The Fun Cup

 

The Fun Cup Series started in Belgium in 1997 by a touring car veteran, with rather simple rules to follow. The cars are mostly identical, tube-steel frame Beetle replicas with fiberglass bodies and a 2.0-liter VW engine in the middle. They run on E85 and the rear wheels are driven via a sequential gearbox. 150 horsepower, race brakes and fully adjustable suspension.

 

There are national series competed in the UK, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Canary Islands, but the pinnacle event of the season is the 25 Hours at Spa, a very challenging endurance race where two drivers share the car instead of three like in Le Mans.
