200 km
THE CONCEPT
This project was dictated by the wish of drivers participating in the French Historic Circuit Championship to drive longer on the races with the possibility of sharing the wheel.
These races will be called "200 km of the Historic Tour". They will form a Challenge separate from the rankings of the Trophies and those of the French Historic Track Championship.
During the Historic Tour of Dijon, Albi, Lédenon, Magny-Cours and Val de Vienne, a 200km race will be proposed to all the cars, GT, Protos of the meeting (except Lotus Trophy).
The competitors of the Historic Tour will be able to enter either their car already entered in one of the series or a second car as long as it is eligible for one of the regulations of the Trophies constituting the Historic Tour.
The aim is to offer competitors 90-minute races with 2 mandatory pit stops for driver changes (minimum time: 2'30min). They can be run with crews of 1 to 3 drivers. Refuelling is allowed.
ELIGIBLE CARS
Berlines, GT, Protos eligible for one of the Trophies, Cup, Challenge or Series of the Historic Tour. These cars must comply in all respects with the regulations of the Trophy for which they are eligible. Single-seaters and Lotus Trophy cars are not accepted.
CLASSIFICATIONS
A scratch classification will be established for all the cars.
The points will be attributed to each team according to the grid defined in article 9.2 of the French Historic Circuits Championship. There will be a classification of the crews and not of each driver. A driver will be able to appear twice if he competed with different crews and he will not accumulate points.
The points of this Challenge cannot be cumulated with those of the French Championship.
