Praga cup vision
Praga cupvision
This will be an absolutely unique and exciting championship. Nothing like this has been seen in the UK for years.
Following the success of the inaugural Praga Cup UK one-make race series, Praga Cars and Britcar have strengthened their relationship to bring a new championship to the UK racing calendar for the 2023 season.
The new Britcar Prototype Cup will see the Praga R1 racecars share the grid with other prototypes, meaning bigger grids, even more competitive racing and more track time. The Cup will consist of five rounds visiting some of the UK's most popular race circuits, with each round including two 25 minute sprint races and one 50 minute pitstop race.
Retaining the Pro and Am driver pairing structure of 2022, the Praga Cup will run as its own standalone class alongside classes for LMP3 cars as well as open classes for other prototype style race cars, balanced by power to weight ratios.
Competitors will receive many of the benefits of being in a Britcar championship including full race day hospitality, livestreamed races and dedicated promotion from both Britcar and Praga's in-house media, marketing and social-media team.
