Typically, it has been the more exotic car models that have entered historic motor racing, but it doesn't have to be that way. C1 Scandinavia is motorsport's latest initiative where used cars are used. Not as recycling, but as upcycling. In other words, where used or discarded street cars are transformed into racing cars!
The recipe for a racing car for C1 Scandinavia is very similar to a baking recipe.
You will find a copy of the first generation of the Citroën C1 / Peugeot 107 microcar, which was in production from 2005 to 2014. Its life on the road has expired, but it is instead being given a new life on the racetrack.
The fabric seats are removed. Instead, the cabin is equipped with a safety cage, a racing seat and six-point harnesses, while other racing shock absorbers and springs are also being installed.
It's motorsport's answer to upcycling. And the recipe for C1 Scandinavia.
The class has drawn its inspiration from abroad, where, among other things, 24-hour races are run with the model on the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
It's not about top speed in the class. It's about having fun, and that's exactly what the participants in C1 Scandinavia feel when they race down Vognmagervej and wait until the last moment to brake before the right turn onto Industrivej.
It's thunder and bang that we present in this class. The Special Saloon class offers some of the most potent and impressive cars at Classic Race Viborg.
These are cars not just from the top drawer, but also the most impactful drawer.
The class began in 1974, when skilled mechanics and home tuners transformed a Ford Escort into a speeding missile. Porsche's legendary 911 model then fell victim to the participants' improvements, before prototypes and tube-frame cars were created, which can still be seen in the class.
The main emphasis of the cars in the Special Saloon class today is on GT cars, with models like the Porsche 91 GT3 Cup and Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo models setting the pace.

Today, microcars have become a concept, even though the cars are only small compared to the other new cars found on the street. Because if you really want to talk about microcars, you have to look at the cars that can be experienced in the small 71 class.
These were the cars that many Danish families in the late 60s acquired from brand new. After several years of driving in a used car from the 50s. Now the summer holiday trip to Lake Garda went with all family members packed into the car, while dad on the German autobahn or Italian autostrada dreamed of a more powerful version of the family car. Because they existed.
Every major European car manufacturer had a collaboration with a tuner that could work magic.
The BMC group had Cooper, who transformed the Austin Partner and Morris Mascot models into rockets. Alan Frazer got the best out of the stern-engined Imp models, which were sold under the Sunbeam and Hillman names, while Italian-Austrian Carlo Abarth provided tuning kits for Fiat's 600 and 1000 models. Finally, Siegfried Spiess could also create miracles with an NSU 1000 TT.
These are the cars you can experience in the small 71 class at Classic Race Viborg.

For the 2026 edition of Classic Race Viborg, you will experience a new constellation on a Danish race track. But a constellation that could be experienced more than 40 years ago on streets and highways at home and abroad.
We have chosen to combine the large 71 class with the 81 class, so that the participants in the cars and the spectators on the stands get some good racing. Even though the cars in the two classes cover more than a decade, they have many things in common.
We will be able to present several generations of top-tuned standard cars from leading manufacturers such as BMW and Ford, with a number of goodies from, for example, Volkswagen and Alfa Romeo.
Some of the cars – such as the BMW 2002tii and Ford Escort Mk I TwinCam – are quite powerful in their own right, and will easily challenge the newer models to a dance. And not least to a race.
There will be a struggle between the generations.

The 90s brought new car models and new classes to the racetracks. These were cars that, in their own way, created a new era that has now become historic, and where racing cars today stand as modern icons.
That's why we will pay tribute to them at Classic Race Viborg.
Let's take two concrete examples from the field. BMW M3 E30 and Porsche 996.
The BMW M3 E30 created completely new principles for how a standard car from the factory could be race-ready. A body based on the well-known 320i model was literally improved and reinforced at every turn and edge, so that it could not only be used as a boulevard racer, but even more so that private drivers and teams could prepare it for racing use. Among other things, because it was equipped with a four-cylinder in-line engine, from which not only the factory's motorsport department, but also private tuners could get a lot of horsepower.
The Porsche 996 may seem exotic, but it was actually a sports car that was mass-produced. Around 175,000 copies, most of which were used on the roads, but racing versions such as the 996 GT3 Cup version found their way to the racetracks. And now also to the asphalt roads that we use at Classic Race Viborg.

The historical story at Classic Race Viborg starts with the 65 class, where you will find the oldest racing cars at the event.
The field includes sports cars such as Christian Hope's Lotus Elan and Peter Iversen's Porsche 356, which were destined for a life on the racetrack from the very beginning.
But the majority of the cars are modified standard cars, because that's how it was with most of the motorsport in the first half of the 60s. They were everyday cars, where tape was put over the headlights, starting numbers were painted on the door sides, while the enamel number plates were unscrewed from the car.
During the Swinging Sixties, more sporty models began to appear, which very naturally found their way to the racetracks.
The two Formula 1 teams Cooper and Lotus thus gave more than a helping hand on the way to the development of the Austin Cooper and Ford Lotus Cortina models, which won many victories at the time – and still do.
The cars in the 65 class must follow the technical regulations of the time in their construction. This also means that the class uses narrow, patterned tires, which guarantees skidding and wide driving through the corners.

In two years, one of the most iconic sports cars in automotive history will celebrate its 70th birthday; the Lotus Seven. But it will be a different anniversary that we celebrate at Classic Race Viborg. It is the 25th anniversary on Danish soil for the racing class, where the cars are based on the very car model that saw the light of day in 1957.
It was designed by Colin Chapman, who later was behind Formula 1 icons such as the Lotus 25, 49, 72 and 79. ”Make it simple and add lightness,” was his mantra, and he did so to a great extent with the car that now forms the basis of the cars in the Super Seven field at Classic Race Viborg.
Where Ford engines powered the Lotus Seven model back then, engines from Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha are now the powertrain, and since these are motorcycle engines – which are also built to be light and efficient – they are well in line with Colin Chapman's thoughts on the design.

If you were present at the premiere edition of Classic Race Viborg, you will surely remember the drama on Vognmagervej and the subsequent congestion as the field in the Legend Car class had to go through the first turn and onto Industrivej.
It was exciting to say the least.
That will be the case this year as well.
We have once again invited the participants in the country's largest class (measured by number of participants) in the country's smallest racing cars (measured by their size) to participate in this year's Classic Race Viborg.
These are fun and entertaining racing cars that look like scaled-down versions of Ford's and Chevrolet's most popular models from the 1930s.
But appearances are deceiving.
Beneath the fiberglass hides a tubular frame chassis, a motorcycle engine with accompanying gearbox, and four patterned tires that protrude from the fenders by half a hand's width.
The race does not count towards the class championship.
In return, at Classic Race Viborg we can name an unofficial street champion in Denmark's most fun racing class.

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.
The Youngtimer field at Classic Race Viborg also includes several drivers who normally compete in other classes.
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...

There is a tradition of fighting to the end in the Super GT class. This was seen at the premiere of Classic Race Viborg, and it will certainly also happen at the 2026 edition of the street race.
Classic Race Viborg has invited the country's best drivers to give it their all in the cathedral city, and for one driver, the race will be quite special. It's Martin Andersen.
Not only is he from Viborg, he is also the defending champion in the Super GT class. And he is probably the driver in the field who best knows the roads that make up the street circuit at Classic Race Viborg.
For almost 30 years, father Ole has run Viborg Autoteknik at Industrivej 11, right by turn 6, where Martin naturally spent many hours in his youth. And he has naturally helped his son on his way through his career, which now includes three Super GT titles in addition to a German TCR title.
The registered Super GT cars will race together with the Special Saloon Car field.
