In 2011 Garage Whifbitz decided to enter the BRSCC Euro Saloons race championship :
The championship provides a home for a wide variety of existing and purpose built competition machinery. The regulations separate vehicles into three basic categories depending on their technical specification. These categories are termed Modified, Production modified and Production. The championship has five classes, which consist of a mixture of vehicles built to the technical requirements of these three categories, sorted according to engine cubic capacity.
Most cars that have been built to the specific regulations for other championships will find that they slot comfortably into one of the classes according to their technical specification, and the result is an exciting and surprisingly competitive mix.
Renault Clios built to previous years’ one make regulations will continue to enjoy their own Clio Cup challenge, sponsored by Mark Fish Motorsport.
Similarly, a Super Touring Car & Seat Cup’ in 2011 will run over eight races, open to any ex-Super Touring, S2000, WTCC, BTCC, STCC, and Seat Cupra, Leon (UK) or Supercopa cars.
Class A caters for some awesome machinery such as Mid and front engined two seater sports or GT cars over 3000cc or with forced induction, Escort & Sierra Cosworth 4wd, Mitsubishi Evo 4wd, Subaru Impreza 4wd, Nissan Skyline 4wd and some FIA classified cars.
Class B is for factory built Touring cars, 2007 onwards model year Seat Cupra challenge cars, and other modifieds over 3500cc
Class C allows smaller engined Modifieds between 1750cc and 3500cc, Mid- and front engined two seaters (1600cc to 3000cc normally aspirated), Production Modifieds over 3500cc and Production over 6000cc
Class D accepts Modifieds up to 1750cc, Mid and front engined two seaters up to 1600cc, Production Modified 2000cc to 3500cc and Production 3500cc to 6000cc. Renault Clio Cup and Renault Megane Cup cars will run in Class D for 2011.
Class E pits smaller engined Production Modifieds up to 2000cc with Production spec cars up to up to 3500cc
There is also a non-championship invitation Class F available to allow cars meeting the spirit if not the letter of the regulations to race with us on an occasional basis.
