EQUIPE AWARDED FIRST NATIONAL HISTORIC CHAMPIONSHIP

We are excited to announce the launch of the Uk’s first National Historic Championship, a brand-new race series scheduled for seven rounds across the 2026 season. The championship will showcase the finest pre-1966 GT, GTS and Touring Cars on the UK’s most prestigious circuits.

The UK is the world leader in Historic Motorsport. However, most historic racing is on a single event basis. We believe the sport has lacked a nationally sanctioned championship focused exclusively on the key FIA pre 1966 GT, GTS and Touring Car sector.

The Equipe Historic Championship will feature classes based on engine size and be open to both professional and amateur drivers. Cars will be divided into period-correct classes to ensure fair competition. Every class will have championship points giving equal access to the ultimate prize. Each round will have a thirty minute qualifying session and a sixty minute pit stop race for one or two driver teams and be run at Equipe meetings in 2026.

Great news for Equipe Classic Racing, some great cars in the paddock for sure, and they all get to watch the Equipe MG Cup….
