Chatting with our local HTP scrutineer Saturday evening at a prizegiving.Was informed of the current turmoil caused by htp's five year expiration.
Lot's of people complaining about HTPs being withdrawn on previously granted vehicals.MGBs being targeted on use of four sync boxes (I had been warned this 'was on the cards' four years ago-hence my new three sync project) Even Alan Tice's Marcos-Spa class winner-Oldtimers champion2014, is having problems.And that being possibly one of the most compliant cars racing-what chance do the others who have been waiting for months already, have of getting thier new papers before season start?
I think the OP has a very long uphill struggle with his task.
Annoying thing is that as most/all Sports car or Saloon racing (historic) is not FIA sanctioned, why do you need this expensive waste of money in the first place.Raced my B at the six hour for three consecutive years without showing my papers, first year Jeremy Hall inspected the car."Its ok, I know the car and driver, it does conform". Rather nice I thought.

Exactly.
If everyone just said stuff it to the Fia and raced their cars in non Fia sanctioned meetings we would soon see a dramatic change of course by the Fia. Perhaps this is what the organising clubs should look to do. I would think that international non sanctioned events ran by the local countries organising clubs could cash in on a very lucrative market. In my opinion the FIA is taking cars away from what they were in period not the other way around!

I agree. The requirement for us all to get new papers is just a money making exercise for Messr Todt. Given the backlog and the fact many will not apply for renewal until a championship or event demands them, I think many organisers will move to 'appendix K' compliant or face reduced grids.

The daft thing is, in most cases papers are not inspected and eligibility scrutineering is a joke. 3 synchro boxes in MGBs eh Terry? Well you put one in for the inspection and swap back the next day......just like all the other questionable bits.

Nevertheless I can't see an M series getting any sort of HTP in a month of Sundays

There are anomalies, depends where you are. On another thread I comment about a Mk 1 Grantura which is being offered for sale with a full HTP in Italy. I sold it because the MSA were not happy that it had discs and rack and pinion steering. It had a B chassis number when in my possession, it now has a C. That is before we start on the body shape!

For what ever it's worth, (perhaps to other danish guys)

I got my natinal homologation (class FS) for the modified M. The FS class is something between the road car category and the rally classes, that enable the car to compete in hillclimbs, rally sprints, and club rallies.

Cool well done... I'm in the process of getting mine through the Spanish system....FS class is interesting.... have to look that one up. :-)
