FIA grants Group A historic status.

I may have interpreted the FIA speak incorrectly, but have a read through this document, released on the 28/10/09
http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public.nsf/A479CFDE19A21D01C125739100476093/$FILE/Annexe%20K2010_28.10.09.pdf (http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public.nsf/A479CFDE19A21D01C125739100476093/$FILE/Annexe%20K2010_28.10.09.pdf)

Then scrolling down to Page 120, read section # 3, Provision J.

Is a homologated touring car 1982-1990 what you would refer to as Gp A, in FIA speak? I would think so?

This is great news for many reasons and the thought of tackling Spa or the Nurburgring in a local car, can now be a reality, but it has some interesting ramifications regarding prices and not wanting to be chicken little, in keeping cars local.

I think we all knew it was only a matter of time, now lets see what comes of it. On a side note, I would also recommend that if you are "nearly there" on a Gp A purchase, that you speed it up a bit!

Cheers, Chris.

Hi Chris,

Would you be able to download this and post it. You need to log to the FIA to get it....and I don't have a log in.

cheers

Sorry Craig,

Go to http://fia.com/en-GB/sport/regulations/Pages/FIAHistoricRacingChampionships.aspx and then scroll down to 2010 Appendix K under "Related Regulations". Then scrolling down to Page 120, read section # 3, Provision J.

E or call me if you are still having a problem.

Cheers, Chris.

I have beem made aware of FIA moving this about on there website. It's a bunfight to find, but it also has Group A rules for 1985 and 1990 too.
http://fia.com/en-GB/sport/regulations/Pages/FIAHistoricRacingChampionships.aspx go to Appendix J of the period. Then scroll allllllll the way down to App J 1985 and 1990. I hope this helps, Cheers, Chris.
