The Jaguar Heritage Challenge


A superb new race series for all models of pre ’66 Jaguars will run with the Historic Sports Car Club in 2015. The series will be contested across five weekends at some of the best drivers’ circuits in the UK and Europe.  The challenge will be open to the XK Series, C and D-types, MK I and MK II saloons and pre ’66 E-types, thus ensuring big and varied grids of period Jaguar’s running to original specification.
The Heritage Challenge marks the first time such a diverse group of historic competition Jaguars will be assembled as part of a race series. The Heritage Challenge Series builds on the success of the E-type Challenge that ran for a number of seasons.

Jaguar and the Historic Sports Car Club have announced further details of the series, including event dates, classes, eligible cars and entrants, which can all be found here.

Derek Weale, Jaguar Land Rover Heritage Business Director, said: "We are delighted that our new Heritage Race series will take place at some of the best drivers' circuits in Europe and at world-famous historic race meetings. The spectacle of seeing a race dedicated to these classic Jaguars, on these circuits and at these events is going to be a sight to savour and behold."

Graham White, CEO of the HSCC, said: "A single-marque racing series like the Jaguar Heritage Challenge is a great addition to our racing calendar and I can't wait to see some of the finest racing Jaguars of the past lining up on the grid at Donington in May."
