I think people have been trying to do this since the 1920's at Brooklands! Have a look at the rules for the Pomeroy Trophy run by the VSCC. Completely bonkers and eccentric, but somehow charming - i.e. the usual multipliers for capacity/turbos/four wheel disks etc, added to a handicaping system based on the cars age, distance between the clutch pedal and the rear axle, and the amount of suitcases you can fit in the boot. Silly, but totally brilliant. The upshot is that if your car is road legal, you can race. You end up with 911's & NSX's racing (on time at anyrate) against pre-war Bentleys and Frazer-Nash's. The rules are heavily in the older cars favour, but if you enter with the idea of trying to win, you have somehow missed the point.... <Off Topic / End!> |
