HSCC, CSCC or HRDC?

My (very) late start into classic racing is gaining momentum. But I'm torn over which to go for. What are the big differences between them?
CSCC run series rather than any championships so in theory they are all stand alone races. if your not bothered about a championship then the racing is good, and most of the races are either 40 mins or 60 mins with a pit stop so you can share with another driver if you want.we've run a few cars with them and not had any issues.
What car do you have, or are thinking of getting?
CSCC allows some mods beyond period. This is criticised by the purists but can mean it's cheaper if originality is not crucial. You do have to have original engine type and induction though.
All the races are 40 mins with a pit stop for one or two drivers. This can mean it's goodvalue for money. The downside may be that the meetings are usually not as "high profile", whatever that means! There is good paddock atmosphere and camaraderie, though.
CSCC also has a number of other series to a similar 40 min formula so you could race something from the 1970s, 80s, 90s or more recent if you wish, mostlyin there own decade related series.

If the car is old enough, Equipe GTS is another series to throw into consideration.
Some people either don't want to or can't commit to one championship or series, so have the car prepared to a level so the car is eligible for each series, and cherry pick the events they like the sound of that their diary / budget allows them to do. Many series offer guest membership as well.
The CSCC apart from App. K has the least stringent technical regs compared to HSCC and others but it does mean that the quick cars are highly developed.

Here's a link to next years calendar for Equipe GTS. Race on same program as the champs I do. Some of the nicest cars in any paddock at these meetings...DB4 lightweights, E type lightweights, etc. Stunning and a super-friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a look.

I am also very late into Histeric racing , currently building an A35 , either Acadamy spec or Speedwell
Have spent time with the HRDC chaps and there is a good spirit in the paddock and a massive respect on track .
Bearing in mind the speed differentials the races are great to both watch and drive in
At Snetterton you had the sight of an A35 racing a massive old Jag
