We also have NASCAR running in Melbourne on an oval  - they use road
courses to make up a series travelling to each state.

The cars are not old enough and in sufficient quantity to run a historic
series.  I think those chassis that survive a season are simply updated
with a new body and half the field us 5 years old or older!

The Melbourne oval does not have a track licence for historic vehicles at=

present and if we wanted to do a Brooklands re-enactment we would need to=

convince them that older cars ... mainly built for road courses ... could=

run safely in an oval environment.

Any precedent for this in North America would be helpful.
