Building on the growing success of last year’s Radical UK Cup, the 2011 season sees an even better calendar, increased promotion and televised footage from every round, though association with new organising partner Motor Sport Vision Racing.
Radical has listened closely to competitor feedback, to offer an exciting mix of classic circuits and new challenges. Alongside an overseas round at the ever-popular Spa-Francorchamps, the 2011 Radical UK Cup takes in both new-for-2011 layouts at Snetterton, the redeveloped Silverstone Arena and Donington Park circuits. The Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit is a welcome returnee to the season, and Oulton Park marks Radical’s traditional May foray to the North-West.
The popular 40-minute enduro, two-driver race format continues in 2011, with the series welcoming both professional and amateur drivers alike. An equalisation formula means that gentleman drivers have just as much chance for glory as the pros, ensuring close racing.
Championship features:
• 2x40-minute endurance races per weekend, featuring pit-stop driver change
• Additional points for fastest lap and pole position per class
• Control tyres and series scrutineer to minimise cost and ensure equal competition
• Class structure:
o Masters: SR8 Supersport and LM (2600cc, 2700cc and 2800cc)
o Supersport: SR3 and SR3 RS
