Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain is one of the fastest single-marque GT racing championships in the UK, with high-profile teams and drivers having delivered spectacular wheel-to-wheel action for more than two decades.
An integral part of the British Touring Car Championship support bill, the championship is the perfect audition for ambitious drivers that keen to prove themselves and to accelerate their progression within the world of motorsport.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain grid is made up of identical and exhilarating – 510 bhp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars, putting the focus on pure driving skill. This creates a thrilling, close race environment and provides superb facilities for both drivers and teams.
The racing is split into three categories with a place for all drivers with all levels of experience. The classes consist of Professional (PRO), Professional-Amateur (PRO-AM) and Amateur (AM). There are also Rookie and Entrant Championship’s as well.
In addition, the championship also identifies and nurtures young racing talent in the shape of its RAFA Racing Club Porsche Carrera Cup GB Junior programme. Run every two years, the winner benefits from financial support and a mentoring package tailored to maximise their full potential.
The Britcar Endurance Championship is one of the premier endurance categories in the UK with bumper grids of sports cars, touring cars, GT and TCR cars all guaranteeing close, competitive racing.
Known for its versatility, the championship has been through many guises down the years with the most recent one coming in 2025 as the Britcar Trophy Championship and British Endurance Championship amalgamated together to form one grid.
Variety is very much the spice of life when it comes to the championship too with multiple classes ensuring that action runs right throughout the field. Adding to the excitement are driver changes and varying race length formats.
All cars run on Goodyear or Dunlop Direzza race tyres accordingly, and performance is balanced both technically and for individual Pro-Am pairings, by allotted pit stop timings, across and within the class structure.
The 2026 season sees the championship make a welcome return to mainland Europe as it takes centre stage at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium at the end of May. Its traditional season finale at Brands Hatch under the cover of darkness also returns for another year.
The Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain is home to the beautiful Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport model – providing a fiercely competitive one-make series and a strong step on the ladder into sports car racing.
The championship may be the younger brother to the Carrera Cup Great Britain car – but these mid-mounted 3.8-litre flat-six engined machines deliver 425 bhp to the rear wheels though a six-speed gearbox and are a real thoroughbred racing machine from the Stuttgart concern.
Accommodating both amateur and professional drivers alike, the championship operates a two-category structure: Pro and Am. Both will feature on the same grid, with each category operating its own points structure and championship table, just like Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain.
The Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain boasts a calendar that ensures maximum commercial exposure as it races solely on the support package of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship as well as a rich variety of UK circuits.
The Caffeine&Machine Caterham Academy – the perfect place to start in the world of circuit racing for novice drivers, and is one of the most popular categories in UK national motorsport, boasting sold out grids every year since its inception back in 1995.
Continuing to build on its long-standing history and success of being considered one of Europe’s most successful novice driver championships – its all-inclusive ‘introduction to motorsport’ package includes a Ford Sigma powered, fully road-legal race car, race licence, technical support and the racing itself – but perhaps most importantly, the guidance from the Caterham team at every step of the journey.
The series is for rookie drivers with graduates moving on up to the Roadsport category. The Academy car itself produces 125bhp and uses an open differential, five-speed gearbox and low-grip tyres; all of which will help those behind the wheel fine-tune their skills and car control.
The Bilstein Caterham Roadsport Championship is the next step on the Caterham ladder for those drivers and cars that have previously competed in the Caterham Academy.
Enabling them to compete alongside many of the same faces and machines that they battled against the previous year, the Roadsport Championship is the ultimate proving ground for those wanting to further develop their skills behind the wheel.
The road-legal Roadsport race car is a simple progression of the 125bhp Ford Sigma powered Academy car; its performance significantly enhanced by the addition of a rear anti-roll bar and Avon ZZS road legal track tyres – which have been developed jointly by Avon Tyres and Caterham – providing more grip enabling greater corner speeds over the Academy category machines.
The Roadsport championship provides a slightly quicker car but for the relative novices, gives a sense of familiarity.
The EDGE Caterham 270R Championship is the coming of age series, as Caterham Roadsport drivers look to spread their wings and step-up the level of competition and professionalism as the next rung on the Caterham ladder is home to the competent racing driver.
Unlike the other two feeder categories, there are no restrictions on professional team support or driver involvement, meaning that drivers may have several years of experience which makes it a fiercely competitive championship.
Cars that compete in the Seven 270R Championship have typically made their way up from the Academy Championship from 2014 onwards, with most vehicles having originally been a modified version of 2016-2022 Academy cars.
Developed into fully-fledged race focused machines, 270R cars boast stiffer suspension and the removal of the windscreens and lights – giving them a similar look and feel to their more rapid 310R and Seven Championship UK counterparts.
The Vertex Caterham Seven 310R Championship represents a well established and successful class in Caterham racing, providing the penultimate step on the ladder for the proficient race driver in a car that started life in the Academy Championship.
In what is the ultimate evolution of the Academy car, the machines that compete in the 310R ranks produce in excess of 152bhp – giving it a better power-to-weight ratio than a Porsche 911.
Sharing plenty of similarities to the cars that race in the Caterham Seven 270R Championship such as suspension and aeroscreen, the Seven 310R also requires a limited slip differential for increased traction and improved cornering.
Providing a fitting backdrop for progression up the ranks, the Caterham Seven 310R Championship is the perfect proving ground for those wanting to one day graduate into the full-bore Caterham Seven Championship UK – the top echelon of the Caterham racing for the expert racer.
The Dutch Barn Vodka Caterham Seven Championship UK is the top of the tree on the Caterham ladder and one of the most prestigious national racing series in the UK.
Organised in conjunction with the British Automobile Racing Club, the championship offers one of the most competitive and exhilarating competitions going, and to keep the playing field level, every car on the grid is identical, providing pretty much out-of-the-box close competition.
The top thoroughbred from the Caterham marque sees a 180bhp two-litre Caterham Motorsport tuned engine shoe-horned into the small and agile machine. Paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox and bespoke racing chassis it produces phenomenal power-to-weight ratio and an experience like no other on track.
What makes the Seven championship different is the SuperPole format for the top ten qualifying cars – with additional points on offer for the top three placing cars.
The CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship is the multi-class series that is run by the British Automobile Racing Club’s North Western Centre and is home to a whole host of cars regardless of make, model or power output.
This Sports/Saloon Championship started off back in 1984 as a Special GT Championship with a small core of regular enthusiastic entrants.
Over the next 40 years it has grown into a successful and cost-effective Sports/Saloon championship run over several rounds at a variety of race meetings – with grids regularly approaching or exceeding 30 cars of all shapes and sizes.
To be eligible cars for the championship must have been originally designed for road use, they are then split into two basic categories, Silhouette Special and Modified.
Each of these categories is then sub-divided into three capacity classes with splits at 1600cc and 2500cc. The more highly modified cars fit into the Silhouette Special classes. Basically, as long as the car has the same silhouette as the original – this will be its home.
Expect to see exotic machinery such as the Saker S1-500, Lotus Esprit Turbo and TVR Tuscan run side by side with iconic saloons such as the Vauxhall Vectra, Ford Fiesta, Mini Cooper and Renault 5, with interlopers such as BMWs Ginetta’s and Caterham’s in for good measure too.
