Calls for drivers to sign up to new BMW Compact series
Ryan Champion has called for drivers to enter a new single-make championship for the BMW Compact which is starting in the UK next year, after competing in Barbados in an E36 for the first time last month.
The Bimmacup is a Caribbean championship which has over 40 Compact E36 318tis, the organisers of which have now launched a UK variant. The winner of this series will win a funded trip to Barbados to compete in the final round of the Caribbean counterpart.
“For a relatively small investment they are a lot of fun to drive,” said reigning East African Safari Rally winner Champion.
“Somebody can potentially build one of these cars for £5000, and you’re doing a single-venue based championship, and win a drive in the Caribbean. It’s unique.”
The Bimmacup UK will head to the Jack Neal Memorial Rally at Blyton in February, followed by the Lookout Stages, Abingdon Car-nival and Pendragon Stages.
