Popular 7 Race Series gets championship status
The Motorsport Vision Racing-administered
7 Race Series has achieved championship status for this season.
The popular category, which attracted 57 cars for its two races at Silverstone last weekend, has run as a series over the past few years but has now become a points-scoring championship.
It has been the brainchild of long-time Caterham racer and preparer Andy Mcmillan, who said of the change of status: “We made it a championship as that’s what the drivers wanted, but we can always change it back as we listen to them.”
Before the end of the year, visits are planned to Mondello Park, Le Mans, the Algarve circuit and
Estoril – and Mcmillan says Valencia and Jerez are targets for next season.
“I buy the track time and we go to good quality circuits, it’s so popular that we have eight reserves for Le Mans,” he added.
Ex-formula Renault racer, and now rally driver, David Henderson was among the Silverstone entry and said: “It’s so friendly and inviting and it was enough to get me back in the car after eight months.”
