A new organisation dedicated to promoting the interests of organisers and drivers involved in historic circuit racing has been launched. The Historic Motorsport Association (HMA) aims to preserve the rich legacy of motorsport while fostering the sense of community that is one of the unique features of the sport in its historic form.
Established by a coalition of motorsport enthusiasts and professionals, including event organisers, drivers and preparers committed to ensuring that the world of historic racing continues to thrive and grow, the association seeks to provide a forum for discussion and consensus and to speak with a unified voice for its members, as well as to promote the historical significance of motorsport.
“Historic motorsport is more than just racing, it’s a celebration of the cars and the history of the sport,” remarked HMA founding members Patrick Peter and Carol Spagg, both racers themselves and race organisers. “Through the Historic Motorsport Association, we aim to create a supportive environment that allows organisers and drivers to share their views and expertise, ensuring that this aspect of motorsport continues to thrive for generations to come.”
Amongst the aims of the new Association is to represent the interests of members to regulatory bodies and promote fair policies that support historic racing. “We would also like to organise events, such as seminars, discussion groups, prizegivings and opportunities to network and share knowledge and best practice,” said the founders.
They are inviting all interested parties – drivers, teams, organisers, and enthusiasts – to join this new association by emailing info@historicassociation.com.
