CSCC adds supercharged class to new Turbo Tin Tops series

The Classic Sports Car Club has announced that it will add an additional class to its new Turbo Tin Tops series in response to high interest levels from entrants with supercharged cars.

Following the release of the provisional regulations for the new-for-2018 series ahead of next season, the club has received ‘a large number of enquiries’ about permitting entry to supercharged cars.

In response, the CSCC has added an extra class for 1500 to 1899cc cars, predominantly catering for R53 Mini Cooper S models – although its inclusion is not expected to be high on account of rarity of the model. The Toyota Corolla Compressor, Yaris, Volkswagen Golf and Corrado G60 will also be accepted.

“We have been very encouraged by the high level of interest shown in our newest race series,” the club said in an announcement.

“[The new class] is to cater predominantly for the many Mini Cooper S which race with us at present, as well as those who wish to sign up for next season.”

Paul Anderton has also been appointed as the series’ driver representative, a role he also holds for the CSCC’S Modern Classic series.

The final draft of the regulations are still to be confirmed by the Motor Sports Association, with the calendar yet to be announced.
