Sweet, they needed something to boost the Fall Historics race. The Mitty is huge and the paddock space is maxed out but the fall race is mostly locals. Good to see new stuff and some great cars.

Also for those interested in the USA series, the Masters GP guys also are running those weekends with mostly DFV F1 cars, 66-85 3L cars.

Euro 2020 draft regs
https://www.mastershistoricracing.co...L%20DRAFT.pdf/

USA 2020 final regs
https://www.mastershistoricracing.co...s%20FINAL.pdf/

As discussed before, while not particularly ground breaking there are some not so welcoming changes made to European series, which make me prefer the USA version now. And this is weird: 4.3.7 "Daytona Prototypes will be classified in the appropriate LMP2 class."

Well they were balanced, ok vaguely balanced-ish, to the P2s after the merger so that seems fair to get more cars in a class and give a guy a place to race. I would guess most people have the later DP chassis with the diffusers over early models. There are more than a few running in HSR and are all Vette types

Exactly. Knowing Masters, they will write their regs to attract those cars running in HSR. The more cars on the grid, the more cash coming in....

They're running a couple overlapping events. Thankfully one is my local track this fall, no, I'm not at all counting the days and camping for it. Usually a day trip but this year HSR, Masters Endurance and Masters GP in one weekend.

Well those who own these cars so ship them around the world. And if you own a DP and want to race at a European track what better way to go? Still the same people they'd be attracting in the US.

Yes, all they’ve done is add US eligible DPs to the eligibility list for Europe. Makes total sense and no doubt at the request of owners who may be considering an event or two this side of the pond.....

It never happened IIRC, but during Britcar's heyday in the early '10s there was a plan to bring DPs over (Nobody said Tucker wasn't ambitious )

So maybe there are a couple that ended up in Europe in anticipation of this?

And some Gt500 cars from Super GT also. An NSX and a Z from memory but they never showed.

For obvious reasons, the season's been kind of clunky with million cancellations, including the latest one at WEC Spa they had announced just few weeks ago. However they have managed to pull off one event so far, at Donington last month. And while it was a sorry micro grid of 8 cars (including the previously mentioned weirdo "GT2" Corvette with GT1 sticker in it & random old Cup Porsche), there were two SMP LMP2s! Just a crying shame that mere 5 year old cars are here, obsolete from ACO racing while other spec cars get million year renewals, but anyway good to have at least a place for them in historics. These cars belong to the track, not collecting dust somewhere. We've seen enough of Group C historics for a lifetime, but not these

Catch SMP at 1:20 for example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rMfHtbwdEQ

They also won overall R1 from Lola B12/60 Judd LMP1, and came second and third to that Lola in R2

Yes they are/were amazing... What a great period of time we lived through. But everything does come to end eventually, as they say.

Hopefully next year, we'll get some professionally shot coverage again, at least Silverstone Classic should be given

They're supposed to be with the US based HSR in October at Road Atlanta. I'm going to go WAY out on the limb to guess no, sadly they aren't. The lineups look great.

I was at Paul Ricard during the Dix Mille Tours of Peter Auto, it was so cool to see this cars racing again. But i'm feeling old now, it was my first time "historic" cars racing which I also saw racing when they were modern

Nice, don't think either of those will ever make the trip sadly. The Panoz guys should since they'll be back "home"

The weirdest was watching the Whelen Corvette DP run at Petit in October '16 and then appear in HSR at The Mitty in April '17. Or the LMPC cars running at Petit AND HSR the same years. But that's HSR, run what ya have and we'll figure it out.
