Championship Profile
ABOUT
The Civic Cup is one of the most renowned and well patronised clubman racing championships in the UK. Since its formation in 2011 as a series, the Civic Cup has grown to become the headline event at any race meeting it visits- drawing significant spectator crowds- both in person and online. In 2015 the Civic Cup came of age, gaining full MSA approved championship status, bringing further kudos to the Cup. On to 2016 and what looks to be another grid filling season, with new cars both on the track and in the process of being built, the Civic Cup is now divided into two classes- Class A being the earlier 1600cc EF, EG and EK civics, and Class B being made up of EP3 and FN2 2000cc vehicles so we can better cater for the full spectrum of our racers.
THE CARS
Class A:
Eligible cars in this class are the EE/EF, EG and EK variety Civic type R, with either the B16a2 or the legendary B16b power plant, and regulated modifications. Max BHP is 195, and with their double wishbone suspension, lightweight and perfectly balanced chassis, the Class A is a car loved by many, and can be found on frequent occasion sporting lap times that many much more powerful race cars would only dream of.
Class B:
Made up of UK domestic model EP3 and FN2 Civic type Rs, class B has exploded in popularity over the past 12 months, largely due to its cost effective build spec. ,yet offering incredible levels of performance. Powered by standard K20a2 or K20z4, with limited and closely regulated bolt on parts, and generating 230BHP, the 2000cc Civics are arguably, the most closely fought single make saloon car championships in the UK today.
