Did the new national series of 2023 fly or flop?
The economic conditions in 2023 were not ideal for launching a new club racing series in the UK, but several organizers introduced new categories last season. Evaluating the performance of these new series is complex, considering factors such as entry numbers and the competition pool. Autosport has rated each of the 10 new divisions of 2023, taking into account factors like performance expectations and changes made by organizers for the upcoming season. The Legends Elite Cup received 4 stars for its popularity and the addition of a mini-championship. The Ginetta GT Championship received 2.5 stars due to its low average car numbers and the need for further development. The newly-launched Audi TT Cup Racing received 3 stars, with respectable grids but not meeting initial expectations. Encouragingly, over 40 drivers have registered for this season and 34 signed up for the first round.
