Under 2-Liter Sports Racer

Two-liter sports racing cars have always had a place to compete within the ever-changing regulations of international motorsports; the World Sports Car Championship from 1953-1961, the Speedworld Challenge from 1962-1963, the International Championship of Makes from 1964-1971 and the World Championship of Makes from 1972-1981. There was even a European Championship of Makes for cars up to two liters from 1970-1975. This allowed manufacturers to showcase their design and engineering excellence by producing a limited number of purpose-built racing cars to compete at the world’s greatest racing venues. There was great racing in the under 2.0-liter class.  On the right circuit, these nimble cars could often get the best of their larger competitors. A World Championship of Makes with race circuits such as Silverstone, the Nürburgring, Le Mans, Monza, Daytona and Sebring resulted in an era of motorsports that may never happen again.  Today, these historic cars are highly sought after by collectors, not just for the admiration of their technology, but also to participate in reenactments of these famous racing events.
