La CARRERA PANAMERICANA XIII

(1950 through 1954)

This event overlaps with 1950’s Endurance Sportscar (50SP) and 1950’s Endurance Sportscar Plus (50SP+) but limits models to those that participated in the 1950 through 1954 editions of La Carrera Panamericana. Eligible participants include models that finished, started, practiced or were at minimum registered to race.

For this event every model competed as either a low power motor entry (50SP) or an open motor entry (50SP+):

  • 50SP – Low power motor (BWNC1, Ninco NC1, BWMS050 or Vanski); or
  • 50SP+ – Any motor whether open or sealed.

In addition, every model would be entered under one of nine sub-classes as they had raced in the Carrera:

T (Tourismo)SP (Sport)
T – Tourismo (’50, ’51, ’52, ’53)SP – Sport (‘52)
TS – Tourismo Especial (’53, ’54)SP+16 – Sport +1600cc (’53)
T+3.5 – Tourismo +3500cc (’54)SP16 – Sport 1600cc (’53)
TE1.9 – Tourismo Europeo (’54)SP+15 – Sport +1500cc (’54)
