Get ready – the Friday Power League is back for another action-packed season of close racing, great atmosphere, and legendary pit banter! Now heading into Season 7, the FPL continues to grow as one of the most exciting club-level series around.
This year, we’re sticking with the tried-and-tested FPL7 format but adding a few fresh twists to keep things fun and competitive. As always, our main class will be Stock Touring Car 17.5, with no major rule changes – just great racing, week in, week out.
This season introduces the brand-new Team Championship – a fun and competitive way to race as a duo. Open to any two drivers taking part in the league championships.
Simply pair up and register your team name before the season begins. Team points will be calculated using your individual league results – so mixed ability teams have a real chance to shine! Run the same livery on both cars and earn extra team points.
The Team Championship is sponsored by RC Club Hub. It brings a new layer of fun, strategy, and community to the series. RC Club Hub will be provide a pair of t-shirts from their collection for the winners. Time to find your teammate and get your paint scheme sorted!
Trophies and prizes will be up for grabs for both individual league winners and the top-scoring team – so whether you're a solo driver or part of a crew, there's plenty to race for.
