BSCV8: New UK series 2004 schedule announced

Monday 1 December 2003 - Supercar Promotions Limited (SPL) have today
announced the following provisional calendar for the inaugural season of
the exciting all-new SCV8 Supercar Championship.

Visiting the major circuits of the UK covering the South East, Midlands,
West Country, Norfolk, the North, North West and Scotland, motorsport
fans will have the opportunity to witness the sights and sounds of an
eager grid of established stars and young guns in their 550bhp, V8, RWD
racing saloons. The cars will represent their mid-range 4 door cousins
from currently, Jaguar, Peugeot, Honda, and Vauxhall with two further
manufacturers to be announced shortly and compete in championship races
where the results will be totally unpredictable.

SPL are now completing negotiations with organisers of supporting race
championships and the full event timetable and content of each event
programme will be announced shortly.

The all-new championship is a landmark for British Motorsport as it is
set to generate over  £15m for the British Motorsport Industry. With over
90% British component content and a 100% British build programme the
series will generate over  £5m of capital spend on race cars and engines,
securing jobs in the motorsport industry when appointed SCV8 teams
commence assembly of the rear wheel drive saloon cars during the coming
winter period. In addition, with sponsorship and driver budgets a further
 £10m plus will be created over the first three seasons totalling in
excess of  £15m, making the series a welcome boost to a sport which is
currently seeking additional funding.
