After another solid year with good grids, the Competition Car Insurance Radical UK Cup enters 2010 better than ever, with half the grid slots already filled for the coming year.

By popular demand this year’s UK Cup will travel overseas to two of Europe’s most challenging driver’s circuits, the demanding Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, and the technical Nürburgring GP circuit in Germany. Sharing track time with the Radical European Masters series, these events will offer outstanding value-for-money, with up to five hours of track time per weekend.

The popular 40-minute enduro, two-driver race format continues in 2010, with the series welcoming both professional and amateur drivers alike. An equalisation formula means that gentleman drivers have just as much chance for glory as the pros, ensuring close racing. Competitors will receive exclusive, high-quality series jackets and merchandise, and all are eligible to enter the Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Driver Challenge, a chance to win a drive at the 2011 Daytona 24 Hours. 

Championship features:
• 2x40-minute endurance races per weekend, featuring pit-stop driver change
• Additional points for fastest lap and pole position per class
• Control tyres and series scrutineer to minimise cost and ensure equal competition
