Membership
Joining The HGPCA
From an initial 75 members, the HGPCA has developed a membership that often exceeds 350. Being “The International Association for Owners and Drivers of Historic Grand Prix Cars”, membership not only exists for owners, but also for enthusiasts interested in the stewardship of these fine cars from such a rich period of motor racing history. The racing season begins this year at Silverstone in April with opportunities for members not invited to race at specific meetings to join us for lunch at the HGPCA base – the Red Truck – we are often able to provide tickets to non-racers or arrange a discount on the general admission prices.
