Type R Trophy

The UK's biggest single-make Honda championship; using EP3-generation Civic Type-R models with minimal modifications to create a really cost-effective and hugely competitive formula. Tyres are limited per season and sealed engines have power caps to prevent undue spending.

Engine

Type R Trophy uses the standard Honda K20 engine without unnecessary tuning. Modifications are limited to just induction, exhaust and a sump baffle.

The cars are power tested via TEGIWA/on 750MC's own mobile rolling road, and the engine plus ECU are sealed to prevent undue development and associated costs. Any cars producing more than the nominated maximum in the regulations have to carry a set amount of additional ballast per bhp over the limit, to prevent undue spending.

Suspension

All cars use affordable but high quality Yellow Speed racing premium coilovers. All cars use a bolt-in roll cage.

Brakes

Only brake pad upgrades are permitted, with ABS removed and a bias lever.

Transmission

Standard gearbox with a maintenance-free MFactory helical limited-slip differential.

Tyres

Affordable MRF control tyres are limited in quantity per season to prevent undue competitor spending.

Rounds

Type R Trophy typically features 14 rounds split across six race weekends to maximise track time and value for money.

Costs

Club racing membership is just £95 for 12 months, season registration is £140, and entry fees are typically between £340 and £420 depending on the circuit and double or triple-header. The concise list of controlled build parts mean that eligible cars can be built for as little as £10,000.
