Motorsport icons to attend #ChronosAndCar

Goodwood hill climb record holder Nick Heidfeld is to headline a selection of motorsport icons at the #ChronosAndCar event at Shelsley Walsh on March 26.

The current Mahindra Racing Formula E driver will be joined at the car enthusiasts meeting by team principal Dilbagh Gill, 1970 Le Mans winner Richard Attwood, Marino Franchitti and Freddie Hunt.
