After an extremely successfully 2016 with an average of 47 entries per weekend and four out of seven races where we had to turn down entries due to full capacity. Quality-wise, we are very proud of the teams, drivers and cars racing with us, creating an amazing spectacle for those who unfortunately are not able to race.

Considering the above, it would be nonsense to change our formula. However, in some aspects 2017 will be an evolution from 2016. We will keep the same events, some with a slightly different date, like Jerez and Estoril 250KM. Our rules will also slightly change regarding the Toyo tyres (including rain tyres) and Tyres for De Tomaso. However, our standard tyre will be the Avon CR6ZZ and more news about tyres will be released soon.

Last but not the least, our “spirit” is the most important item. Relaxed Historic Racing. We are very proud our races aren’t don’t give points to any championship. Usually championships have points, so drivers are forced to go to a meeting to be champions. We believe that in Historic Racing each race meeting should be enough challenge and fun in itself, so no season points are awarded. Therefore, each driver racing is because he wants to go to that specific race meeting and enjoy himself.
That means we have less drivers racing, but they are happy drivers that come for the final result but mostly for the overall experience. If the final result is good even better!

Our season starts at on the first weekend in March at Valencia, a homologated F1 circuit with the best Climate conditions in Europe. The meeting includes a Friday full day test day for any Historic car and fast single seaters.

Any questions just let us know."

Do you know what the general format is for the IHC events Mike? Perhaps I am being thick but I can't find any mention of it on their website or in the event calendar.
