Monoposto Racing Club

As of 2010, it is the largest single seater championship in the UK, with over 60 regular race entrants.

[1] Production chassis must be 4 or more years old (unless home designed and built)[2] and use standard road specification iron block engines.

The Championship visits most major UK race tracks, including Silverstone GP, Brands Hatch GP, Snetterton, Donington ParkGP, Oulton Park, Castle Combe, Pembrey and Rockingham.

Approximately ten years ago the club regulations permitted motorcycle engined cars to race as part of the 1800cc class.

At that time the 1000cc & 1400cc grid contained Jedi, re-engined chassis and even one of the Gordon Murray designed, road going, Rockets.

The 1600s are the lowest powered cars in the club, but as thoroughbred single seaters they are by no means slow.

There are few road cars below £60,000 that can keep up with a Mono 1600, and indeed most racing saloons struggle to equal their lap times.

A good case can be made for the Mono 1800 class being the best value class in the Monoposto Championship, this equates to some of the best value racing in the U.K. With 1800cc engines and a minimum weight of 535 kg a power:weight ratio of 250 hp/tonne is common, and makes the cars surprisingly quick.

Maintenance is limited to oil, brake & tyre changes & keeping the battery charged up, the fuel injection, with its pumps consumes a significant amount of electrical energy.

Cars conforming to full Formula Ford Zetec 1800cc specification, with exception of tyres can run in this class or in Mono1800 against modified examples.

The class can claim one of the premier positions in the UK club single seater scene.

Typically this class is dominated by Dallara F3 cars, usually with Vauxhall or Toyota engines running on carburettors as per the regulations rather than the original F3 injection and restrictor.

This limit is intended to maintain parity with carburetted engines, so that those not able or not wanting to use injection can remain fully competitive.
