Monoposto Racing Club


The Monoposto Racing Club is a single seater, open-wheeled motor racing club in the United Kingdom. Its members race a variety of single seater race cars ranging from 600cc Jedi's to 2000cc Formula Three and Formula Renault cars. Monoposto is Italian for 'Single Seater'. As of 2010, it is the largest single seater championship in the UK, with over 60 regular race entrants.

Production chassis's must be 3 or more years old (unless home designed and built) and utilise standard road specification iron block engines.

It has several classes of cars: 1000, 1400, 1600, 1800, Classic2000, and 2000; these are based primarily on the maximum permitted engine size, but also engine tuning freedom, chassis age and chassis materials. Most race meetings have the six classes spread over two grids, with the 1000 and 1400 cars on one, and the 2000 and Classic2000 cars on another. The 1600 and 1800 classes are alternated between the two, either together or independently, depending on the circuit and expected entry numbers.

Termed 'The Friendly Club', the Monoposto Racing Club encourages both novice and experienced drivers to take part - indeed, novice drivers are made especially welcome, and competitors are usually more than willing to lend a hand (or tools) in the paddock to make a repair or adjustment, or to simply give advice. This is summed up nicely in the club profile.

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