The Greatest Racing Series in the UK!!

There are several reasons why the Fiat Racing Challenge is the best club racing series in the UK:

1) Cost - You can buy a car for as little as £1500.00 or build a shiny new Punto HGT for about £4000.00.

The yearly running costs will then be roughly as follows:

Entry Fees: £2500.00
Race Fuel: £400.00
Tyres: £650.00
Consumables: £750.00

Therefore the cost of a years racing, assuming you don't dent it too much, are only £4300.00. If you add a bit for unforseen items it will set you back around 5k. That is about the cheapest racing in the UK.

2) Class Structure - Simple. There isn't one. The person at the front is winning the race. All of the cars run in the same class, so the order on the track is the order of the race. ( A bit like Touring Cars!)

3) Speed - Do not be fooled by the Fiat badge. These are fast, lightweight cars running on slick racing tyres. On Fifth Gear VBH lapped Anglesey slower in a Carrera 4 than we do in a fiat Uno or Punto! You can spend an awful lot more money on your motor racing and go a lot slower.

Now I know you are itching to have a go, visit http://www.fiatracing.com/ and get involved!Cars available to buy or just to try, available to hire.
