Top Hat
Top Hat is a 1-hour race series for pre-1965 Group 2-style historic touring cars. As Julius Thurgood's original race series, Top Hat helped establish historic endurance racing in the UK. With foreign rounds at Chimay and Spa during 2003 the series looks set to improve on the high standards set in previous years

A traditional 1-hour race with optional driver changes, Top Hat allows drivers to share races with co-owners, partners or invited guests. The camaraderie and good-natured competition within Top Hat belies the fiercely competitive nature of the racing, but when the chequered flag falls the paddock is as friendly a place as you'll find anywhere in motorsport

Top Hat race dates 2003:
  • Goodwood (UK) 22 March (Top Hat Track Day)
  • Donington Park (UK) 12 April (Top Hat Race Day)
  • Donington Park (UK) 4/5 May (Top Hat Historic Festival)
  • Chimay (France) 4/6 July (Historycar Historic Festival)
  • Spa (Belgium) 12/14 September
  • Mallory Park (UK) 5 October (Top Hat Historic Race Day)
