Prize money for new drivers

A £10,000 prize pot is on offer for any new crew which takes a victory during the 2019 Fun Cup season.

Alongside the top prize, a second place will earn a new crew £3000, and third £1000.

Both professional and amateur drivers will be eligible for the prize provided they have never competed in a Fun Cup race prior to this year.

“It’s for drivers that have never raced in the Fun Cup before,” said Paul Rose, Fun Cup race director, who has predicted a 30-car grid for 2019.

“It’s called Fun Cup and people say it’s easy because of the name, people say they can win that and we said ‘well you can hire a car and prove it’.

“We’ve got two teams signed up already who are new for this year.”
