2012 U-Con Formula-D Racing Series Cup

Posted on Posted in Events Tagged with ,

Four available Races on three different days will determine the overall champion for the racing series.

Get ready to push your engine to its limit, to hug the curves in the tight corners, but also to keep up with your opponents to take advantage of the air flow and pass them to win… Taking risks and planning ahead are two qualities you’ll need as a pilot if you want to stand on the highest step of the podium!

Formula-D is a car race.  The aim is to win a two lap race and be the first to cross the finishing line.  There are all sorts of risks involved and you have to anticipate what will happen during the course of the race.  You must decide on your strategy, trust your luck, keep to the rules and always keep an eye on the technical condition of your car.

Come join us throughout the weekend for some racing fun and see if you can be the first ever U-Con Racing Series Cup Champion.  Help start the tradition of racing fun at U-Con.
