Just a tad too late to enter,....
I got the entry forms for the 1975 8-hour Nurburgring amateur enduro. from a friend in today's mail.
Lord it's a funny read. Apparently it's illegal to spit out the window at officials as you pass by. This race was hosted by Scuderia Blau-weiss (The Blue & White stable), a BMW club,... so that might explain the anti-spitting rule.
The cars were classed into four groups.
1) production cars 850cc-2000+cc in 7 classes
2) special touring cars 850cc-3000+ in 8 classes
3) grand touring cars 1600cc and up
4) special grand touring cars 1600 and up
Absolutely no definition of what makes a car a grand tourer as opposed to special tourer or production car. No yard stick whatsoever for you to class your car prior to showing up for the race beyond it's displacement.
Yikes! Kinda makes ya greatfull for our classification / points system.

1975 = open face helmet...
... and remember it was less than 10 years after Jackie Stewart was the first to start wearing a safety harness. It wasn't until the late sixties that anyone in an open car started wearing belts of any kind (most drivers prefered to be thrown clear of the wreck). Oh brother, I'm showing my age now!
