NKHTGT 2021: Celebrating 25 years!
NKHTGT celebrates its 25th anniversary with a free race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
2020 was a challenging year, a year we will never forget! But now is the time to look forward and it is with optimism and pride that NKHTGT presents an exciting calendar for the 2021 season. Not with the usual six events, but no less than seven events, on the most beautiful circuits in Europe. We will be running an evening race for the first time in our history and we are also offering the most track-time ever in our existence. And we offer this package for very attractive entry fees!
The 2021 season kicks off on April 16th , 17th and 18th in Germany, on a circuit where we have not raced in such a long time, the Hockenheimring. After the great success in September 2020, we will race in the Benelux Open Races at Zandvoort again, which will take place on June 4th and 5th . In this event we have two 61 minute races. Of course we will attend the Spa Summer Classic on June 25th and 26th, where we will have a 61 minute race on Saturday. In the Zandvoort and Spa events we share the grid with the Triumph Competitions. Three weeks later – on July 16th, 17th and 18th – we race at Circuit Zolder, where NKHTGT has not been since 2007, so it’s about time to go back. Then a fixed value in our calendar is the TT Circuit Assen, which we will visit on August 6th , 7th and 8th. And to celebrate our 25th anniversary in an appropriate way, we will head to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on September 3rd and 4th . As a support race in the Hankook 24H Series event, we will be racing the first evening race in the history of NKHTGT. We will see the late summer sun set on Friday evening during a 50 minute race, followed by a 30 minute race on Saturday. As an anniversary has to come with an anniversary gift, this great event is offered free for all entrants with an NKHTGT package deal 2021! If there is sufficient interest, we will organize transport of the race cars at cost price. We will close the 2021 season on October 8th , 9th and 10th with the Dijon Motors cup at the Dijon-Prenois circuit.
The 2021 package deal for the entire NKHTGT season costs € 3,250 and single entries will cost € 795 per event. These very competitive prices are partly made possible thanks to a generous contribution of our main sponsor Nolte Küchen.
Please note: a maximum of 45 package deals will be sold. Due to the maximum number of 32 NKHTGT participants in the Zandvoort event on June 4th and 5th, only the first 32 package / sponsor deals entrants registrants have a guaranteed starting place at that event. Of course we will do all that we can to accommodate everyone who wants to participate.
Unfortunately it is not inconceivable that events will be cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation. If that is the case, the paid registration fee will be refunded. See below for more information

A contribution of € 40 is payable for a second driver. A package or sponsor deal entry for the NKHTGT 2021 is personal and non-transferable.

With this deal you register for the NKHTGT 2021 and as a valuable bonus you also support the NKHTGT! The sponsor deal gives the right to mention the company name on our website and in as much additional publicity as possible. Of course other forms of sponsorship are possible and are more than welcome! If you want to discuss the possibilities, please contact Bert Mets (bert@nkhtgt.nl)
A maximum of 45 package deals will be sold. As mentioned, due to the maximum number of 32 NKHTGT participants in the Zandvoort event on June 4th and 5th , only the first 32 package / sponsor deals entrants are offered a guaranteed grid slot at that event. If you do purchase a package deal, but are late with your entry and payment, and not among the first 32 entrants, you will receive a refund of € 540 if there is no grid slot available for you during the Zandvoort event.
In the unfortunate event that an event is cancelled due to Covid-19 measures, or for any other reason, each package / sponsor deal entrant will receive a refund of € 540 per cancelled event. Single entry participants will receive their full entry fee back in case of cancellation of an event.

If the number of paid registrations exceeds the maximum of 45 on the closing date, the board will determine the order of acceptance of the registrations based on the number of registrants’ entries in the period 2016-2020. A registrant who is not eligible for a package / sponsor deal in the case the maximum number of registrations is exceeded, will be placed on the waiting list with priority for single entries in the events in which they wish to participate. If an already paid entry cannot be accepted by NKHTGT for whatever reason, the paid entry fee will be fully refunded.

What is the NKHTGT race series?
NKHTGT is an international race series for touring cars and GTs dating from the period 1947 to 1965. NKHTGT was founded in 1996 and has been organized by the NKHTGT club since 2005. Contrary to previous years, the races in 2021 do not count for any championship due to the uncertainty that the Covid-19 situation will also entail in 2021.
Authorized cars and mandatory tires
All cars in the NKHTGT must meet the requirements of FIA Appendix K and will have to come with a valid FIA Historic Technical Passport (HTP). Cars without a valid HTP may be accepted in an invitation class, at the discretion of the board, on the condition that the car meets all applicable safety requirements, dates from the period 1947 to 1965 and, in the opinion of the board, fits the atmosphere of the NKHTGT.
Dunlop Racing L or M section tires, compound 204, are mandatory for all competing cars, other tires are not allowed. M-section tires are only allowed on period F cars.
Authorized competitors
The minimum license requirement in 2021 is KNAF national / EU or an equivalent from a foreign ASN.
Regulations
The 2021 regulations are work in progress. As soon as these have been approved by the KNAF, the regulations will be published on www.nkhtgt.nl. The regulations will be almost identical to the 2020 regulations, which will be available on our website until the approval of the new regulations.
Don’t forget: order your Dunlop Racing tires on time!
Dunlop Racing tires are sufficiently available in all sizes but please allow some delivery time. HP Tyres (http://www.hptyres.com) is our loyal partner and preferred tyre supplier.
