2012 Catalunya Classic Revival
The Masters race series moves to Spain over the weekend 20-22 April for the Espiritu De Montjuic, also known as the Catalunya Classic Revival, and offers Spanish enthusiasts a full timetable of historic racing, including Masters F1, Masters World Sportscars, 70s Masters, Masters Pre-66, CanAm Interserie Challenge and Gentlemen Drivers Pre-66 GTs. This is supported by ICGP Classic Motor GP and a round of the exciting Renault Clio Cup.
Friday is given over to practice (entrenamientos privados) while official qualifying takes place on Saturday morning. The first 25-minute GP Masters F1 race begins at 14:25 with the absorbing 2-hour endurance epic for Gentlemen Drivers Pre-66 GTs starting a little later, at 17:25 and running on into the early evening.
Sunday promises a magnificent day of spectator entertainment, both on and off track, with a full day of racing only interrupted by a lunchtime air display and the Ferrari F40 celebration. The Renault Clio Cup gets things underway at 09:00 followed by 70s Masters and Masters Pre-66 Touring Cars, a one-hour two-driver race. Part One of The CanAm Interserie begins at 11:45 and then, the one-hour epic for World Sportscar Masters brings the morning to a close. The afternoon includes GP Masters, CanAm Interserie, ICGP Motor GP and the final of the Renault Clio Cup.
The current weather forecast for the weekend is sunshine and showers and 22 degrees.
