Jaguar and the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) have announced further details of the Jaguar Heritage Challenge race series, including event dates, classes and eligible cars. A new web page dedicated to the series has been launched at www.hscc.org.uk jaguar-heritage-challenge to provide further information and a way for potential competitors to apply for an entry.
This championship is open to pre-’66 Jaguar models, and will be split into five classes: Jaguar XK-series cars; pre-’66 saloon models; C-Type, D-Type and XKSS; and two separate E-Type classes. The Heritage Challenge is the first time such a diverse group of historic competition Jaguars will be assembled as part of a race series.
Contested across five 2015 race weekends as listed below, the Heritage Challenge will be taking in some of the best drivers’ circuits in Europe at top historic racing meetings. The schedule is as follows:
May 2-4 – Donington Historic Festival
May 16-17 – Silverstone International (GP Circuit)
July 11-12 – Brands Hatch Super Prix (GP Circuit)
August 7-9 – Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix
August 29-31 – Oulton Park Gold Cup
“A single-marque racing series like the Jaguar Heritage Challenge is a great addition to our racing calendar,” said HSCC CEO Graham White, “and I can’t wait to see some of the finest racing Jaguars of the past lining up on the grid at Donington in May.”
