The FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship is a championship that has old Formula One cars from "the golden era", which caters for 3 litre engine Formula 1 cars from 1966 to 1985.

The series grew out of the Grand Prix Masters series, which was an alternative to the FIA Thoroughbred GP car championship. With entries falling in TGP and healthier grid being seen at Grand Prix Masters, the FIA awarded Masters Historic Racing the rights to promote the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship from 2013 to the present day.

Masters Historic Racing is a UK based organisation, headed by race and entrepreneur Ron Maydon, which also operates a number of other historic race categories.

  • Cars using Cosworth DFV engines must have an engine limiter of 10,000 rpm
  • All drivers must be presented with a current FIA Historic Technical Passport and be presented in that specification.
  • All drivers must be in possession of an International level racing licence.
  • Cars must be classed into the following categories in order to enter a race:
  • Jackie Stewart class: Formula One cars built and raced prior to 31 December 1972
  • Emerson Fittipaldi class: Post–1972, non-ground effect Formula One cars
  • Patrick Head class: Post–1972, ground effect Formula One cars

  • Characteristics of events:

  • At the end of the championship, there will be two winners:
