Proto Historic & Classic

THE SPIRIT OF PROTO HISTORIC & CLASSIC 

In 2024, we wanted to create a new trophy dedicated to Protos, divided into two main categories: Proto Historic and Proto Classic. We would like to propose a new division of these vehicles, with the Proto Historic grouped with the Racing Over 2Ls and the Proto Classic with the GT Classic. The aim this year was to restore competitiveness on the track by grouping cars according to their period of construction and their performance, as in international competitions.

ELIGIBLE CARS

The Proto Historic & Classic Trophy is open to Prototypes homologated up to 2000, according to the breakdowns below:

PTH/PTHN required, possibility of accepting cars in the process of applying for PTH or conforming in all respects to appendix K and the completed 2024 Approval Form for the vehicle.

The operator reserves the right to welcome non-ranking "Guest" competitors with cars similar to the eligible cars. Cars considered to be replicas or continuations may be accepted at the sole discretion of the operator,

decision of the operator. They will automatically be classified as "Guest" and will not score any points in the

score points in the French Championship. These cars will score points in the Proto Historic & Classic Trophy only in their "Guest" class.

RACE FORMAT

The standard race format comprises 3 rounds:

1 qualifying practice session of 20 min.

2 races of 25 min.

Two drivers may share a car.

CLASSIFICATION & CHAMPIONSHIP

The Trophy comprises 5 classes:

Proto Classic :

- Less than 2L

- < 3L - 12-valve engines

- < 3L - 24-valve engines

Proto Historic :

- SP 2000

- Less than 2L

These grids will count towards the French FFSA Historic Single-Seater/Proto Championship.

Drivers holding a valid national or international licence issued by the FFSA or by a foreign ASN (countries assimilated by the FIA) will automatically be entered in the French Historic Circuit Championship and will score for the title.

In the event of the same car being driven by several drivers, one in one race, the other in a separate race, each driver will score only the points acquired by his personal result.

The cars in this Trophy will also be able to take part in the 200 Km race organised on most Historic Tour.
