Civic Cup organisers plan ‘Hondurance’ race as series lands more TCR UK support spots

Civic Cup organisers are planning to run a special Honda endurance race at Anglesey next year.

The ‘Hondurance’ contest is set to be a 50-minute race held next August and will have a class for Civic Cup cars and another open to other Hondas.

“It’s something just for fun, hence the fun name!” explained Civic Cup coordinator Simon Toolan. “Some of our competitors have run them in series like Club Enduro and thought it would be fun to try and get a bunch on track together.

“It’s not an official Civic Cup round – we will have a Civic Cup class and a class for other Hondas. It will be 50 minutes, no pitstops, one driver and thought it would be a little bit of fun. The guys have been asking for it and we’re happy to help out.”

The Civic Cup moved to the British Racing and Sports Car Club this season, having previously been administered by the 750 Motor Club, and had another successful year – grids averaged 25 cars.

It will now feature on the undercard for all five of TCR UK’S Brscc-organised meetings next year, having supported it twice this term.

“The cars look great – our drivers put a huge amount of effort into the cars and the liveries, they sound terrific and they look like little touring cars so to align ourselves with TCR is a good thing,” said Toolan, adding that with Civics competing in the TCR series it made for a good connection between the categories.
