Supercars – Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship
0-60Mph in 1.9 seconds!

Supercars is the top level of the sport and is where you will find the four-wheel drive cars for which Rallycross is best known. These are serious race cars; faster than a F1 to 60mph, the general rule of thumb is that if you need to ask how much it costs you probably can’t afford it!

Supernationals – MSA Supernational Rallycross Championship

Supernational is for two-wheel drive cars. There are few restrictions to how far these cars can be modified and tuned. There is a minimum weight limit of 800kg (including driver) and the engine must have the same number cylinders as the original car and remain in the original position.

Junior and Senior Swifts – Swift Sport Rallycross Championship & MSA Junior Rallycross Championship

Perfect starting block for Rallycross, the very popular Suzuki Swift one-make saloon class runs alongside the MSA British rallycross championship. Based on the three-door Suzuki Swift, cars in the new series use a 160bhp, 1600cc/16v engine that has tightly controlled regulations so that the cars are equal and it is driver ability that shows through. Junior racers are able to compete between the ages of 14-17. The main benefit of the junior swift car is the ability to make the transition to seniors once the maximum age of the junior driver has been reached by making a straight forward engine change from the 1300 to 1600 engine.

Hot Hatch – Hot Hatch Rallycross Championship

One of the new classes joining The British Championship in 2011. The Hot Hatch category is for 1600cc 16V production cars with model restricted to not more than 10 years old.
