Retro Roadsports

Overview

What’s it about?
The same ethos and rules framework as 750MC’s hugely popular Roadsports Championship, but with regulations specifically tailored for older generations of hatchbacks, sports and saloon cars.

Who is it for?
Competitors looking to race a slightly older racecar in a formula that only features similar older cars and powerplants, however with regulations that still allows the racing to be as ultra close and competitive as the existing Roadsports Championship.

Is it Multi-Class?
There will be a class structure based on power to weight similar to existing Roadsports, and with model year also taken into account in results.

What Cars Are Eligible?
Production sports, saloons and hatchbacks from the 1970s up to around the 1996 model year. Regulations will feature specific clarification for certain cars, models, engines & platforms that sit slightly over this year.

What Cars Might We Expect To See?
Plenty of variety; from older Alfa Romeo models, to E21, E28, E30 and E36 BMWs, Peugeot 205 GTis and Renault 5s, Mk1 & 2 VW Golf GTis, Mk1 Mazda MX-5s, Mk1 or Mk2 Toyota MR2s, Honda CRX and early Civics, Vauxhall Novas, Corsas & Vectras, MGBs, MGFs & Midget variants, Mk1 Renault Clios, various Jaguars, Mk1 & 2 Escorts, Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 Fiestas – plus any unique retro car of your choice…

Are Engine Swaps Permitted?
Yes but they will be mainly limited to manufacturer group and there will be an age limit on the engine. ie. Only slightly newer powerplants and common swaps – no modern day forced induction into older cars.

What About Appearance and Bodywork?
Retro Roadsports will specifically recognise and reward car preparation, liveries and period appearance alongside the silverware for on-track performance. We’ll even ensure that any mandatory club and sponsor logos are period and neutral colours to preserve appearance.Aero modifications will be permitted but within defined regulations.

Is Car Sharing Permitted?
Yes; races will mostly be the same as Roadsports Championship with 45min outings split by a mandatory 1min pitstop featuring an optional driver change. However there might be occasional shorter race and/or a double header on the calendars.
