Morgans Racing at Zandvoort

The Historische Auto Ren Club (HARC) in The Netherlands organizes a race weekend at Circuit Zandvoort on September 12 and 13th, 2009.

That weekend there will be races (GP Circuit) of a few series: the Nederlands Kampioenschap Toerwagens & GT’s (NKHTGT), Youngtimer Touring Car Championship (YTCC), MG/Triumph Competitions, “Equipe” GTS (UK) and Porsche Basic Cup. Besides we will give attention to the Morgan Centenary. The Dutch Morgan distributor NIMAG, the Dutch Morgan Sports Car Club and their main sponsor Kuiper Verzekeringen will show in the paddock a presentation of the brand, the cars and the lifestyle of Morgan drivers.

This year there will be no Morgan Only race at Zandvoort like in 2006 due to the busy schedule of Morgan drivers in this Centenary year but there will be opportunities to enter a serie as a guest driver:
- NKHTGT for pre 1966 cars with Dunlop Racing tyres.
- Youngtimers for cars from 1966 until 1981 (and younger by invitation or after consultation).
- MG/Triumph Competitions with of course lots of MGB's and TR's and no strict age limit in the class Other Makes and tyres with standard profile and a minimum 70/100 aspect ratio.
- "Equipe" GTS for pre 1966 four cilinder Sport & GT’s with Dunlop Racing or road tyres with a minimum 70/100 aspect ratio.

The race format for each serie is different and also the entry fee:
- NKHTGT: Free Practice 25 min on Friday, Qualifying 25 min of Saturday, Race (1) of 25 min+1 lap on Saturday and Race (2) of 25 min+1 lap on Sunday; entry fee 600 Euro.
- YTCC: Free Practice of 20 min and Qualifying of 20 min on Saturday and two Races (1 & 2) of 30 min on Sunday; entry fee 450 Euro.

The Friday before the race weekend, September 11th, the HARC organizes a trackday at Zandvoort.

Every group get three sessions of about 25 min; entry fee for non HARC members is 120 euro. Reservations are recommended.
