Historic Road Sports

Like its 1970s counterpart, the Historic Road Sports Championship is for production sports and GT cars built and registered between 1947 and 1969. The grids are always packed, with models ranging from TVRs to Lotus, MG, Ginetta and Turner.  To be eligible, models should have a period competition history and some modifications to engines and suspension are permitted. For full list see the “Weights” document on this page.
