Hi All,
The Nippon Challenge is an exciting new race series and it has recently come to a close at Brands Hatch. However, its aimed at guys like you. Lower budget racing on an amateur basis. Who know's if you are good enough you may get a sponsor and be able to do it full time. How cool would that be!
"What do you do for a living?"..."I'm a race driver!" lol
There has also been talk of introducing a Nissan Micra class just like the march cup.
Here is the beautiful Lucia Coward introducing the series from Brands Hatch.

Racing summary to follow.
Please forward the links around if you like them, help spread the word about the series and get involved, come and check out a couple of rounds or form a team, it's a really cool bunch of people that race. We are currently trying to get funding for the series so the more views we get the better the chance of getting a title sponsor.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
