World Championship
Something of a misnomer in that the race has only ever had
entrants from the UK and Europe. Nonetheless there have been
attempts to attract other overseas drivers over the years.
At present the race is probably on par with the European Championship
- the format is exactly the same in that the event is instigated
by the UK club with European drivers invited to take part where
possible. British drivers qualify for the event based on points
scored since the previous running. The top scoring drivers then
start at the front of the grid.
The event was originally conceived by the European promoters
and ran in Holland and Germany for the first three seasons before
alternating with the UK from 1980. When Midget racing to our
specifications ceased in Europe the title was staged yearly
in the UK.
