Radical Canada has announced the establishment of the 2013 Radical Canada Championship. Run in conjunction with the Canadian Automobile Sports Club (CASC-OR) and open to all Radicals, the Championship builds on the successful history of one make championships in Canada and Radical series around the world.

"With Radical series being very popular around the globe - from Europe to the U.S. to Australia - there is no reason to believe it won't be popular in Canada as well," says Radical Canada executive Robert Burgess.

Starting May 4th at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, the Championship will run with the Formula Libra group at all seven 2013 CASC events (see below for complete schedule).

Each race weekend will consist of practice, qualifying sessions and three 20-minute races, as well a test day held the Friday before each event. Participants will have the option of running just one day or having two drivers attend an event.

"There are approximately 20 Radicals in Canada already so we are also creating a new opportunity for those existing Radical owners to have a fun and competitive forum to enjoy their cars,” says Burgess. “Once people get a sense of how awesome the cars are I'm sure the series will grow quickly."

The season Champion will receive $2,500 worth of credit to be spent on Radical Canada parts and services (with $1,000 and $500 going to the second and third place drivers respectively). Championship points will be awarded based on the CASC-OR point system, with 30 going to the winner and points being paid down to the 15th place finisher.

All participating cars must conform to the CASC-OR General Competition Rules (GCR) and have a valid 2013 tech inspection. Each driver must also have a valid CASC-OR racing license.
