The STR Cup, inspired by the legendary Australian V8 Supercars is a new exciting series which will see Vauxhall VXR Corsa's and VXR Astra's competing head-to-head alongwith the VXR V8 (the Aussie V8 Supercar) in this one make series.  The Series is unique as drivers can progress through the VXR classes to ultimately race the VXR V8 Supercar or can race a specific model VXR.

The Series is attracting substantial media interest and we are proud to have full support from Vauxhall UK, Cosworth and KW Suspension.

The overall aim is to make this series as big in the UK as it is in Australia, and to make this one of the fairest Series in the calendar by placing the emphasis on the drivers race abilities and not how much money they are prepared to put in (so we can stop cheque book racing!).

The STR V8 Class in particular, aims to provide a financially viable route for V8 enthusiasts who want to experience the fun and excitement, horsepower, sound and challenges of a low grip, rear wheel drive fast muscle car. We have had a huge amount of input from a number of Aussie V8 teams to ensure that we retain the exciting features which the V8’s have built up a reputation for.

More detailed information about the Series is available under "information".  Alternatively you can email reception@str.gb.com or call 01603 62 66 68 if you have specific questions / queries.
