in the 1970s and 80s, the car still holding the Special Saloon lap record at Castle Combe set in 1977, before the circuit was slowed with the addition of two extra corners.

Having undergone a major rebuild and with Woodman recovering from a hip operation, the car qualified seventh in Saturday's rain-soaked qualifying session for the Touring 70s Group 1 saloon car race.

With co-driver Dan Cox, from Bristol, at the wheel, the Ford was in the lead halfway through the second lap, Cox going on to build a substantial lead before handing over to Woodman 30 minutes into the 45 minute race.

Escort driver Laki Christoforou was closing, but Woodman kept his cool, crossing the line two and a half seconds clear.

Holding back the tears, Woodman said: "The car is even better than it was when it was new. It means so much to me to win again at Castle Combe after all these years, just incredible."
