ABOUT MASTERS HISTORIC RACING



Established in 2004 with its trademark Formula One Series, Masters is now one of the leading organizers and promoters of International historic motor racing. Based in the UK and North America with a dedicated team, Masters aims to provide customers with great racing at superb circuits with a wonderful atmosphere.

Key to Masters' ethos is to provide as much track time as possible for drivers and so most categories will race twice or have a longer pit stop race. With a weekend full of action, Masters competitors can race many different cars across the timetable and then enjoy the excellent hospitality and camaraderie off-track.
