Race Series News

New Mono Cup to become ‘world’s fastest one-make championship’

British car manufacturer Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has announced the Mono Cup, a new racing series set to take place in the Middle East.

BAC produces road-legal, single-seater supercars – the BAC Mono and BAC Mono R – and the series news comes as the company celebrates its 15th anniversary.

Ian Briggs, BAC co-founder and design director, said, “To announce Mono Cup in the very same week we launched BAC 15 years ago in the UK is highly symbolic. In 2009 our focus – and it remains our mission, in fact – was to offer the world a road-going supercar, precision engineered and uniquely designed, that delivered a behind-the-wheel experience like no other thing on the road. We now take that mission to racing, giving the world the fastest one-make championship.”

Announced at the Seven Concours event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Mono Cup is two years in the making and has involved strategic partnerships and meticulous planning.

In collaboration with BAC Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Arabian Motor Federation (SAMF), Mono Cup will operate on an ‘arrive-and-drive’ basis and will be coordinated by the Saudi Motorsport Company (SMC).

The Mono Cup will commence in winter 2024/25 and run for six months. Jeddah Corniche will serve as the home circuit for the series, with Middle Eastern tracks in Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates featuring. The championship is open to competitors who hold an International C race license, with car setup, management and logistics taken care of by BAC Motorsport and its partners.

Speaking at the Seven Concours, Neill Briggs, BAC co-founder and director of product development, said, “The Mono Cup embodies BAC’s unrelenting dedication to high-performance driving; we are supremely proud that we can now take our values, passion and expertise honed within the automotive arena and apply that to motorsports. Like our road-legal supercars, the Mono Cup car will deliver a driving experience unlike anything else across the world.”

Martin Whitaker, CEO of the Saudi Motorsport Company, added, “Saudi Motorsport is thrilled to partner with BAC on the Mono Cup. In so doing we are expanding the motorsport portfolio in the country and, just as importantly, enhancing its presence across the Middle East.”
