History[]

The series was created in 1963 on the initiative of Lech Tulak and from Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Federation. The main idea of the cup was unification of auto racing in Eastern Bloc countries so there was also classification of national teams. Initially the championship was held only in the category of single seaters. Heinz Melkus and East Germany were the first champions. Until 1964 championships were held according to the rules of Formula Junior, then Formula Three. Since 1972 cars had to meet the requirements of Formula Easter. In 1973 the touring car championship was also introduced. After the revolutions of 1989 the Cup of Peace and Friendship lost its importance and was dissolved in 1990.[1]
