About the RX8 Cup
The RX8 Cup adheres to 3E Production Car specifications, incorporating targeted restrictions to simplify construction and maintenance. Known for its loyal fan base, the series travels to a range of iconic circuits, offering ample on-track action during two or three-day events. Some rounds also feature on the National Motorsport Australia calendar, enhancing the level of competition. As a true single-make category, the RX8 Cup pits driver against driver in evenly matched machinery—making it a genuine proving ground for top-tier talent.
