Midlands Centre poised to kick-start 2025 BARC Speed campaign
The British Automobile Racing Club Midlands Centre has put together an exciting collection of events for the 2025 BARC Speed Championship season with 24 rounds ready and waiting for entries across a plethora of iconic venues in England and Wales.
The BARC Speed Championship is designed for low-cost, easily accessible motorsport with the emphasis of inclusion for all, as the series is aimed at creating an enjoyable, engaging and truly competitive environment for seasoned drivers, as well those starting out on their motorsport journey.
The championship format is one car at a time, racing against the stopwatch rather than cars together, fighting for the same piece of track. Competitors can enter all 24 events, but they can pick and choose up to eight rounds to count towards the final award of which two must be sprint, two hillclimb and one organised event by the BARC Midlands Centre.
Scoring is based on established class records, thus providing the opportunity for all competitors to accumulate points. Whether you are in standard road cars or top-end single seaters, everyone has a fair chance of taking home a prize. Venues range from sprint courses, hillclimbs and circuit based events to provide a real variety for the drivers across the campaign.
Old favourites such as Cadwell Park, Prescott and Gurston Down are joined by some new or returning events in 2025. One of Britain’s oldest hillclimb venues Shelesely Walsh is on the billing twice, while a new location in the breath-taking Epynt Hillclimb joins the itinerary this year.
The 2025 season for the BARC Speed Championship gets underway at Cadwell Park on the 29 March - with full details available at the BARC Midlands Centre website - www.barc-midlands.co.uk 2025 BARC Speed Championship Championship Calendar Round 1 - 29th March - Cadwell Park Rounds 2-3 - 5th/6th April - Trac Mon Anglesey Rounds 4-5 - 26th/27th April - Gurston Down Rounds 6 - 3rd May - Shelsley Walsh Rounds 7-8 - 17th/18th May - Loton Park Rounds 9-10 - 7th/8th June - Pembrey Rounds 11-12 - 14th/15th June - Epynt Hillclimb Rounds 13-14 - 28th/29th June - Curborough Rounds 15-16 - 5th/6th July - Harewood Round 17 - 20th July - Prescott Rounds 18-19 - 23rd/24th August - Snetterton Round 20 - 7th September - Hethel Round 21 - 13th September - Shelsley Walsh Round 22 - 27th September - Goodwood Rounds 23-24 - 27th-28th September - Blyton Park
