2010 AROC Chris Knott Sprint Cup
Get your Alfa on track with the most cost effective way to get into motor racing for the Alfa Romeo Owner and driver! New for 2010 is a cost effective and easy way to bring your Alfa Romeo to the track and compete against other drivers with the all new AROC Chris Knott Sprint Cup. The series will be run as a series of sprints focusing on grass roots competition with minimal risk by running a set number of timed laps, similar to the way in which a super pole session is run. The classes and regulations are structured to encourage standard road cars into the event as there is no roll cage, race seat or fixed fire extinguisher requirement for the standard/classic classes. Allowances have been made so that heavily modified or race prepared cars can also be entered.
What people are saying about the series:
"We had an excellent fun filled day of motor sport with friendly fellow car nuts and officials who for once seemed to understand that motor sport is for fun".
"For a fun day out grab a helmet and bring yourself a friend and your car and help bring motor sport back to the masses at a grass root level for affordable costs".
"This is so much more than a trackday, before I just drove round and round, now I've got something to aim for!"
Classes
There are four distinct classes and prizes will be awarded to the top three drivers in each class:
Class A: Modified/Race 4 cylinder / Modified/Race 6, 6+ cylinder & Forced Induction
Class B: Modified/Road 4 cylinder / Modified/Road 6 cylinder & Forced Induction
Class C: Standard/Road 4 cylinder / Standard/Road 6 cylinder & Forced Induction
Class D: Classic 4 cylinder / Classic 6, 6+ cylinder & Forced Induction
The laps will be timed and compared to everyone else’s in your class and prizes and championship points will be awarded. Licensing for drivers is provided by the IOPD so a full “traditional race licence” is not required. Drivers will have to meet the minimum entry standards but usually anyone with a full Uk or equivalent driving licence held for more than 3 years will be entitled to enter.
The series will be limited to 4 competitive events for its first year with the option for competitors to take part in a test day prior to commencement of the full series.

Rules/Regulations Update
An agreed change to the rules has been made which makes the series more appealing to those with modified cars:
“For Class B a fixed fire extinguisher and race suit is required if the fuel system has been modified/altered, if any of the interior trim has been removed or any of the manufacturers safety devices have been altered”.
(The series organisers recommend that a fire extinguisher is fitted/carried and an aproved race suit is worn even though it isn’t a specific requirement for certain classes).
