LATEST UPDATES TO APPENDIX K
Following the last World Motor Sport Council meetings, an updated version of Appendix K has been published and will be applicable from 1st of January 2022 with the following amendment being adopted:

HOMOLOGATED CARS – Appendix K – Article 7.3.3
Following the work achieved by the Historic Technical Working Group through the FIA archives, a list of corrected minimum weights for specific homologated cars reflecting the publication of FIA Bulletin n°43 of January 1, 1971, and applicable from Period G2 will come into effect.

TYRES – Appendix K – Article 8
As per our previous newsletter, the updated version of Article 8 for tyres is now incorporated and will be applicable from 1st of January 2022. However, the homologation procedure remains ongoing and further details will follow during the first trimester of 2022, ready for the start of the season.
As detailed in the regulations, the Historic Technical Tyre List will provide all the acceptable products for the Vintage (FIA Period C to E included) and Historic (FIA Period F) range.

CONDITION TESTING – Appendix III
Further work achieved by the Historic Technical Working Group to bring Appendix III up to speed with the current specific standards and requirements for condition testing for suspension components. Housekeeping which we hope will help the community.

SPECIFICS – Appendix VII – PORSCHE 901/911
Addition of a clarification for the use of timing chain tensioners on the Porsche 911 engines from 1964 onwards.

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS FOR FORMULA JUNIOR CARS – Appendix XIII – Article 4.4
As detailed since its publication at the end of 2019 and with a two-year notice, adjustable spring platforms will not be acceptable for Period E Formula Junior cars. This is applicable to current Historic Technical Passports and any new application and/or renewals.

The regulations are available - here

Any indication of when and where will we be able to see a revised tyre list?

The tyre list will be published on the FIA Website before the start of the season and information will be sent to promoters and clubs.

I can see that there is now the option of an alternative to Dunlop Historic tyres with the addition of the Continental/Hoosier tyre. However, so far I've not managed to find any way of acquiring such tyres.

Anyone any ideas?

Continental-Hoosier and the Continental Renner Racing are at the moment available through their main distributor and warehouse - https://reifenschlag.de/

The full network of distributors in each country is in the build-up.

Thanks Duddha for the information and link.

Comparing the prices quoted in Germany against the equivalent sized Dunlop Historics (albeit from the UK price list) appears to indicate a 40% premium for the new tyre. Unless someone can demonstrate a significant advantage over the Dunlops (i.e. in the quality) I think they may struggle.

2025 Appendix K is available here.

Today’s World Council meeting saw the approval of a rare and significant update to the regulations governing the eligibility of historic cars to take part in motor sport competitions.

These changes to Appendix K of the International Sporting Code mean that, from 2025, racing cars built between the years 1991 and 2000 will be able to carry the Historic Technical Passports that allow them to compete in FIA championships and international motor sport events.

This update will bring many of the world’s most iconic race and rally cars back into the crucible of motor sport, allowing fans and enthusiasts to enjoy the sights and sounds of what was a remarkable decade of technological advancement.

In circuit racing, legendary Formula 1 racers from the spectacular turbo era, which previously were only approved for demonstration, are now moving to the race categorisation, together with F1 cars from the period 1987-2000.

The Formula 1 3.5 litre machines that followed the ban of turbo engines will be returning to competition, as well as the much-loved Formula 3000 category. In sportscar racing, this new period of eligibility means that historic events will now reflect the rise of the iconic Le Mans Prototypes and GT with cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, Porsche 911 GT1, McLaren F1 GTR, or Ferrari F40 LM, Jaguar XJ220, and Chrysler Viper.

For touring car fans, the Super Touring period now falls into eligibility as well, bringing fan-favourites from the likes of Audi, Opel, Renault, Alfa Romeo and Volvo back to do battle once again.

The change for historic rally sees a wide range of new cars become eligible, including some of the most iconic categories in recent memory.

The classic Group A period of the mid 90's included cars like the Group A Subaru Impreza, synonymous with the late Colin McRae. The Mitsubishi Lancer and Ford Escort Cosworth were also hugely successful in this era, together with cars from Toyota and Lancia.

As the 90's decade came to an end, the World Rally Car format was introduced in 1997. These turbo 4WD cars were at the cutting edge of transmission technology, braking and performance. The Toyota Corolla WRC, Subaru Impreza WRC, Ford Focus WRC and the Peugeot 206 WRC remain some of the most popular and alluring rally cars to this day.

The move to year 2000 opens up an unprecedented variety of new rally cars from the humble Nissan Micra through to the iconic legendary cars of the sport above.

The FIA will make further announcements and conduct workshops in early 2025 to help the owners of the newly-eligible historic cars apply for their Historic Technical Passports and get the cars racing again.

The historic rallying community in the UK will be appalled that these 'modern' cars are now classed as Historic. Toys will be thrown out the pram if the Escort Mk II can't win events.
