Swinging 60s Series
supported by Yokohama

With the first racing in 2003 the Swinging 60s series has been going from strength to strength and is supported by a wonderful mix of Sports. Saloons and GT cars originally produced in the 1960s.

The races are run over forty minutes – much longer than most club races in the UK – and include the added excitement of a mandatory pit-stop, so that two drivers may take part. This year two drivers may enter as a team in two cars in order to keep costs down for people who don't want to do (and pay for) more than a 20 minute race or share their car.

The class structure is based on engine capacity to encourage competitive racing through the field and give everyone something to race for - there's even a class for Dunlop shod cars. This provides battles all down the field and provides great entertainment – spectators can come along and watch their favourite “oldies” being driven in spectacular fashion!

In previous years we have taken the series to the Nordschleiffe full circuit (25km), Spa Francorchamps and even Daytona in the USA.

All outright race-winning cars will have a 30-Second timed pit-lane penalty during the driver change window when it next enters a race. This is to be served in a designated area AFTER the usual pitstop manouevre has been completed. Subsequent wins will incur an extra 30-second penalty. These penalties to remain throughout the season.
