So what is a Group 1.5 car Pete. Guess its something between group 1 and 2. Is my Group 1 RS 2000 OK. Would like to find somewhere to race the car against similar performance cars.

Pete will correct me if incorrect, but the term “Gp 1.5” was adopted for cars running in the British championship after the regulations were relaxed a bit to allow manufacturers to modify beyond Gp1. Other countries adopted their own improvements for domestic championships, calling the category Gp1a or whatever they thought of.... To be absolutely correct, a Gp1.5 car now should be running exactly the same spec as it would have done in period, but there are organisers that simply use the term to class cars that are not running to correct Gp1 spec. For instance an RS2000 not running the correct pancake air cleaner, tubular exhaust, roller top strut mounts, small diameter front springs, etc etc...... |

As an aside, I find it strange that the PCGB, HRDC or a similar organization don't have a series for "classic Porsches". The current PCGB Porsche Club Series is largely run for more modern cars on slick tyres now but I would have thought that there was reasonable market for a series for air cooled 911s and the 924/944/928 of the 80s & 90s. |

And the Peter Auto Porsche 2.0 litre cup was voted race series of the year......
Plus- the Championship was won by a British prepared car with British drivers. |

Talking of Peter Auto and Historic F2, it appears that their attempt to run an alternative series to the HSCC official FIA one has run out of steam, and it will not continue into 2019. Victory for the HSCC?
Will be interesting to see what if anything fills the hole in weekend timetables. Perhaps the more modern endurance cars that have demo’d at some events will get to race..... |

The F2 series was added at the request of some customers that had suitable cars but preferred to race them with PA along with their other cars. Obviously a cost saving... However, the possibility of the series taking cars away from the established FIA championship run by the HSCC caused some friction, but it didn’t happen- only 6 to 8 cars at most meetings! |

This, and the news that F2 will be at the Silverstone Classic, is really great news. F2 is, in my opinion, far and away the best historic series. The cars are wonderful. Impressively quick, sound fabulous and bring back fond memories. i love it.

The CSCC draft calendar was announced a few weeks ago but there have been some changes forced by changes to the DTM date at Brands I think.
The revised calendar is here https://www.classicsportscarclub.co.uk/race-calendar Note: the Magnificent 7s have an outing on the Brands Hatch GP circuit, Thruxton returns and each series has a 2 day, 2 layout meeting at Anglesey (well worth the trip). |

You can go back in and edit, if within a few minutes and no other posts have been made.
Jag Challenge calendar next season is not official, but heavily rumoured at their annual prize giving supper (at the Classic Works- very impressive) to be- May- Donington HF Silverstone International Trophy HSCC June- Dijon (Maybe l’Age d’Or?) Brand Hatch ‘Legends of’ HSCC August- Croft ‘Nostalgia’ HSCC September- Spa 6hrs meetiing Nice selection if the calendar is rubber stamped! Unfortunately the E Type I’ve raced in the series with its owner is being ‘retired’ by said owner, so will be watching from the sidelines...... Although E Types form a large percentage of most races now, still a very nice series with mostly owner drivers and good driving standards. |

I am aware 😁 although I liked to explain the consistency of the crime 😁.
The jag classic is a good series but tbh is becoming more of the old E Type Challenge.Good racing though. |
