New French Race Series
It's in it's infancy currently, but the Red Dragon Race Club (who run Nippon Challenge, Civic Cup and a few others) are looking to expand into the French market.
It will mean a new series for Peugeot, Renault and Citroen. Quote:
This years calendar looked like this: 24/03/12 Brands Hatch Indy Circuit Series Race 15 minutes 2x 15 minutes 15/04/12 Pembrey Series Race 15 minutes 3x 15 minutes 20/05/12 Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit Series Race 15 minutes 2x 15 minutes 17/06/12 Castle Combe Series Race 20 minutes 2x 15 minutes 28/07/12 Silverstone National Circuit Series Race 15 minutes 2x 15 minutes 12/08/12 Mallory Park Full Circuit Series Race 15 minutes 2x 15 minutes 02/09/12 Cadwell Park Full Circuit Series Race 15 minutes 2x 15 minutes |
Could be a few of those Renault Spiders making an appearance?
|
They are not a 'tin top,' so I doubt they will be eligible.

Ahh I didn't see anywhere above that said it had to be a tin top, sorry....

RACE SERIES UPDATE .
As things stand we intend to run FRENCH TROHPY RACE SERIES specifically for Peugeot Citroen and Renault, and there will be 14 races over 7 weekends at circuits throughout the country including Brands Hatch , Silverstone Donnington etc. If we get sufficient interest we will have Tv coverage. The class structure whilst not set in stone will be provisionally for the initial season which can then be tweaked for year tow to suit the cars actually racing. Class A 1601-2000cc multi valve Class B 1601-2000cc dual valve Class C up to 1600cc Multi Valve Class D up to 1600cc Dual Valve Diesel turbo cars to run in class A This should accommodate most of the Clio’s , 306’s , 106’s 205 & Saxo’s currently out racing in other series plus allow for the more modern cars such as Megan’s and , DS Citroen series cars.. All cars would run on treaded tyres listed in the blue book. Should we achieve a good level of support we intend to provide tv coverage for some if not all the events in 2013 |

It seems a very open class, i mean if i was to run a vtr would there be any rules on forced induction or tyres... If its completely open then for the 1600 multi valve then youll have to be running something like ross's power with full space frame and a saxo shell dropped over the top, with the floor pan underneath...
Also what would stop someone running last years rally car? |
What are the class rules regarding modifications?
|
Regs are still developing.
Alan, when I started, I was on the grid for £1500. Fixed costs= Car costs= cage, seat, harness, extinguisher, cut-off. You costs= suit, boots, gloves, lid, ARDS test, license, club membership Once you've done/ got that lot the costs are variable, the more you race the more it costs. entry fees, tyres, brake pads, race fuel, travel costs, food. That looks like a lot, but it can be done on a modest budget. I bet you've got most of the car stuff. |
So... In which class can I come under as 1600cc, multivalve, turbo)
|
Sounds like a good series if they can get the numbers together!
Must get my car finished! |
my view would be do not comit FULL until regs are available
my guess would be that no forced induction will be allowed unless it was fitted by maker . but until regs are finalised you won,t know I have been conned before--promises of regs to get entries ,then you find they have modded too fill the grids you can only develop a winning car by studying the regs before you even start building the car |
