STRONG INTEREST IN HONDA CONTEST
Club Time Attack’s newly launched
Racing Hondas championship has received strong initial interest with enquiries from more than 50 potential competitors as well as interest from sponsors.
The new contest, for which all Honda models from all eras are eligible, was launched by the club a fortnight ago.
The championship will run on the same programme as the Time Attack championship from next season.
And Racing Hondas championship coordinator Simon Slade has told Motorsport News that in the short time since being unveiled, interest in the championship has far surpassed expectations.
Slade told MN: “We’ve had over 50 enquiries and we’re already getting interest from sponsors so very pleased with the initial reaction we’ve had.”
The inaugural round is set to take place at Cadwell Park on April 30-May 1 next year, and there will be 16 races in total across six weekends. Value-for-money, fair competition, close racing and large audiences are promised. lI■ last week’s MN in our news article on the launch of the Racing Hondas championship we mistakenly stated that the Civic Challenge was formerly run by the British Racing and Sports Car Club. BRSCC never ran this series. MN apologises for this error.
