THE SPIRIT OF THE F3 AND F. RENAULT CLASSIC TROPHIES
Initiated at the end of the 90's, the "F3 Classic Trophy" essentially brings together single-seaters designed in the 70's and 80's, powered by 2-litre engines with intake restrictions. The most famous manufacturers of the time having all tried their hand at it, we can see today the starting grids embellished with the presence of multiple March, Ralt, Martini, Chevron... Many of them display their war paintwork of the time, reminding us that they once ran in the hands of future F1 tenors. As for their current drivers, they are not only French, but also regularly English, Monegasque or Italian.
For twenty years, the "Trophée F. Renault Classic" has essentially brought together two large families of single-seaters: the turbocharged "Formule Renault" of the 1980s, and the 1721cc "Atmo" version that succeeded it. Knowing that beyond the differences, one and the other displays close performances thanks to a judiciously established technical equivalence. As for the drivers, it is not rare to find among them some of the leaders of the time, too happy to renew in this way with such a founding category.

ELIGIBLE CARS
F3 Classic Trophy :
Single-seaters type Formula 3 of 2000cm3, built and having participated in official races before 31/12/1984.

Formula Renault Classic Trophy :

THE SPIRIT OF THE MAXI 1300 SERIES
The rules allow a reasonable preparation by accepting only the "competition" options provided by the manufacturer (ex groups 1, 2, 3, 4) in order to improve the performances while keeping the historical character of the cars. The MAXI 1300 SERIES Trophy is an ideal formula to start in VHC without a big budget, but it also allows experienced drivers to fight for the places of honor at the wheel of very powerful cars.
It is common to see more than 25 cars on the starting grid, including the iconic Mini Cooper S, Alpine A110 or Simca Rallye 2, but also rarer cars such as Honda S800 and Civic, Matra Jet, CG, Ginetta G15, Mini Marcos, Jem and other British rarities.
The atmosphere that reigns within this group of enthusiasts contributes greatly to the success of the Trophy. Mutual aid, good humour and a competitive spirit make the meetings pleasant and the races always exciting!

THE SPIRIT OF PROTO HISTORIC & CLASSIC 

In 2024, we wanted to create a new trophy dedicated to Protos, divided into two main categories: Proto Historic and Proto Classic. We would like to propose a new division of these vehicles, with the Proto Historic grouped with the Racing Over 2Ls and the Proto Classic with the GT Classic. The aim this year was to restore competitiveness on the track by grouping cars according to their period of construction and their performance, as in international competitions.

ELIGIBLE CARS

The Proto Historic & Classic Trophy is open to Prototypes homologated up to 2000, according to the breakdowns below:

Proto Classic :

- Prototypes homologated under 3L between 01/01/1982 and 31/12/2000

PTH/PTHN not compulsory, conforming in all respects to Appendix K and the completed 2024 Approval Form for the vehicle.

Proto Historic :

- Prototypes, all engine sizes, homologated up to 31/12/1981

- Prototypes, under 2L, homologated until 31/12/1989

PTH/PTHN required, possibility of accepting cars in the process of applying for PTH or conforming in all respects to appendix K and the completed 2024 Approval Form for the vehicle.

The operator reserves the right to welcome non-ranking "Guest" competitors with cars similar to the eligible cars. Cars considered to be replicas or continuations may be accepted at the sole discretion of the operator,

decision of the operator. They will automatically be classified as "Guest" and will not score any points in the

score points in the French Championship. These cars will score points in the Proto Historic & Classic Trophy only in their "Guest" class.

RACE FORMAT

The standard race format comprises 3 rounds:

1 qualifying practice session of 20 min.

2 races of 25 min.

Two drivers may share a car.

- Over 2L

These grids will count towards the French FFSA Historic Single-Seater/Proto Championship.

Drivers holding a valid national or international licence issued by the FFSA or by a foreign ASN (countries assimilated by the FIA) will automatically be entered in the French Historic Circuit Championship and will score for the title.

In the event of the same car being driven by several drivers, one in one race, the other in a separate race, each driver will score only the points acquired by his personal result.

The cars in this Trophy will also be able to take part in the 200 Km race organised on most Historic Tour.

THE CONCEPT
This project was dictated by the wish of drivers participating in the French Historic Circuit Championship to drive longer on the races with the possibility of sharing the wheel.
These races will be called "200 km of the Historic Tour". They will form a Challenge separate from the rankings of the Trophies and those of the French Historic Track Championship.
During the Historic Tour of Dijon, Albi, Lédenon, Magny-Cours and Val de Vienne, a 200km race will be proposed to all the cars, GT, Protos of the meeting (except Lotus Trophy).
The competitors of the Historic Tour will be able to enter either their car already entered in one of the series or a second car as long as it is eligible for one of the regulations of the Trophies constituting the Historic Tour. 
The aim is to offer competitors 90-minute races with 2 mandatory pit stops for driver changes (minimum time: 2'30min). They can be run with crews of 1 to 3 drivers. Refuelling is allowed.

ELIGIBLE CARS
Berlines, GT, Protos eligible for one of the Trophies, Cup, Challenge or Series of the Historic Tour. These cars must comply in all respects with the regulations of the Trophy for which they are eligible. Single-seaters and Lotus Trophy cars are not accepted.

CLASSIFICATIONS 
A scratch classification will be established for all the cars.
The points will be attributed to each team according to the grid defined in article 9.2 of the French Historic Circuits Championship. There will be a classification of the crews and not of each driver. A driver will be able to appear twice if he competed with different crews and he will not accumulate points.
The points of this Challenge cannot be cumulated with those of the French Championship.

EVENT FORMATS
1 qualifying practice session of 30 minutes maximum.
1 race of 90 minutes with 2 compulsory stops at least:

- The first stop must be made between the 22nd and 38th minute of the race.
- The second stop must be made between the 52nd and 68th minute of the race.

Only during these stop windows: the cars will be able to go to the refueling area.

According to art. 7.5 of the standard regulations for asphalt circuits: Refueling is only possible in the dedicated area with a maximum distribution of 20L per stop. The distribution of fuel will be done only by the teams of the official supplier Sodifuel. These teams will be equipped with balaclavas, non-flammable gloves in accordance with FIA standards and FIA 86 standard overalls and protective glasses. The use of radios and cell phones is forbidden in the refueling area.

The zone will be dedicated exclusively to refueling. It will be forbidden to the public and only the officials, the security teams, the teams dedicated to refueling and the pilot will be able to access it. 2 pumps will be installed and it is possible that the competitor will have to wait for a pump to become available to be served.

Teams of 1 to 3 pilots are possible.
