About FISCAR

Prior to the founding of FISCAR in 2011, most of the historic marques that competed in the fifties had their own well established clubs. However, co-ordinating activities to attain really good grids of compatible and suitably competitive cars had proved to be somewhat difficult!

Since writing the above, many years ago, opportunities for these cars to race on their own grids at club level has been much reduced, making FISCAR ever more relevant.

The Fifties Sports Car Racing Club is not a substitute for those individual single marque clubs, but was established to complement their activities and pull all the strands together. The Team Racing concept, developed successfully over the last few years by founder member, Mark Campbell, continues as a cornerstone of our ‘mission’. Index of Performance, and more recently the addition of a class structure, means that members have the opportunity to win awards whatever their position on the grid.

Many other series cater for cars of this period, but they also tend to include cars from the 1960s, or include cars that have “Out of Period modifications” . The Fifties Sports Car Racing Club series is primarily for GT and production cars that raced in period and are still prepared as closely as is feasibly possible to the same specifications. Our cars race on the appropriate available rubber and endeavour to appear as close as possible to the way they were in period.

We host races at some of the leading Club racing events in the UK calendar, notably with the VSCC, the hugely popular Castle Combe Autumn Classic and the Annual BDC meeting at Silverstone, and more recently the Thruxton Historics.

In conjunction with the ‘Team Captains’ of the various marques, we have drawn up a list of ‘eligible cars’. Go to the "Series Info/eligible cars" section to see the list, or to "Join Us" for a membership application form.
