BARC SATURDAY MEET

- Motorsport

BRITISH Automobile Racing Club: The Citroën C1 24-hour race that was scheduled to take place at Anglesey Circuit over the weekend of 7th & 8th September has been cancelled due to a shortage of marshals to cover the event safely.

The Citroën C1 Racing Club’s second 24-hour race of the season was due to form part of the British Automobile Racing Club’s two-day event, but a severe lack of marshals forced the BARC to cancel the endurance race.

This meeting will now just run on Saturday with a busy schedule for Caterham Graduates and the Hyundai Coupe Cup and an all-comers race to close the day.

Arguably one of the largest championsh­ips in the UK, the Caterham Graduates Championsh­ip is open to 1600cc Caterham Roadsport cars, as originally raced in the Caterham Scholarshi­p and Caterham Academy series. The championsh­ip boasts a multi-class system to allow various engines to compete.

With entry lists topping 40 cars on a regular basis, the close and competitiv­e racing is quite often aweinspiri­ng, and nowhere more so than at Anglesey on the technicall­y challengin­g Coastal configurat­ion, which includes the ever-popular Corkscrew complex.

The Hyundai Coupe Cup is one of the fastest-growing series in the UK under the British Automobile Racing Club umbrella.

The Coupe Cup is a budget conscious, single-make category for first and second generation two-litre Hyundai Coupe cars running a strict set of constructi­on rules.

Using control parts from some of the top motorsport manufactur­ers ensures costs are kept in check and it is the driver that makes the difference.
