The concept of this category is to have true to scale pre & including 1969 Formula Cars racing.
The object is to have the cars looking as much to scale as possible with an emphasis on appearance which includes the
dimensions of wheels & tyres as well as race results.

- Any 1:24 true to scale vacuum formed Lexan, PET, resin or hard plastic Formula car body representing Formula Cars up to and including 1969.
- Cut out & mounting of body has to reflect actual 1:1 car
- The presentation of body (paint design, decals and additional detail pars) has to be as realistic as possible to a 1:1 car of this time.
- Minimum 2 piece driver interior (vacuum formed or hard plastic driver body plus separate drivers head) to be used.
- Interior has to cover all windows & open cockpits. No chassis parts are allowed to be visible through cockpit or windows.
