In homage to the formative
years of the BTCC, the HRDC will present two historic feature races which
illustrate the varied makes and models which were instrumental in
pioneering Britain's premier Touring Car championship.
The races are titled as 'The
History of the BTCC 1958 - 1966' and will take place on Silverstone's
Grand Prix circuit (supporting the Brticar24 event on 25 April) and at
the Donington Historic Festival (3 May). These two races follow the
successful running of this innovative historic race format at last
year's Donington Historic Festival, where the 36-car grid was
over-subscribed, despite only being announced at very short notice.
HRDC Race Director, Julius
Thurgood, commented: "When I was approached by the organisers of the
Donington Historic Festival in 2014 to come up with a twist on the
historic touring car race format, I immediately proposed this homage to
the early years of the BTCC, which after all created some of the most
memorable touring car battles of all time.
"Although given only five
weeks' notice to build the event, such was the take-up that we fielded a
full grid! Feedback after the race was so positive that I took the
decision to run two races in 2015, with an ongoing view to building the
format into a regular HRDC Series".
Entry for both races is still open and forms can be downloaded from these links:
