A SELECTION of the world’s most exotic sports cars will be on show on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit this weekend with more than 300 competitors across seven of MSVR’s flagship championships and series set to take part.

Spectacular Porsches, Ferraris, BMWs and TVRs will make up the grid for the GT Cup championship’s two races on Sunday.

Andy Ruhan leads the standings going into the meeting at the 2.3-mile circuit after recording a win and a fourth place finish at the last round at Oulton Park.

But the Porsche 997 driver isn’t running away with the championship and holds a narrow 12-point lead from David Tomlin, driving a Ferrari 430.

The GT Cup Championship will contest two sprint races on Sunday with qualifying on Saturday.

The Radical UK Cup and Radical Clubman’s Cup will host six races in total.

Bumper grids are expected as the UK Cup competitors will be joined by cars from the Euro masters series for the event.

An estimated 90 Radical cars are set to contest the meeting and the demand has forced the introduction of two specific races for the SR3 and SR8 versions of the sports car. David Thorburn and Rob Wheldon currently hold a three point lead from the Marks Electrical car of Mark Smithson and Stuart Moseley in the Supersport Class of the UK Cup.

The pair will be set to do battle in two 40 minute endurance races, involving a pit-stop and driver change. Manhal Allos leads the masters class.

In the Radical Clubman’s Cup, James Abbott stretched his lead after recording his second win of the season at Oulton Park last month.

Nearest rivals David Jacobs and Nick Panteli will have their eyes fixed on victory to reel him in.

The fast and furious nature of the MINI Challenge will be one of the highlights of the event, as they embark on their third round of the season.

Celebrating its 10th year, the MINI Challenge is open to three variants of the modern version of the car.

The premier JCW category will see former British Touring Car drivers Martin Depper and Arthur Forster among a competitive field of 220 bhp MINIs vying for the top step of the podium. Formula Ford single-seaters will also entertain as the champion of Brands series visits the full GP circuit for the first time this season.

Neil Alberico won the opening race of the year on the Indy circuit in May and the American is set to be among a healthy grid for this weekend.

Josh Barnett holds the champion status heading into the meeting after recording a hard-fought win on the Brands Indy circuit at the masters historic festival last weekend.

Also joining the action will be the Production BMW championship and the Project 8 Racing Saloons.

The Production BMW championship will see a packed grid of saloons constructed from 1983-1990.

More than 70 cars have been entered for the event which will include an eclectic mix of Jaguars, Fords, BMWs, Renaults and a Hillman Imp.

Both the Production BMW championship and Project 8 Racing Saloons are expected to feature grids of 44 cars. Tickets for the MSVR Club Car Championships at Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit on June 4 and June 5 are available for £13 on the gate for adults with free admission for children aged 12 and under.
