Uniroyal Fun CupThe races usually last between three and six hours, with one hour qualifying beforehand. The grid positions are normally made up from a ballot rather than times set in qualifying. Each race is split into sections of between 40 and 50 minutes, at the end of which there is a ‘pit stop window’ when each car must stop and may refuel. When in the pits, the driver must get out and either run round the car and get back in again, or be replaced by another driver. The cars are single-seaters with a strong tubular steel chassis, mildly modified Audi/VW 1.8-litre engines and gearbox, race brakes and fully adjustable suspension. Over it all is draped a VW Beetle look-alike glass fibre body.
