Malaise Era Touring Car Series Launches In Europe

While us Yanks had to suffered the Malaise Era with neutered V8s, Europe enjoyed more powerful and exciting touring cars, which will be celebrated in a new vintage racing series. It's Europe-only, but "selected cars" from America will be invited.

The JD Classics Challenge launches next year during the Donington Historic Festival, and all Group A and Group 1 and 2 cars from the years 1977-198 are welcome. This means Audi Coupes battling it out with Ford Sierras and BMW 528s. Hell, maybe even a Starion will show up.
