Monoposto Racing Club new promoter of revamped F3 Cup
The Monoposto Racing Club has taken over the promotion and running of the F3 Cup ahead of the championship’s opening round this weekend at Silverstone.
The category had previously been run by Motorsport Vision Racing but last year grid numbers were very low, with entries failing to reach double figures at any of its four race meetings.
The Monoposto Racing Club, which has successfully run the Monoposto Championship and attracted nearly
40 cars for its Brands Hatch meeting last weekend, will now take the reins.
“There are people who still have the cars and there’s a desire to run the championship and I think MSVR didn’t want it to die either,” said Monoposto Racing Club coordinator Rachel Lovett. “People know we’re taking it over and they are going out and buying cars.”
As well as new promoters, there will also be a new class system for 2021 in an attempt to raise grid numbers.
The Euro F3 class will be open to cars complying with 2018-19 Euro formula regulations, while the F3 Cup class will be for cars built between 2008 and 2016. There will also be an invitational class for machines such as those used in BRDC British F3 and Formula Renault.
Other plans are being discussed to livestream some of the 2021 races, which will still take place at MSVR fixtures this season.
