Mostly same to last year except no Pre War at Silverstone Classic which is a shame. Looks like U2TC instead.

That gives us (hopefully) a firm date for the Algarve meeting!

Woodcote, SM Trophy, and both Touring car grids at all 5 meetings, Pre ‘63GT misses Thruxton and Spa, while Pre War SC are only at Donington and Spa.

That's firm for Algarve Mike...well as firm as it can be, ourselves and MRL tried to move it to the weekend earlier

Yes, I gathered that there was a move to get it weekend after Estoril! Suggestion was that ELMS got moved forward to that weekend to accommodate the Classic?

Works for me!! Loved Thruxton last couple of years. Hope HTCC can raise a bigger entry though.

It’s usual that no Pre War Sports Cars at Silverstone in Le Mans Classic years

Willmaz223 · 3 Dec 2019, 16:35 (Ref:3944596)

Looks like the Masters Historic Festival and Spa Classic will be clashing if mistaken with both meetings on the 22-24 May next year.

Very frustrating if so

What's the delay with the most important calendar of all - Historic F2? Can't plan the year without that one.

Jungle drums tell me they are waiting for confermation on a Spa date . I’m planning on. Racing in F2 next year .As soon as I hear about dates you will be the first to know . Pretty sure first round will be at Hockenheim same date as FJ.

Thanks. I love the sight and sound of these cars. I dream of seeing them again at Thruxton one day but I guess that's not going to happen now the series is so high profile.

Never say never Mike. My dream is a full grid of Atlantic's at Thruxton.
