ABOUT CUP CAR RACING UK

These cars usually race on tarmac short track ovals. However, they are also one of the few formulas that can run any UK racing circuit with very few alterations to set up and gearing due to their unique design and the Winters quick-change axle which allows gearing to be changed in minutes.

The Chassis

These cars are designed with the full safety of the driver in mind, with a full roll cage and front and rear impact areas known as clips as used in  Cup Cars in the USA. If involved in a serious accident these are designed to protect the driver and cause minimal damage to the main chassis, reducing costly repairs. The chassis must remain standard – the only modifications allowed are to accommodate drivers seat/steering position. Second hand cars include a full race harness and professional racing seat.

Using the FJ 1200/XJR1300 (1250cc) engines these cars are capable of reaching speeds in excess of 140mph with an amazing 10 to 1 power to weight ratio and feature a fully adjustable suspension and race set up just like the real  Cup Cars

THE COST

Second hand cars are imported from the USA and are only available through the promoters. Prices start from £6,000.00 upwards for a ready to race, alternatively give us a call with your budget and we’ll find you a car to meet it.

About ACCR UK

With approximate average running costs per season of less than £2,000  (this includes entry fees and licences), with nothing more than frequent oil changes and general wear and tear to eat into that budget, with current drivers still using the same engines, bodies and running gear for over 5 seasons now this is serious racing on a not so serious budget. These cars are not only fast but very tough and durable.

An average engine replacement is approx £800.00, for a second hand unit and the engines are fully sealed to ensure equal opportunities to win. Very few modifications are allowed and only standard carburettors can be used, keeping the cost levels down.

Brand new cars are available for purchase in three ways: you can purchase a car unassembled in kit form, as a complete roller minus engine, or as a complete assembled running car.  Or a used car from the USA or  UK market or from our ex hire fleet starting from around £5000.00 All four options are available in the UK. Which ever way you choose we can give you full workshop back up and with our lorry at every meeting parts and track side support!

Both complete and roller cars do not come with seats or seat belt harness’.  These items need to be custom fit to the driver, and it’s recommended drivers contact their preferred vendor for these items.
