Driver representative, Chris Robinson created the series in 2018 at the request of owners and racers of these iconic cars, a number being original cars that were raced in this special period of motorsport, when start and prize money was the norm, with professionals racing in any number of categories.
 

Having raced with a number of clubs and circuits across the UK, the series has steadily grown in numbers and status. The series joined the CSCC in 2024, after looking for a more permanent and solid base that could help the series grow and secure its future.

The Jaguars will share track space with our existing Classic K grid, each category with its own separate regulations and awards.

The Mike Hawthorn Jaguar Challenge, supported by Suffolk Classic Services, typically runs a 30 minute qualifying session and 40 minute pit-stop race, usually on the same day.  ​​

​

New for 2026, please give a very warm CSCC welcome to Suffolk Classic Services, who will be the sole sponsor for the Mike Hawthorn Jaguar Challenge. So as to avoid taking anything away from our Formula One Champion, Suffolk Classic Services have kindly agreed not to have their company name as part of the series title. Given the nature of the work they can offer CSCC members, this series is a perfect match. Look out for a discount (open to members from all CSCC categories) in the new year, printed in the members discount directory.
