We did say mostly….. We were conscious, when we announced the provisional calendar, that the closure of Rockingham had taken quite a bit of track capacity out of the market, so we hadn’t got as much as we’d wanted. We’ve been working away at that with BARC, and have managed to secure three more race […]
The news that you’ve all been waiting for is at last here. Well mostly. The calendar remains provisional for now, but this is next year as we know it today. We don’t have prices yet and these are still a couple of weeks away, but at least this will allow you to put some dates […]
Why Even American Drivers Are Showing Up To Race A 67 HP Citroën In Belgium Spa-Francorchamps has many well-known corners. Eau Rouge you likely know. But the one that prompts a reflexive wriggle against the harness straps on approach is Pouhon, a downhill, fourth-gear left-hander round the back of the circuit. It’s probably just a […]

Why racing a Citroën C1 at Spa is the real holy grail of motorsport Why on earth would anyone want to race at Spa-Francorchamps in a Citroën C1? With just 68hp you might think it would struggle to drag itself up from Eau Rouge. And whether it’s Häkkinen on Schumacher back in 2000, Jacky Ickx, Derek […]
2018 Season – still a few more races if you want to exercise your C1 Well that’s our official 2018 season over, although there are still a couple of chances to get your C1 out, most notably the simply wonderful Race of Remembrance run by Mission Motorsport at Anglesey on Remembrance Sunday, at which we […]
We are ridiculously excited to announce that we have agreed with BARC and Silverstone that our first UK 2019 24-hour race will be held on the Silverstone GP circuit on the 26th, 27th and 28th April, 2019. That’s right: the same circuit that the Formula One race takes place on. With 110 C1s, which means two […]
So that’s our first UK season done and dusted. We’ll do a proper review of the season after Spa, but it’s been quite an experience for us at least. Please let us know your views: what was good; what wasn’t; what we can improve and anything else you’d like to see. Please email us at […]
Rocky II Rocky II and final 24hr turned out to be a decidedly interesting weekend, for some of the right reasons, and for some less so. Overall, the racing was some of the best that we have seen so far, and it was great to see some new teams out there. We were blessed with […]

Snetterton Update After an eight-week break, it was good to be back out on track again, wasn’t it? Snetterton 300 is a brilliant circuit, and it was quite amazing to see 53 cars starting the four-hour race: the largest grid ever seen at Snetterton. It turned out to be quite a race, as well: Old […]
