A certain vehicle can be considered eligible to participate in the “Historic Endurance” event, if the organizing committee considers that it will benefit the majority of competitors, the show and the organization.
What is Appendix K?
It is a set of FIA rules that regulates Historic Racing on a European level. The concept states that only changes made to cars at the time can be replicated, and are usually documented on the homologation sheet or through the set of rules in force at that time.
Continued commitment to historic tyres:
After resolving the Dunlop tyre issues in 2017, we were able to have the entire grid using Avon CR6ZZ or Dunlop Racing tyres, ensuring more equality of Performance across the grid and compliance with FIA Appendix K rules. These historic tyres, because of their height and construction, provide a more spectacular drive making for a unique spectacle for teams and spectators alike. Watching our cars go by is the kind of thing that makes you fall in love with your favourite sport.
Continually increasing technical checks and engine certification:
Our concept of "No Crashing, No Cheating, No Complaining" and our set of races, not championships, presuppose greater relaxation between competitors. However, we have to be aware of potential abuses between participants.
New Rules for 2022:
The new rules that will apply to all Historic Endurance participants.
