Spec racing

Spec racing


One-make racing (known as spec racing in North America) is a racing category in which all competitors race in identical or very similar vehicles from the same manufacturer, often using the same model. Typically, this means the same chassis, tyres and engine are used by all drivers. The idea behind one-make racing is that success will be based more on driver skill and car setup instead of engineering skill and budget. One-make series are popular at an amateur level as they are affordable, due to the use of a common engine and chassis.

Examples of one-make racing from around the world include Radical European Masters, John Cooper Mini Challenge and Commodore Cup. There are also various formulae categories that utilise one-make racing, such as Formula Renault and the Formula Car Challenge
