Full size stock cars powered by mighty Rover V8s, with controlled rules on tyres and suspension; resulting in an ultimately cheaper option than their cousins but with just as much action!
Since 1984, the formula retains its original identity of cheaper, fun, competitive racing. The formula is affiliated to the F1 BSCDA; meaning we can have their support and are covered by the Benevolent Fund. The formula is holding its own each year with attendances of mid 20s to early 30s most meetings.
Cars typically suit all budget from around £5000 up-to the higher end of £12000, depending on specification; with around 20 meetings per year help to keep travel costs down, no more than 24.
