Pre 1978 Classic Saloons

The Pre 1978 Classic Saloons series objective is to encourage and promote those with “Historic and “Classic” Saloons to participate in historic motor racing. Historic motor racing is about comradeship, enjoyment and the spirit and pride of owning and racing a period saloon car. This is a class where “the cars are the stars” and we do race but with a respect for our fellow competitors and their car.

This is for race saloons which either have an up to date Schedule T&C Group 2 or Schedule K Certificate of Description (COD), or would be able to obtain one.  As a broad generalisation, be for cars with all-steel bodies and exterior trim with the majority of the interior intact running the original type of engine and gearbox on WOF standard tyres.

The series is invite only and it is the Coordinators privilege to invite cars that meet the regulations and are within the spirit of historic racing and may add variety to the grid. This applies to all cars and particularly cars of interest that are rare and not commonly seen on our race tracks.
