Once registered, drivers will be invited to a series of open days, workshops and seminars, which are all designed to help those who are new to competition racing, as well as experienced racers, to understand the new rules for the series, support with sourcing and development of cars, as well as providing insights into securing sponsorship and other financial support.
Open days will also offer the opportunity for drivers to test out the types of cars that can be used in the new championship at BIC’s track over the coming weeks. At these events, drivers will also have the chance to speak to local experts who will provide support across all areas relevant to those taking their first steps into racing.
The overall aim of the new championship is to support broader participation in local racing, lower the financial barriers to entry and provide support and education to novice racers who are looking gain their first experience in track racing.
