New club for F1000 as it swaps BRSCC for 750MC
F1000 has decided to leave the British Racing and Sports Car Club after 21 years and will be administered by the 750 Motor Club next season.
The bike-engined single-seater category has been a BRSCC series ever since it was founded but has now decided to switch to the 750MC for 2019 with the club’s focus on affordable motorsport.
“I’d like to thank the BRSCC for hosting us through 21 years of various iterations of championships,” said championship manager Frazer Corbyn. “Now is the right time, for the F1000 Championship to move to the 750 Motor Club which has been known as the ‘Home of Affordable Motorsport’ since 1939.
“This will enable drivers, teams and the championship to build on the current growth of our grids and also ensure its long-term sustainability.
“We are grateful for the support the BRSCC has given our championships over the years and wish the BRSCC and all its competitors and championships a successful future.”
Giles Groombridge, 750MC competitions manager, added: “It’s great to have a single-seater slicks and wings race category back in our portfolio after a five or six year’s absence. We look forward to getting them up and running as soon as possible.”
F1000 is the second long-standing BRSCC series to move away from the club in recent years, following Mighty Minis moving to the British Automobile Racing Club for the 2016 season.
