Nankang Tyre CityCar Cup Championship

About the Nankang Tyre CityCar Cup Championship

Launched in 2020, the success and popularity of the CityCar Cup have resulted in it being approved by Motorsport UK for full Championship status for the 2021 race season.  

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 adjustable GAZ Shocks coilover suspension, Nankang NS-2R tyres, Powerflex Suspension bushes, a 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 made ready to race for around £7,000. Essential Racing will also happily supply ready built “turn-key” cars should you prefer that option.  

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