Overclockers UK Racing Series 2016 – Take part in the ultimate challenge!

Entrance into the competition is FREE and the rules are simple.

You will be driving the Renault Clio Cup, BMW M4 GTP, Land Rover Defender, Caterham Pursuit, Ariel Atom, Palmer JP-LM, and Formula 3000! Not to mention you’ll get to go-kart too!

In the grand finals there will be nine competitors, which will be the fastest three drivers in the Formula 3000 at each PalmerSport track day. In round one, S. Ashbourne came first with the incredible time of 1:19.22, A. Lim came second with 1:20.35 and E.Cumming was third with 1:21.18. Check out their response to the experience in the video below! The Grand Final will take place at the end of summer 2017 and will again be a PalmerSport track day.
