According to Time and Two Seats book there were this championship in Great Britain during that period:

Autosport Championship - 1956-1965
Autosport World Cup - 1959-1962 (for British and Dutch driver; held in both countries)
BRSCC Sports Car Championship - 1959-1960
Motoring News/Tricentrol GT Championship - 1967-74
RAC British Sports Car Championship 1968-69 (group 4 cars)
Scottish GT/Special GT/Sports GT/Sports Championship 1968-78 (more club events around Ingliston Circuit)
RAC Two-Liter Sports Car Championship (1970, 1976)

While compiling non-championship sportscar races (http://wsrp.wz.cz), I wonder if any of those races were part of any of these championships. So I'd like to ask for race calendars of these championships or any other information of interest about them.

I'll start first with what I already have. Race calendars follows but I have a problem that TTS ignores RAC championship 1971-1972 and also years 1967-68. I think there was also RAC championship in 1965 for group 7 cars as well as in 1966 but my list is very unrealiable (that's why rounds 101 etc.). I also don't know how to fit 1964 Guards Championship into Time and Two Seats table and what about Redex GT Championship 1964. Can someone help more?
