The Only Racing Championship Dedicated To The MG Metro
The Championship is the MG Car Club's one-make racing formula for all types of MG Metro. Started in 1991, the Championship has been successful in maintaining it's objective of providing an easy way into motor racing for drivers with a limited budget.
The series attracts a varied selection of drivers, from those who have competed for several seasons to absolute novices. This obviously provides a good environment for those finding their way in circuit racing, as the more experienced competitors are always willing to offer help and advice to the newcomer. In terms of mechanical expertise, the drivers range from those who have built their cars from the shell upwards, to those who have little mechanical knowledge but who have a strong desire to race. One advantage of a single make formula is the wealth of specialised information that it fosters and the way that information is shared between competitors, and this certainly applies in the case of the Drayton Manor Park MG Metro Cup.
DRAYTON MANOR FAMILY THEME PARK
The championship has been sponsored for many years now by the DRAYTON MANOR FAMILY THEME PARK AND ZOO. This is a family run concern and is one of the top four leisure and theme parks in the UK. Our sponsors bring with them a huge amount of enthusiasm and Colin Bryan, the Managing Director, has been instrumental in the success of this exciting series.
