He added the ex-Tony Shelly Lotus-Climax 18\/21 \u2018P1\u2019 Formula 1 and Tasman Cup contender to his stable in 2007 and has won numerous HGPCA races in the car which is prepared by renowned motor engineer Andrew Tart.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOne of the qualities I would stress about the HGPCA is that it is different from other historic race organisers,\u201d says Horsman, who previously served in the role of Treasurer. \u201cMembers share a passion for their cars which is far more important than their passion for winning, which means that we do not wish for the cars to be developed to the \u2018nth\u2019 degree or be driven by professional drivers. We wish to respect history, albeit in the modern world. It\u2019s a privilege to race alongside some of the world\u2019s most iconic Grand Prix cars. We visit Europe\u2019s best circuits and events to celebrate this by having fun on the circuit and often afterwards at dinners with our partners.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe HGPCA is not a profit-motivated business, it runs a series of stand-alone races, not a championship, for invited competitors. We are and must remain a financially stable entity and if we make a profit in excess of our needs we will return it to our members.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cRunning the Association in today\u2019s world is challenging of course, but we take comfort that our style of racing seems to encourage younger new members as well as those of us who are older. The Association\u2019s Board and Members are committed to doing just that.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>For further information please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hgpca.net\/\">www.hgpca.net<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Horsman has been appointed Chairman of the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association (HGPCA) with immediate effect.
