CONCEPT
The 1980s was the Golden Age of touring car racing, with the European Touring Car Championship offering fantastic races, as well as exciting races in the various national championships with the Group 2 and Group A regulations. It was also in this decade that the mono-brand trophies emerged strongly, attracting a lot of sympathy from both drivers and the public.
Over the years, these cars have gained extra interest. With the same spirit of the 3 C's "No Cheating, No Crashing, No complaining" and with a format similar to the Historic Endurance, we want to offer to the teams and public a competition where these fantastic cars can participate, with a similar spirit to the one we have today in the Iberian Historic Endurance.
The cars accepted for this competition will have to use Toyo Tyres, with a grip similar to the season and a very pleasant cost to use. It will not be accepted cars with own regulations like DTM, SuperTurismos, Australian competitions.
