What Championship to Enter? There are currently 2 championships, the Duratec Sports 2000 Championship and Hstoric Sport 2000 Championship. The Historic championship is for Sports 2000 cars using the Ford Pinto engine as the power plant. This is the engine that has been propelling Sports 2000s for the last 30 years and the championship is a fabulous starting point for novice and experienced drivers
into Sports 2000 racing. Cars on average start from around £15,000, running costs are very low at around £6000 per season which includes entry fees, tyres and petrol. Sports 2000 Duratec Championship
After 30 years of service the Pinto has been now been replaced with the Ford Duratec engine which produces about 200bhp in standard trim. The whole concept of Sports 2000 Duratec was to get new cars made once again and to that end it has been very successful. Introduced just a few years ago the manufacturers have now latched on to the fact that our budget formula has a global base. Already we have Lola, Juno, Van Diemen, Motus, RAY and Carbir as well as new models from the Gunn and MCR and the latest recruit March. Variety has always been a feature of Sports 2000 and the new generation is clearly no different. These new cars are allowed a sequential gearbox and alloy calipers plus a spec wing. The SRCC was founded to further the cause of Sports 2000 racing by raising its profile and enjoyment for competitors and spectators alike. Whether you have a Sports 2000 sitting in the garage, or you intend to start racing or indeed you are already racing then the SRCC is the club to join to further your enjoyment of racing the ultimate affordable Sports Racing car. We have two main aims, firstly to bring back Sports 2000 racing to the ultra high profile series it was in the early 80's when they used to have over subscribed grids and supported F1. Our second aim is to bring back the 'FUN' into racing as well as bringing back the camaraderie amongst fellow owners not only at the race track but also socially.
