That's a good question that I would like the answer to, as well!. However, it's history so I'm moving it to the more appropriate forum.

Now where's that thread (in which we discussed such cars) that we ran a couple of months back when you need it?!

I think '82 is a good estimate, I certainly witnessed the last round of the STP series at Thruxton in October '82.

However, I've got a hunch that the category/series continued into 1983?

rcarr has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Im sure that there were modsports races certainly at Ingliston post 82'. Maybe not called modsports as such but certainly the cars were still being run in championships exclusively for those types of cars.

I apologize for my sentence structure, I am dyslexic.

I think 82 could be the last season most cars then went to run in the donington GT series and local sports saloon races around the country
