Saleen Returns To Auto Racing With Launch Of Saleen Cup Series
Image
A new single-make series designed to showcase one of the world’s newest turbocharged mid-engine sports cars has just been revealed.
California-based Saleen Automotive has announced it will host the Saleen Cup, a five-event, “arrive-and-drive” race series designed to demonstrate the capabilities of its recently announced Saleen 1 sports car.
The Saleen Cup is being presented via a partnership with SRO Motorsports Group, and will run concurrently with the Blancpain GT World Challenge America. The single-make series invites drivers to be among the first in the world to experience the Saleen 1 on five iconic race tracks throughout the US.
As the first-ever professional quality “arrive-and-drive” series, the five events will be supported by 20 track-ready cars maintained, prepped and transported to race venues by Saleen—offering prospective drivers and enthusiasts a turnkey racing opportunity—and a chance to win a factory seat in Saleen’s GT4 entry throughout the 2020 season.
Gabriele Cadringher recently joined Saleen as director of motorsports and will lead the Saleen Cup. The former technical director and consultant for FIA and Grand-Am will use the five-race events to further hone the track capabilities of the Saleen 1.
The Saleen Cup will consist of five racings scheduled for the second half of the Blancpain GT World Challenge America, and kicks off at Sonoma Raceway in California Wine Country in June. Drivers who are able to compete in the five races through October 20 are now being actively recruited.
