Don’t be- we all get fooled by websites that aren’t up to date!
The calendar that is accessible from the top of this Historic Racing Today forum is as up to date as any for ‘our’ racing. Doesn’t include any non historic stuff though. Click on any of the events listed and you go to the relevant thread! |

Historic Motor Racing Gmbh have now announced the U2TC and Pre '63 calendars. Note that the tin tops are NOT at Silverstone Classic. Also interesting is that the admin for both will now be handled by Motor Racing Legends. From the email-
Dear HMR Drivers, Happy New Year to one and all. We hope you had a good break and are looking forward to the 2019 season. Forgive the end of year silence - a long holiday in South America and the fact that we have made some changes to the organisation has kept us from communicating earlier. New Admin Arrangements for U2TC and Pre-'63GT: Having seen the way historic motor racing is changing, we thought it best to team up with a bigger organisation that could provide you with a more professional management of the series. We are therefor delighted to announce that Motor Racing Legends will be taking on the day-to-day administration of both series for us, and your main contact for entries and organisational questions will be with them. We at HMR will still be here to help shape the regulations, the calendar and general direction of the two series. You are always welcome to contact us any time with comments or questions. We think this will bring about a very positive change for you, while maintaining the friendly, family-like character of the series and the quality of car selection. In the case of Pre-’63 Ben Cussons will remain as head of the Selection Committee and oversee the technical regulations, and DK Engineering will continue their valuable to support of the series. 2019 Calendar Donington Historic Festival 3-5 May (U2TC and Pre-’63 GT) Thruxton Motorsport Celebration 1-2 June (U2TC only) Silverstone Classic 26-28 July (RAC Tourist Trophy Pre-'63 GT only) Spa Six Hours 27-29 September (U2TC only) Algarve Classic Festival 1-3 November (U2TC and Pre-'63 GT) Wherever possible U2TC will have two 40-minute races. Pre-'63 GT will have one hour races, except for the TT at Silverstone where the race will be 50 minutes. Further details and entry forms will be coming soon! In the meantime write these dates in the diary. Your contact at Motor Racing Legends will be Gillian Carr, who you all know from our race meetings last year. Email Gillian'at'motorracinglegends.com. Estoril Festival: We will be working with Diogo Ferrao of Race Ready organising races for pre-1975 Sports Cars and Formula 1 cars up to 1985 at the Estoril Classics meeting on 11-13 October. Both these races have attracted sponsorship and in the case of the F1 cars, substantial start money will be paid to all competitors. In the case of the sports cars, the first 20 competitors to enter will be paid start money. Contact us at HMR at this email address or the phone number below for regulations and entry forms for these two races. We look forward to an exciting and successful season under these new arrangements. |

Interesting indeed.
Looks like MRL are moving into the "Masters" style business model. Albeit they are no doubt being paid to do the organising. |

I was seated next to Duncan W’s business partner (from memory- that’s how I think he described himself) at the Jag Challenge do, and appears they have another side to the business running motoring events, like for instance the LR anniversary do at Gaydon (I think) last year. And of course they now run the racing side of Donington HF, and I believe the Thruxton Revival this year as well. I see them taking over admin of Carol’s series as a positive move, but whether the U2TC grid numbers improve- that’s another question!

Yes, I agree it is positive. Also I concur, the advent of seriously quick Lotus Cortinas (as opposed to simply very quick) has had the expected result on entries.

We did have a single Alfa take the fight to them last year. Maybe that will encourage a few others out!

I think the Furiani Alfas are the quickest? Will be interesting if one turns up in PA 60s Endurance again- would a real contender for the under 2.5 litre class championship. |

This brings up back to a very old Simon H post suggesting it would be good to stop Corvinas' development. And Zef' mentioned that with a front runner he had before, now he can just finish around the tenth place. Lets stick to facts and only facts. Previously, already overdeveloped Tisa's could win. Ten years later they can't anymore. What has been discovered on the Lotus bloc since? A f-good question, isn't it Mike?

So is the day if the small organiser disappearing? Is the day of the motor club done? I know HSCC seems strong but I keep seeing that various of their series are struggling with numbers.
It seems that there are big commercial organisers are hoovering up the entries. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

I take it you saw them all moaning about it being a 'bike circuit' on their facebook page then before they had it removed

Sometimes declaring interest and actually entering races are not the same thing! Proof of the pudding will be how many turn out for first meeting....
