The late 1970's and 80's were the golden years of the Tourism races, with several Tourism Championships flourishing across Europe, notably the European Tourism Championship endurance races. These races were very popular with the public with big flame spitting Touring cars led by Roberto Ravaglia, Steve Soper or Tom Walkinshaw between others.

The idea is to offer a new championship for more “modern” tourism racing cars, but always in the spirit of Historic Endurance, which stands for respect for opponents, a Gentlemen Driver attitude and the already famous 3 C's (No Crashing, No Cheating and No Complaining), in all the three events that will take place between Spain and Portugal.
