MOTORSPORT is back at Rockingham next month (April) with some of the best British Club Racing raising the curtain on a new season.
The British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) returns to Northamptonshire over the weekend of April 5/6 to launch the circuit’s 2014 racing calendar with a packed programme of single-seaters, sports cars and saloons.
Advance adult tickets are priced at just £10 per day and admission for children aged 16 and under is FREE ensuring families can enjoy some of the best action from the British Club motor racing scene at an affordable price.
Kicking-off their season will be the ambitious young drivers of the Protyre Formula Renault Championship including Pietro Fittipaldi, grandson of double Formula One World Champion Emerson. The Brazilian won the title in 1972 and 1974.

Representing the saloons the Kumho BMW Championship never fails to impress with its large grids and close racing. Also on the timetable will be Track Attack Race Club, which includes the Nippon Challenge, Tricolore Trophy, MR2 Series & Coupe Cup.
Door-to-door action comes from the Michelin Clio Cup Race Series and Road Series, stepping stones to the BTCC supporting Renault UK Clio Cup. The Race Series features third generation, 2.0-litre racing Clios while the Road Series is for race-converted Clio Renaultsport 197 roadcars.
