Race Car Live - 2009

Fantastic interest in series, with many new registrations..

On 21/22 November the CSL Cup invited a few drivers & their friends to Brands Hatch to showcase the series and raise the profile of the new E36 / E92 classes. 2009 Series Winner Dan Stringfellow was in attendance with his E46 M3. Anthony Howarth had his E36 M3 on display, giving passenger rides and demonstrations throughout the weekend. Thorney Motorsport provided 2 E46 M3's of John Thorne and Mark Steward, along with pit support for the CSL Cup guys.

The weekend saw a return of John Thorne piloting his M3 on circuit. This was the first outing for him since his high speed crash at Silverstone back in September during a test day.

Comments throughout the weekend were of the value of the series. With registration costing £275, and event entry fees of £450-550 (Depending on circuit) if you have an M3 Track / Race car of any description it could take less than you think to get you on the grid in May.

We could not believe the amount of interest in the series after chatting with West Suffolk Racing & AJEC Racing who are keen to enter with E36 & E46 cars. The grid for 2010 is looking very strong, and this before registrations are accepted! We anticipate 8-10 E46's, 8-10 E36's and 2-3 E92 M3's which, given the quality of racing in 2009, should mean exceptional viewing at every round. The calendar has 7 confirmed rounds, with the 8th and unconfirmed event at Donington in September. The biggest media change for 2010 is the inclusion of the CSL Cup in the Television coverage of the Dunlop Great & British - with LIVE TV at selected rounds.

The CSL Cup will be exhibiting at the Autosport Show at the NEC in January, where we expect all details of the series to be confirmed.
