BRSCC ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF NEW BMW SUPERCUP CHAMPIONSHIP

Ahead of the 2025 race season, the British Racing & Sports Car Club is delighted to announce the BMW SuperCup Championship, a merger of the BMW Compact Cup and BMW 1 Series SuperCup.

The BMW Compact Cup has enjoyed a long and successful history since it began back in 2012, switching to the BRSCC from 2016 onwards and continuing to be one of the most entertaining grids in UK club motorsport. The E36 Compact consistently produces fun, exciting and excellent cost-effective tin-top racing and regularly produces excellent racing wherever it appears.

In the last couple of seasons, the BRSCC has also been developing the new BMW 1 Series SuperCup, seen as the next generation of BMW racing in the club and providing a competitive platform for drivers to move up into more modern and powerful machinery. Using the F20/F21 1.6 turbo series as the donor car, build kits can be bought from Club partners SW Motorsports for £6,995 + VAT, providing an excellent cost to performance ratio.

To grow the future of BMW racing within the Club, the BRSCC has elected to merge the two series together onto one grid, and rebrand it as the BRSCC BMW SuperCup Championship for 2025 and beyond. This means that both Compact Cup and 1 Series SuperCup cars will compete together on track, as showcased for the first time at Silverstone in October 2024. Both Compact Cup cars and 1 Series SuperCup cars will run in their own classes, with respective class winners crowned at the end of the season.

The first rounds of the newly formed BRSCC BMW SuperCup Championship will take place at Snetterton on April 5th/6th 2025. More information on the new championship will be available in due course, with registrations for 2025 opening on Wednesday 15th January.
