BRSCC 2025 BRANDS HATCH SPRING SEASON STARTER

The BRSCC 2025 Spring Season Starter is ready to light up the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit with a weekend of high-stakes racing, as some of the most exciting championships in British motorsport go wheel-to-wheel at one of the UK’s most iconic circuits. With everything from multi-hour endurance races to fast-paced sprints, this event promises to be a spectacular curtain-raiser for the spring racing season.

The headline act for the weekend is the season opener for the Fun Cup Endurance Championship, a series renowned for its bumper grids and long-distance races. With its unique, quirky race cars and unpredictable format, Fun Cup racing is always a spectacle. Teams will battle for hours on end, with driver changes, fuel strategy, and relentless wheel-to-wheel racing keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Anything can happen in a Fun Cup race — and it often does — making it a must-watch for anyone attending the Spring Season Starter.

Adding to the excitement, the SW Motorsports ClubSport Trophy also kicks off its 2025 season at Brands Hatch. This championship is known for its multi-class racing format, with everything from small hatchbacks to powerful saloons sharing the same track. Each car class has its own battle to win, ensuring the track is always alive with action. With drivers constantly jostling for position, ClubSport Trophy races offer non-stop entertainment, and on a tight, twisty circuit like Brands Hatch Indy, the racing will be as intense as ever.

Fans of one-make racing will be spoiled for choice, with three distinct Mazda MX-5 series set to deliver some of the closest and most competitive racing of the weekend. The GAZ Shocks Mazda MX-5 Championship returns for its second round of the season, bringing with it a grid full of ambitious young drivers and experienced racers alike. Known for close-quarters battles and dramatic last-lap showdowns, this championship is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

The Downforce Radio Mazda MX-5 Clubman Championship is also back for round two, providing a platform for up-and-coming talent to make their mark. While it’s often seen as a stepping stone to bigger series, that doesn’t make the competition any less fierce. With pride, points, and progress all on the line, expect to see bold moves and big risks from the drivers as they push for glory.

Meanwhile, the Clapham North MOT Mazda MX-5 SuperCup brings together the fastest and most experienced Mazda racers in the UK. This championship represents the pinnacle of MX-5 racing, with faster, more powerful cars and a more cut-throat level of competition. It’s a championship where the smallest mistake can cost everything, and at Brands Hatch Indy, there’s no room for error. With every driver desperate to make an early statement in the 2025 season, the racing will be fast, frantic, and fiercely competitive.

Adding even more excitement to the weekend, the Super Classic Pre ’99 Formula Ford Championship kicks off its 2025 season at Brands Hatch. Featuring a stunning array of iconic Formula Ford machinery built before 1999, this championship combines nostalgia with raw racing action. Renowned for its close, wheel-to-wheel battles and reliance on pure driver skill, the Super Classic Pre ’99 grid always delivers high-adrenaline racing. For fans of classic single-seater action, this is not to be missed.

Rounding out the action is a special combined grid featuring two fan-favorite classic racing series — the Hickford Construction MG Metro Cup and the Ricci Concept Classic VW Cup. Bringing together iconic Metros, Golfs, Sciroccos and other VAG machines in the mix, this grid is a showcase of classic tin-top racing at its best. While the cars may be retro, the action is anything but. Expect bumpers to rub, panels to scrape, and drivers to go all-out to cross the finish line first. With two different championships sharing one grid, there’s bound to be plenty of wheel-to-wheel excitement.
