Hi everyone - for those who dont know me, I'm Kris from R-Motion who organises the series!
For anyone interested in joining the series, there is lts of information on the website (Honda VTEC Challenge Race Series) and also on the forum where most of the chat goes on (Vtec Challenge Forum • Index page).
2012 Class Structure
The classes last year were left quite open - it was a new series and we didnt know what kind of cars we would attract. We have streamlined the classes for this year to make it more competative for standardish cars to compete so essentially an S2000 would be in production class (against DC2s, EP3s, DC5s etc) so would be very competative.
For the more extreme cars (forged engines and engine swapped cars, we have a tuner class)
If you need any more info on costs or what it takes to prep a car, just fire away. In the mean time here are the details of the new classes for 2012:
Classes will be...........Production 1600 , Production, Tuner and Super Tuner (4 simple classes)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Production 1600 - Cars with engine of same series and capacity as that originaly fitted to that model/shape of car up to 1599cc. Engine modifications (e.g. cams, ECU) are free but
a) pistons must be a Honda production cast piston
b) Engines must run a single plenum throttle body (i.e. no individual throttle bodies
Production - cars with engine of same series & capacity as that originally fitted to that model/shape of car .from 1599cc upto 2300cc. Engine modifications (e.g. cams, ECU) are free but

b) Engines must run a single plenum throttle body (i.e. no individual throttle bodies)
There is No minimum weight for '1600' and' production' class

Minimum weight 1000kgs
All engine modifications are free.
âVTEC Challengeâ is also pleased to announce that âHELâ brake lines are returning as a series sponsor for the 2012 season, and with them they are bringing a whole host of offers to everyone who raceâs in the VTC.
âHELâ will be offering all confirmed competitors a huge saving off the retail cost of any bespoke brake line system. Although the specifications and prices will vary accordingly from car to car due to the custom nature of the work, each driver will benefit hugely from the savings.
In addition to this, anything else available from âHELâsâ extensive catalogue such as oil coolers, fuel hose, oil hose, silicone hose will be offered with up to 40% off the RRP's as well. Great savings for anyone finishing off their race car build or upgrading for the 2012 season.
Last but not least, for those of you venturing out on track next year, HEL are also generously supplying one lucky driver from each round with a £100 voucher that can be spent on any product stocked by them.
We look forward to a successful campaign during 2012, and continuing our relationship with Ben and everyone at HEL.
