Modern Classics" is a development of the German car only series "Deutsche Marque" which this series will replace.
"Modern Classics" will be for all makes of production saloon & hatchback (above 2 litres) and all production GT and sportscars in production up to 1 Jan 2000 of any engine capacity. Sub-2 litre forced induction saloons and hatchbacks will be allowed as they are excluded from the Tin Tops Series. In addition to the German Marques previously raced in “Deutsche Marque”, the Series will welcome cars such as the Lotus Elise, Mazda MX5, Fiat Coupe, Subaru Impreza, Alfa Romeo V6, Ginetta G20, Vauxhall Vectra V6 and TVR to name but a few.
Some slightly later cars may be allowed at the discretion of the committee if deemed to be in the spirit of the series, such as the later Porsche Boxsters, forced induction BMW Minis and Fiat 500 Abarths. Lotus 7-type cars are already catered for by the clubs "Magnificent Sevens" series so will not be eligible.
The eligibility rules will be simple, to encourage wide participation, as in all CSCC Series.
Cars must:
Run their original production silhouette.
Run their original type of engine and gearbox.
Run their original type of induction.
Run on MSA List 1a or 1b tyres.
Cars may only run standard types of spoiler or splitter originally fitted to the production model. Limited motorsport edition spoilers, splitters and wheelarch extensions will not be allowed. There are no restrictions on engine internals, brakes, wheels, suspension, etc. though cars must comply with current MSA safety regulations.
The CSCC “Deutsche Marque” series has been almost entirely populated by cars of the 1990s and was in fact started due to demand from owners of cars that were too young to run in the CSCC Future Classics. This series is a logical progression for the CSCC to open up the series to makes from other countries and all the currently registered Deutsche Marque cars will be eligible for Modern Classics as long as they still comply with the eligibility rules.
Races will run to the usual CSCC format one or two drivers, 40 minute pitstop races at all our 2013 meetings. There will also be the opportunity to race at Spa.
Ill be running my GT4 celica next year .... its not going to be very fast as its practically still a road car and weighs as much as a truck and runs a stock engine
