TIME ATTACK UNVEILS NEW HONDA CONTEST
Club Time Attack has launched a brand-new Honda-specific race championship called the Racing Hondas championship to provide high-profile, value-for-money and close racing competition.
The new contest will run on the same programme as the Time Attack championship, and will have 16 rounds over six weekends, with each meeting also featuring a large car show.
All Honda models from all eras are eligible in the championship, and there will be three main classes: two based on power-to-weight with semislick tyres, plus a slick-shod class with no modification restrictions.
The regulations will accommodate existing Hondas from other championships, so drivers can switch without carrying out modifications. There will also be a control tyre and regulated components; organisers will create a range of discounted parts opportunities.
To help the championship’s introduction, Club Time Attack has acquired the Civic Challenge series run formerly by the British Racing and Sports Car Club.
Time Attack managing director Andy Barnes said: “[TCR UK and Civic Cup] demonstrated that our Time Attack audiences enjoy the added attraction of racing. So, being a creative organisation, when we were contacted by Civic Challenge to provide them with new a home, we spotted a significant opportunity to take things further.”
