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.

Interested competitor­s should contact Rob Brook – Rob@rb-motorsport.co.uk – for regulation­s and further details.
