In 1983, the Fahrergemeinschaft Historischer Rennsport (FHR) was founded in Haiger by a dedicated group of active motorsport enthusiasts. In the following years, historical motorsport has contributed significantly and made it more and more popular over the years. “From driver to driver” – this preamble to the FHR is a key principle for our work. In no other branch of motorsport is there such a direct influence of the active on their sport – not least thanks to the efforts of the FHR over the past two decades.

The FHR now includes the majority of active drivers who play sports with historic automobiles. More than 700 members document the importance of this driver community also to organizers and institutions. Since 30 November 2000, the FHR has been organised under the umbrella of the ADAC North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition, she is represented by associations and organizers in important committees of the German Motorsport Federation (DMSB), the ADAC.

Under the auspices of the FHR, racing series are organised in accordance with Annex K of the FIA’s International Motorsport Regulations. Here, basics are defined that guarantee a fair race and do not turn a historic racing car into a modern one. This has proved its worth in the past, ensuring that these races remain a feast for spectators and that vehicles are preserved in their original form and technique.
