Jaguar Launches New Historic Racing Series For 2015
Own a particular, race-ready Jaguar from the mid-1960s or earlier? The English brand is preparing a racing series just for you.
Dubbed the Jaguar Heritage Challenge, the five-race historic series will begin its first season next year, and is open to XK, C-Type, D-Type, pre-1966 E-Type, MK I and MK II models. Per Jaguar Land Rover Heritage Business Director Derek Weale, the race series further boosts Jaguar’s presence on the heritage racing scene, which includes famed events like the Mille Miglia and Goodwood Revival.
Operated by the Silverstone, England-based Historic Sports Car Club, the Jaguar Heritage Classic will hold four of its five races in the U.K. in 2015, with the remaining race held somewhere in Continental Europe. Dates, classes and venues are expected to come in the near future.

The motto of this series must logically be: "To finish first, first you have to finish!"
Pretty precious metal for a race series. though, we do see a few in the Portland Historic's and the Loop's hill climb.
Marketing genius. Is there a better excuse for racing involvement than the current Jag working to tie its name to these memorable machines? Plus, any racing support is a good thing for us, the B&B.
