Think you've got a fast car?

Well come and show us! If it's got a roof you can probably race it with the Arrowpak Euro Saloons Championship. We welcome most saloons, coupes and sports cars, the criteria being they should have been sold in the European Union at some time and that there is at least one road going example. This definition includes vehicles from mainstream manufacturers worldwide and also allows grey imports, personal imports, certain kit cars and most low volume brands.

For 2012 expect marques such as Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Daihatsu, Fiat, Ford, Harrier, Honda, Lancia, Lotus, Marcos, MG, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Noble, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Rover, Seat, Subaru, Suzuki, Talbot, Tommy, Vauxhall and Volkswagen to do battle.

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 2012 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 2012.

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.

The championship visits many UK circuits and offers twenty-minute races with rolling starts and a mixture of both single and double-header events. With a registration fee of just £125 we welcome committed and occasional entrants alike and the championship enjoys sponsorship and promotion from Arrowpak Ltd, Mark Fish Motorsport, MSE-Performance.com & Nyssa Ltd.
