The Historic Championship '81 is entering its twentieth season. With around 100 registered drivers, the world's largest historic endurance series will once again showcase racing at its finest - marvellous racing cars from the 1960s to the mid-1970s will battle for positions and class victories in high-performance classes. Around 35 historic racing cars and teams will be at the start. A feast for the eyes for spectators and a challenge for the participants.
Endurance races for GTs, touring cars up to 1981, racing sports cars built up to 1971 and Group A vehicles up to 1985
Endurance races have a long tradition in Germany. The first long-distance competition, the Gordon Bennett Race, took place in the Taunus town of Bad Homburg back in 1904. A distance of 512 kilometres was covered on closed roads, for which the winner needed just under six hours.
A feast for the eyes for spectators and a challenge for participants
With the construction of the Nürburgring and the Hockenheimring, more and more races were moved from public roads to permanent race tracks. Endurance races of 300, 500 or 1000 kilometres, three, four or even 72 hours found more and more fans. Car manufacturers were keen to take part in these events to demonstrate the durability of their models.
