Small Car Cup

The Most Exciting Touring Car Racing in Australia

Welcome to Small Car Cup, the most exhilarating race category in Australian Touring Car Racing! This isn't just grassroots motorsport at its finest! 

It's the premier Club Level Tin Top Category in Australia.

Entering its seventh year, the series delivers heart-pounding, close racing, fierce competition, and electrifying excitement at a fraction of the cost you'd expect. Small Car Cup series using only 0-1600cc engines and is based on the original Group A regulations from Europe in 1982, with relevant updates for our category.

To be eligible, cars must be produced in a minimum quantity of 5000 units per year. Engine modifications are limited and sensible, while gearboxes and brakes are the homologated units from the manufacturer. The suspension can be upgraded, provided it maintains the road car’s original design and mounting points.

The competition is divided into three classes based on engine kilowatts:

  • Class A: 0-64kW

  • Class B: 65-81kW

  • Class C: 82-88kW

These classes ensure close, thrilling, and friendly competition where race, series, and championship winners can emerge from any class. Small Car Cup proves that the Group A regulations can still work wonders in the modern era, with race cars closely linked to their road car counterparts. These are Touring Cars that look and sound like proper Touring Cars should.

What makes Small Car Cup so special is the rich mix of different makes and models, the great technical variety, close competitor involvement, and strong DNA links with showroom products. Nothing has ever come close to matching this, and we are proof that the Group A regulations can work again in the modern era.

This is a fantastic motorsport series to be involved in, and you don't need to spend large sums of money to do it. Whether you're stepping up from karting, a beginner, or an experienced campaigner, Small Car Cup series will give you maximum fun on a minimum budget.
