Nankang Tyre CityCar Cup Championship

About the Nankang Tyre CityCar Cup Championship

Launched in 2020, the success and popularity of the CityCar Cup Championship resulted in packed grids through its inaugural 2021 full season, and the same is expected through 2022!

The championship features 1.0 litre 3 door models of the 2005-2013 Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1, with the carefully designed technical regulations ensuring that not only do all cars deliver equal track performance, they also look, sound, handle and feel like ‘proper’ race cars.

Driver safety and driving entertainment both factor highly, with cars featuring a bespoke SW Motorsports roll cage along with GAZ Shocks coilover suspension, Nankang NS-2R tyres, Powerflex Suspension bushes, a Hybrid Tune remapped ECU and various other mandatory features such as a sports exhaust and 15-inch ATS alloy wheels.

The cars have been meticulously designed and specced  by our development partners Essential Racing to be easily self-built, and fully compliant cars can be bought ready to race for around £7,000. Essential Racing will also happily supply new-built “turn-key” cars should you prefer that option.

The BRSCC CityCar Cup Championship has quickly become one of the fastest growing and best value for money UK tin-top racing series, so if you fancy getting involved please contact the series coordinator or Essential Racing to discuss your needs.

New for 2022 is the introduction of the Student Motorsport Challenge, this being an intra-championship competition where college and university teams build and race CityCar Cup cars in the main championship whilst competing with each other for special awards.
