VHRS
French vehicle category: Véhicules Historiques de Régularité Sportive – historic cars eligible for regularity rallies.
VHRS stands for Véhicules Historiques de Régularité Sportive and is a category of the French motor sport federation, the FFSA. It covers historic cars eligible for regularity rallies – the French régularité.
The distinction is typically French: VHC (Véhicules Historiques de Compétition) denotes cars for historic best-time competition, whereas VHRS covers the cars of the regularity discipline. The requirements for a VHRS car are correspondingly lower – what matters here is taking part in régularité events, not fighting for lap times.
Anyone entering a historic regularity rally in France will meet this category regularly in the supplementary regulations. There, the scored regularity section is called a zone de régularité (ZR).
