Press release from todays FIA World Motor Sport Council reveals that for the next ten years 1990 will be considered the cut off date for Historic Cars.
Historic racing really started in the early 1960's when a group of racers decided that there should be an arena for the front engined F1 cars to play-and they were only about 5 years old then
My personal view is that in ten years time there probably won't be much Motor Sport about-we'll see- but to condemn the last twenty five years worth of cars with the next ten years to follow seems a little short sighted to me.
At least in the US we see them running in vintage events very shortly after they become obsolete.
The good news is that the FIA have succumbed to the competitor pressure and extended HTP life to 10 years,Mind you I bet that has messed up some ASN budget predictions as to their old racing car owners wealth tax.
