HSCC reveals
Dunlop Saloon Car Cup schedule
We are thrilled to share todays Press Release from the HSCC.
The Historic Sports Car Club has announced the 2020 schedule for the Dunlop Saloon Car Cup, which includes a trip to the spectacular Knockhill circuit in Scotland to headline the SMRC “Best of Scottish Saloon Car Festival” weekend.
The
calendar will focus on four double-header events at prime UK tracks, giving
eight races at very competitive entry fees. The season starts on the
Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in May and also includes Donington Park and the
Oulton Park Gold Cup in a nicely-spaced calendar.
The
Knockhill date will take competitors to a track steeped in touring car racing
history and a warm welcome is assured at this high-profile event in the
Scottish racing calendar. The race weekend will feature a strong element of
competition for saloon and touring cars. A number of DSCC racers are based in
Scotland, including regular pacesetter Stewart Whyte in his superb ex-Tom
Kristensen Super Touring Honda Accord.
The
series covers three distinct groups of saloon and touring cars from 1970 right
through to 2006: Group 1, Group A and Super Touring/S2000. All three groups
have a dedicated podium after each race and a total of 40 drivers raced within
the DSCC in 2019.
The
2020 dates for the Dunlop Saloon Car Cup are:
17/18
May: Silverstone GP (International Trophy)
6/7
June: Donington Park
4/5
July: Knockhill (Best of Scottish Saloon Car Festival)

Andy
Dee-Crowne, CEO of the HSCC, said: “The Dunlop Saloon Car Cup had an excellent
debut season in 2019 and we are aiming to build on that as we grow the series
further. Adding Knockhill to the schedule adds a new dimension to the season
and offers our loyal Scottish racers a home event. I’m sure everyone will get a
very warm welcome north of the border.”
