The Monoposto Racing Club welcomes entries from other championships, from the UK or from overseas. We offer a guest entry option for drivers which may be ideal.

For overseas drivers, we understand that the allure of racing on some of the famous UK circuits such as Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Donington Park or Oulton Park may feature on their personal ambition lists of circuits to drive, so if we can help facilitate that dream we will. We can also give advice on customs requirements as well as advising on any technical or licensing matters, and may well be able to make introductions to UK teams who could store or assist with preparation and transportation if needed.

Whilst there are some who may wish to hire a car, others may wish to use their own car, so below are some guidance notes concerning cars which run in other championships and series.

All our classes have weight limits and are subject to a minimum ride height of 40mm. We require a high intensity flashing rain light and all cars have to pass a 108 db(A) static noise test. Fire extinguishers and seatbelts have to be dated correctly, and race apparal needs to comply with UK standards.

Cars wearing tobacco sponsorship should be disguised or covered over unless it can be proven beyond doubt that that particular car wore that livery in period.

Please note that for most of our events, we use a standing start procedure rather than a rolling start. Drivers who are not comfortable with a standing start, may elect to start from the pit lane at the back of the grid. Our Silverstone GP event uses a rolling start, that is because with a grid of up to 54 cars, an accident due to a stalled car could be a big one.

Depending on which event you choose, there will be a qualifying session of at least 15 minutes, and two races, each at least 15 minutes in length. Sometimes there are three races of 15 minutes length.

The information below should be correct at time of writing (May 2026)

Austria F3 Formel Cup – currently cars up to 2011 from your Formula 3 Trophy class would be permitted. The Dallara F312 is not currently permitted except by invitation in our Autumn Championship. For eligible cars you will need to comply with the minimum ride height and silencing requirements which established UK teams / car owners can help by supplying extended turnbuckles and other hardware.

Australian Formula Open – many of your cars would fit into one of our existing classes. F3 cars with an inlet restrictor may need to reduce the diameter of the restrictor slightly – eg a F3 engine at 26mm would run with a 25mm restrictor.

Australian Hyper Racer X1 – The rear wing width on a Australia specification Hyper Racer does not comply with Motorsport UK’s technical regulations. Hyper Racer have produced a UK specific rear wing assembly which complies.

BOSS Ireland – cars from the BOSS2 categories (engines up to 2.0 litres) would probably fall into either our F3A, F3B, 2000, 2000 Classic or 1800 classes depending on the nature of the car. The newest car currently eligible in Mono F3A is a 2011 Formula 3 car. Engines have to either be ‘standard’ F3 or a road specification engine with standard internals. The only turbocharged cars permetted are the FIA F4 Gen 1 Tatuus and Mygale.

Cars from BOSS3 category (engines up to 1600cc) would fall into Moto1000 or Moto1400 if the engine is from a motorcycle, or into Mono1600 or Mono1800 if a car based engine (eg Formula Ford Kent).

The Leastone Racing team in Co. Kildare have supported Monoposto for many seasons and can probably offer logistics guidance too.

Classic F3 Association – Class A – 2000cc F3 cars would fit into our Mono Classic class. Cars with mechanical fuel injection should run with a 25mm restrictor. Cars with electronic fuel injection run with a 24mm restrictor. Minimum weight including driver is 560kgs.

Danmark Formel 5 Championship – see other Formula Ford Championships

F1000 (Formula Jedi) – Our Moto1000 and your regulations are already fairly closly aligned. Please note that currently our minimum weight is 10kgs heavier than yours.

Formula Gulf Acadamy – the Ralph Firman designed Van Diemen chassis with motorcycle engine has already run in Monoposto, and whilst Formula Gulf Acadamy is currently on hold, owners could race the cars in Moto1000 with minor updates for compliance.

other Formula Ford championships
– cars running the standard 1600cc Kent engine would run in Mono1600.
– cars running the standard 1800cc Zetec engine would run in Mono1800 or 2000 depending on spec.
– cars running the standard 2000cc Zetec engine would run in Mono2000.
– cars running the standard 1600cc Duratec engine would run in Mono1800.
– cars running the standard 1600cc Ecoboost engine would run in Mono2000.
– cars running the standard 2000cc Pinto engine would run in Mono1800.

Engines modified further may well be accepted (ask, don’t assume) but may be moved into a higher class.

other Formula Renault championships (Formule Renault Historic & Classic)
– cars running the standard 1750cc engine would run in Mono1600.
– cars running thr standard 2000cc from 1999 or earlier would run in Mono2000 (tubular chassis)
– cars running the standard 2000cc engine from 2000 onwards would run in Mono F3B or F3A (Tatuus carbon chassis). F3B with restrictor, F3A without.
– cars running the K4M 1598cc engine would need some discussions over which class it could run in (most probably Mono2000 or Mono1800)

Historic Formula Ford 2000 – your Historic FF2000 cars would run in Mono1800 at 535kgs

Historic Monoposto Racing (NL) – A standard FF2000 car would run in Mono1800. A standard FF1600 cars would run in Mono1600 and your F3 Championship would run in Mono2000 Classic although restrictor sizes would need checking.

Italian F2000 championship – selected cars up to 2012 currently running in your Gold or Silver classes could be run our Monoposto championship. Restrictor sizing may need to be reduced to comply with our rules.

Other cars – please ask for guidance and acceptance.

Alongside the racing, the Monoposto Racing Club is proud to support charities and organisations that make a real difference to people’s lives.

We’re pleased to have made a donation to the British Heart Foundation as part of our ongoing commitment to giving something back through our racing community. £ 650.00 from our 2025 fundraising.

Thank you to our members, racers, volunteers and supporters who help make initiatives like this possible throughout the season.

The Monoposto Racing Club has confirmed the recipients of its annual community charity fund, continuing an initiative that began five years ago to give back to motorsport and local communities connected to its race calendar.

The scheme invites drivers to make voluntary donations at the point of race entry, supported by additional fundraising efforts throughout the season. The Club also commits 10 per cent of its annual trading surplus to the fund. Together, these contributions typically raise around £1,500 per year.

Over the past five years, MRC has donated to a range of motorsport and wider charities, including the British Motorsport Marshals Club, Race Against Dementia, Macmillan Cancer Support, Cancer Research UK and regional Air Ambulance services.

In its 2026 charitable allocation, the following charities or initiatives based close to circuits will share available funds with the British Heart Foundation which Club members have voted to support. The majority of the local charities have been nominated by the circuits.

Circuit nominations received to date are as follows:

Anglesey – Anglesey Hawks Wheelchair Basketball. The circuit’s manager has also committed to personally matching Monoposto’s donation to her alternative local charity.

Cadwell Park – Cadwell Marshals Club, a small independent group of volunteer marshals.

Castle Combe – Friends of Bybrook Valley School, local to the circuit

Donington Park – Propose supporting a local Scout or Girlguiding group.

Silverstone – Supporting the Silverstone Community Hall refurbishment appeal by purchasing an inscribed brick.

Snetterton – The Garnier Hall and Social Club in Eccles, currently closed and fundraising for a rebuild.

Thruxton – Finding Freedom from Abuse, Andover.

Monoposto President, David Cox: ‘Circuits that submitted nominations have formally acknowledged and welcomed the initiative, praising the Club’s commitment to supporting grassroots organisations and community projects alongside its racing activities.’

Racing is at the heart of what we do, but community also matters.

Monoposto Racing Club has confirmed the eligibility of FIA Formula 4 Gen 1 machinery within its championship, reinforcing a clear and cost-controlled route for modern single-seaters to compete in the UK. Approved cars must comply with FIA F4 Technical Regulations and remain in original championship specification, subject to Monoposto technical regulations.

Technical Director, Terry Clark: “The introduction of these F4 chassis is a natural fit for Monoposto. Our championship has always thrived on competitive mixed multiclass racing where different generations of single-seaters share the same track and every driver has something to fight for. Adding F4 cars to our 2000 class brings more modern performance and technical relevance into a grid that already celebrates diversity in engineering and driver ambition. It reinforces Monoposto as the place where single seaters belong.”

Eligible chassis include the Mygale M16-F4 and Tatuus T014 F4 from the 2014–2021 British and FIA F4 championships, along with the Mygale M12-SJ, M13-SJ and Tatuus FA010. 

This provides owners of FIA F4 Gen 1 cars with a straightforward, regulated pathway into Monoposto competition, maintaining technical consistency while supporting accessible, high performance single-seater racing.

MSVR will be holding their annual Season Launch day on Tuesday 10^th February 2026 at Donington Park (National) for an unsilenced day and we have been invited to take some cars along.
 
This event provides an opportunity to showcase our club and the different cars we run, whilst providing those in attendance with free track time to test their car before the start of the season.
 
The day’s format will feature time for both the photography and track sessions with plenty of time for you to shake your car down ready for the new season.
 
If you would be interested in attending, please email me back with details of the car you would like to bring.
 
If there is more interest than space available we may select which cars can take the places to best represent the club and our spread of cars.

Priority will be given to those signed up for the 2026 championship.
