Dunlop are to support the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) organized Great and British Festival package for a further three seasons, and three leading UK Championships have committed to be a core part of the programme for the next three seasons till 2012.

The Radical Championships, Mini Challenge and the BARC Dunlop Sport Maxx Production Cup have proved to be popular with competitors and spectators alike, and will form the core content on the package for a further three seasons. The package was launched in 2006 with the mission of ‘putting national racing back on the map’ and has carved its place in the UK motorsport hierarchy, complementing the TOCA British Touring Car Championship package that is also supported by Dunlop and organized by BARC.

Dennis Carter BARC “Being able to put this package together with the help and support of Dunlop has resulted in being able to elevate and showcase various championships in a manner that otherwise would not be possible.”

James Bailey, Dunlop: “To have a three-year commitment from three of the UK’s best national championships is a sign that the Dunlop Great and British package can continue to grow. This agreement will take us through to the seventh year of our partnership with the BARC in 2012 and proves that such a stable, well organized and promoted package is able to entice ambitious, professionally run championships on board.”

Paul Harvey: Mini Challenge: “To have unanimous commitment to the future of the Dunlop Great & British package until 2012 from all the core members this early is excellent news. The MINI Challenge can confidently push ahead with its plans for the future with the stability of a package that is now considered TOCA’s successful younger brother.”
