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.
