Historic Racing

Historic Racing!

As I understand it, so do most of the historic racing is a motorsport discipline or racing discipline as any, even approximately comparable to STCC stuck with older cars. (Good comparison!) But those who run the historic race has probably a slightly different view of things, or rather a different approach to it all!

Of course, as struggling drivers in racing history to win just like in all racing (some can take in a bit too much), and both driver and mechanic put his whole soul into keeping the vehicle / vehicles are in as good condition as possible. But still a wide gap between modern and historic racing. The historic racing has a great respect for history, cars, and the contestant (some people miss, however, it later). This means that all participating race cars are in the original design (except the mother and the good safety equipment) and are built on time-typical way.

As mentioned before, the only exception of the modern safety equipment, which of course follows the FIA requirements. Believe it or not, but even the tires are typical of the time model as well as brakes and transmission. The motors are only allowed to change according to strict standards, and only with modern technology. The smooth appearance of the cars företrädäder their origin. To live up to this, the contestants comply with international rules, Appendix-C, which is the FIA’s statutes of historic racing cars. This regulation covers all the racing cars from the early 1900s until 1990. Within this framework, there are rules for all types of racing cars, ranging from a Volvo Amazon from 1965 to Formula 1 from 1990. But the biggest difference is probably still the respect of competitors.
