Participant

When you see Lasse Bay Skovsgaard in his black Mercedes 190E fighting against the somewhat smaller, orange Peugeot 106, which Ole Knudsen is participating in, it almost looks like a duel that has been decided in advance. 

But that's not the case in the Youngtimer class. Appearances can be deceiving – and often are. This is due to the special regulations around which the class is built. 

The cars in the Youngtimer class are popularly referred to as the youngest of the oldest. Here, cars that were in production before January 1, 2007, can participate, but they do not have to follow the detailed technical regulations of the time. 

Instead, the rules are based on weight/power ratios. The heaviest cars – those weighing more than 7.4 kg per hp – are in Division 3. In Division 2, we have cars with between 6.4 and 7.4 kg per hp, while the lightest cars are in Division 1. Finally, there is the Super Division for special models. 

It makes for a good race, and therefore you will definitely be able to experience situations where David beats Goliath on Classic Race Viborg's street course. 

Take Erik H. Madsen's metallic blue Mini Cooper, for example. Although it is somewhat larger compared to its design origins from 1959, it is not as large as the BMW models that dominate Division 1. Nevertheless, thanks to its somewhat lower weight, it can compete with the other models from the car group that now owns the Mini brand. 

Youngtimer-feltet ved Classic Race Viborg tæller også flere kørere, som normalt slår deres folder i andre klasser. 

The brothers Mirel and Mirza Lovic have brought the Suzuki Swift 1600 models that they have previously used to give their competitors rear wheels in the 1600 Challenge class, while Benny Kristensen from Løvel is also starting in his BMW. 

When he doesn't give it the gas in his yellow NSU in the 71 class...
