    PŘÍLOHA K PŘÍLOHA K 2019 Mezinárodních sportovních řádů Technické předpisy pro vozy účastnící se mezinárodních podniků historických vozů 1 PŘÍLOHA K 1. PRINCIPY A ZKRATKY 1.1 FIA koncipovala předpisy v Příloze K tak, aby bylo možno závodit s historickými automobily podle souboru pravidel, která umožňují zachovat specifikaci z období jejich výroby a která zabraňují změnit jejich výkon a vlastnosti použitím moderní technologie. Historické závody nejsou jednoduše jen jiná formule, v které lze získávat trofeje. Jsou zvláštní disciplínou, spojující sport s hlubokou úctou k těmto automobilům a k jejich historii. Sport historických automobilů umožňuje aktivně oslavovat automobilovou historii. 1.2 Tato příloha K platí pro všechny vozy, ať jsou to původní soutěžní vozy, vozy vyrobené přesně podle téže specifikace jako modely, jejichž soutěžní historie na mezinárodních podnicích je v souladu s mezinárodními pravidly příslušného období. Jediné povolené variace oproti specifikaci období jsou ty, které jsou povolené přílohou K. Vozy bez mezinárodní soutěžní historie, které ovšem mají soutěžní historii v podnicích národního mistrovství nebo jiných významných národních podnicích s ekvivalentním statutem, mohou být rovněž přijaty. Pokud se model ve svém období nezúčastnil mezinárodních závodů, musí být HMSC předložen HTP příslušných vozů s důkazem od příslušné ASN, že model má soutěžní historii z podniků národního významu. 1.3 Tato Příloha K musí být dodržována na všech podnicích historických vozů zapsaných do kalendáře FIA a pro všechny ostatní podniky historických vozů je doporučená. 1.4 Světová rada automobilového sportu FIA (WMSC) plně schválila aplikaci principu umožňujícího všem soutěžícím a vozům ve sportu historických automobilů soutěžit po celém světě při dodržení společných norem a předpisů.
