Motorsport UK Esports – the officially sanctioned sim racing arm of Motorsport UK – has announced a unique competition.

Starting in March 2026, the British Sim Racing Cup will tour iRacing’s virtual recreations of the United Kingdom’s best tracks. However, in a twist, each round will feature a distinctive car class.

So, alongside the likes of Silverstone, Cadwell Park and Thruxton, will be vehicles such as the FIA F4, the Japanese Super Formula single-seater and the ubiquitous GT3 category.

The championship will be organised by the governing body, with post-race stewarding, plus live coverage produced and broadcast by RaceSpot TV.

Other notable setup factors include a minimum iRacing licence of Class D 2.0, the possibility of rain and one drop round for season-end points calculation. There are different race formats too, such as two 20-minute races for the TCR round or one 45-minute race in GT4.
