Cars & Drivers

Cars allowed are 1960's and 1970's GT-s, sports and sports saloons. The body shape of eligible cars must have commenced manufacture prior to and including 1977.

Tyres

All cars must run on 'E' Marked treaded tyres with the exception of Minis which can run on Miglia tyres.

However, if it is a wet race and you wish to use wets, then this is allowed.

Bodywork

Non standard material may be used but bodywork must look original / remain in period. Only subtle reshaping of wheel arches on existing body panels will be permitted to allow fitting of wider wheels. This will be at the discretion of the organisers.

Engines / Gearboxes / Axles

Engine must be of a type and size that was used in period.
No supercharger or forced induction, unless standard in period.
No sequential boxes will be allowed.

Sponsors logos

All competitors will be required to run the sponsors logos, which could differ from meeting to meeting.  It will also be necessary for you to run at some of the meetings with a windscreen banner.
Windscreen banners will be mandatory if we introduce a series sponsor.

Pit Stops and Success Penalties

All cars will have a mandatory pit stop of 1 minute.  If you are a single driver you still have to turn the engine off, get out of the car and get  straight back in, but the car must not leave until the 1 minute is up.
 
This will be timed from when the car stops with its engine off outside the pit.
 
The first three cars home will carry a time penalty which will be added to their pit stop at the next race, whether it will be the same day, or at the next meeting.  If the next race happens to be a single driver race, then this penalty will be carried over until the next two driver endurance race.
 
N.B this penalty is applicable to the car, not the driver.
 
The time penalties are as follows:
 
                P1           15 seconds
                P2           10 seconds
                P3             5 seconds
 
Once you have received one of these penalties, it will stay with the car for the season.
 
However, we must stress that this is a trial period initially and it is designed not to have the same car winning all the while.
 
Do not forget that drive throughs will still be issued for pit lane speeding, changing drivers with the engine running and not adhering to the pit stop window and one minute stops.
 

Class Structure

This will be based on a mixture of both car types, along with their modifications and known lap times of the fastest driver.  Heavily modified cars, depending upon their speed, may well be moved to a different class.

Invitations

The organisers reserve the right to permit cars outside of these parameters to complete - by invitation only - if they are of the correct age and type and deemed to be of significant interest provided their performance is comparable to and not superior to the majority of other entrants.

Driving Standards

We will be policing these rules throughout the season and also instigating a self policing system for driving standards. We will not accept un-gentlemanly driving.

Dropped rounds

If you cannot make one of the races, you can transfer your place to another driver of an eligible car at your own discretion. Or, if we have a reserve list and are able to place your entry on your behalf, we will return your entry fee, less £100 administration costs.

Extra Rounds

If an opportunity arises for extra races, we will offer the places first to fully paid up members. Thereafter other cars may be allowed enter, but that would be at a higher cost than a fully paid up member.
