The Dunlop Tuscan Challenge

The Dunlop Tuscan Challenge is undoubtedly one of the most thrilling premier racing championships in the UK. The series has proved a huge success since being established in 1989 and has been the proving ground for many drivers who have gone on to become well known competitors in LMES FIA GT and Le Mans 24heures.
With the fastest racing sports cars to compete on UK circuits, and the
lure of the much-lusted TVR marque, it is no wonder that the series
attracts crowds numbering tens of thousands. This cocktail commands
attention at the highest levels in the world of racing. It has attracted
many appearances from great names such as Tiff Needell, Tim Harvey
and even our very own Formula One Champion, Nigel Mansell.
The Challenge is run by the prestigious British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC) and is coordinatedby Readman Racing. It is supported by four main sponsors; Dunlop Tyres, Royal Purple Oils, Jays Racewear and the TVR Car Club. Along with this sponsorship, the series is televised thanks to AMGTV’s Race and Rally UK show being screened on both Sky’s Motors TV
and Channel 5.
The 2006 season consists of ten race weekends opening and closing at Oulton Park in Cheshire, visiting the fastest circuits in the UK and the infamous Spa Francorchamps, home to
the Belgian Grand Prix. The series is billed with other prestigious racing events such as Saloon Car, Porsche Open, GT, Formula Ford and Formula 3 Champioships.
