Welcome: the 'extra' website for 1000cc Formula 3 as run by the Historic Sports Car Club.   This website is purely to support our series and is produced by a HSCC racing member with the support of the Chairman of the Series.   Average number of unique visitors per month since we started is over 1000, keep coming back! This website is for you the competitor, helper or spectator; if you have anything to contribute then get in touch.

There are no membership forms or fees, no need to supply your details - all you need is an interest in 1000cc Formula 3 for any reseaon at all.

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT

Our aim is to provide a forum for F3 cars raced between 1/1/1964 and 31/12/1970, the cars known as the 'screamers'. We will provide additional information and services to that already provided by the Club and several other organisations; it is not a replacement for the HSCC Club website, it is an extra. All areas of the website will be open to Club members and non-members, to maintain and grow the following for these remarkable cars and the owners, drivers and numerous supporters involved with them.

For absolute confirmation of regulations, dates and venues always check with the Historic Sports Car Club website on www.hscc.org.uk

These cars currently race in the UK in the HSCC Classic Racing Cars series, Class D, at most of the best known and loved circuits, plus meetings abroad.  (Click here for the 2010 Classic Racing Car Regulations)

The cars also run in Europe in the Historic F3 1000cc European Trophy at superb circuits such as Magny-Cours, Spa, Nurburgring, and Dijon (click here for their website). The HSCC work closely with this organisation and arrange meetings with entries from both Clubs.

Several years ago the Peter Hanson Trophy was revived and in 2009 was staged over 3 rounds, encouraging even more cars onto grids, with a significant number of European competitors. The Trophy is open to all eligible 1000cc F3 cars and runs alongside the HSCC Classic Racing Cars Championship.

For 2010, the exciting news was the inclusion of a 1000cc race at Historic Monaco, run two weeks before the annual Formula One weekend. Read nore about this event on the NEWS page.

Following the disappointing news that 1000cc F3 would not be included in the 2012 event we can now confirm that our cars are definitely racing in the 2014 Historic Monaco

A huge thank you for the efforts over a number of years to Chris Sharples and David Pullen of the HSCC, plus many others such as Francois Derossi, Geoffroy Rivet, Simon Hadfield, Rene Ligonet, Keith Messer for their efforts in convincing the Monaco organisers that 1000cc F3 deserved to be there. The story really began with David Pullen and Richard Urwin in the early 90s talking to the embryonic European Trophy organisers who subsequently decided to adopt the Technical Regulations already put into effect by the HSCC: without those early steps and the huge support from those two plus a small number of other regular drivers the class may have disappeared as could the European Trophy series.
