Touring Car Icons Reunited | Heritage Touring Cup 1 | Spa Classic by Peter Auto Le Mans Classic

Before modern touring cars, there was a golden age — louder, tougher, and fiercely competitive. The Heritage Touring Cup celebrates one of motorsport’s most thrilling chapters — the golden era of the European Touring Car Championship. Between 1966 and 1981, saloon racing reached its peak. Packed grids, factory-backed teams and fierce rivalries defined a generation, with the Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours standing as the ultimate battleground. It became the proving ground for the world’s greatest manufacturers and drivers. Today, that spirit lives on through historic racing series across Europe — including Peter Auto’s renowned events such as Le Mans Classic — where these iconic machines are preserved, raced, and celebrated in period-correct competition. At the heart of this story sits BMW. A constant presence across decades, the Munich marque fielded everything from the 1800 Ti of the 1960s to the iconic M3 — ultimately claiming a record 21 victories at Spa. But it wasn’t without a fight. Alfa Romeo’s nimble GTAs and GTVs, the brute force of Ford Mustangs and Capri RSs, the precision of Mercedes-Benz, and the unmistakable character of Mazda RX-7s and Jaguar XJSs all took their turn at the top. This is touring car racing at its finest — competitive, diverse, and unforgettable.
