Historic Touring Car Challenge Heads to Snetterton - Motor Racing Legends.
Full press release here.
Historic Technical Passports (HTPs)
Good news for Tony Dron Trophy cars! Both the MSA and the FIA have agreed to re-issue (at no cost) any HTPs issued before April 7th 2017 for cars that were meant to be to BTCC regs. The date is when the new class specifically for these cars became part of Appendix K Regulations.
This applies where the HTP has already been approved as a Group 2 car, but where the car is actually to be to the BTCC regulations (effectively Group 1½). Cars must be technically correct to the BTCC regulations, be a correct period specification and complying with Appendix K.
The car will be issued with a revised HTP with the new class and will need to have a new FIA sticker which will be put on the car by an MSA Registrar. The date of expiry would remain the same. The car may need some new photos and revisions to the text. The Registrar will do this.
Normally the same Registrar that carried out the initial inspection would be involved and a fee (to be negotiated with the Registrar) would be payable for his time and effort. However John Hopwood has generously agreed to take the photos and revise text for cars entered in the Tony Dron Trophy at no cost providing the car is at a meeting where he is officiating. Please contact John directly to arrange. Email:

We look forward to seeing all the Touring Cars out at Snetterton next month.
Best regards
