Tin Tops

Started in 2005 the Tin Tops have become very popular series. It is particularly suited to novice racers who can start in relatively cheap cars and move on as they gain experience.

Following the standard CSCC series format the races are run over forty minutes and include the added excitement of a mandatory pit-stop, so that two drivers may share a car (and costs). Two drivers may enter as a team in two cars in order to keep costs down even further for people who don't want to do (and pay for) more than a 20 minute race or share their car.

Cars range from the much-loved and iconic Mini Cooper S to modern-day cars such as the Honda Civic Type R.

The class structure is based on engine capacity to encourage competitive racing through the field and give everyone something to race for. Cars are battling all down the field and provide great entertainment – spectators can watch their favourite “hot hatches” being driven on the limit!

All outright race-winning cars will have a 30-second timed pit-lane penalty during the driver change window when it next enters a race. This is to be served in a designated area AFTER the usual pitstop manouevre has been completed. Subsequent wins will incur an extra 30-second penalty. These penalties to remain throughout the season.
