It's no surprise that historic racing often relies on traditional techniques. Even with the increasing level of competition, some old crafts, such as fabricating and panel beating, remain crucial. But modern approaches can also play an important role.

KW Heritage, which was officially launched in 2018, is the classic vehicle engineering division of high-performance engineering company KW Special Projects. It aims to use cutting-edge technology to help restore and maintain historic machinery and has already been involved in several motorsport projects.
