2011 Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup dates

















Following a cracking inaugural year in 2010, dates have been released for the 2011 VW Scirocco R-Cup, featuring these drop-dead-gorgeous, lean, green racing machines: Scirocco R. The environmentally-sensitive R-Cup will support eight out of 10 of the DTM series' rounds. The season starts and finishes at Hockenheim (April 29-30th and October 21-22nd), with rounds at the Red-Bull Ring at Spielberg (new for 2011), EuroSpeedway, Norisring, Nurburgring, Brands Hatch here in the UK and Oschersleben. Rookie and highly experienced male and female racers from eight different countries will take part, including some top name drivers. The Sciroccos are fuelled by bio-gas – so its clean racing (80% less CO2 than petrol racers), as well as big, highly competitive fun. Drivers can make use of a limited number of 'push-to-pass,' 50PS power boosts, making overtaking a regular event. No wonder an average of 86,000 motorsport fans turned up to spectate the series last year: It's very C21st racing.
