We start the engines for the 16th season of the Panattoni Carboniacup

The winter break in motorsport is slowly ending and we are returning to what we enjoy or find fulfilling in life.
The next, 16th racing season is about to start, which is the result of a lot of work by the organizers and the organizing team, to whom we owe a big thank you for the series lasting so long and especially to you drivers for still driving and creating this motorsport family. The Autodrom in Most will welcome the drivers after the winter rest and improving their racing techniques this Sunday, April 12th, named after the guarantor of the day who donated funds, so the first race will be called Brian James Racing Day.

And there will be interesting machines at the start again, from classic touring series cars, touring cars, prototypes and formula. So far, we have more than 108 racing machines and drivers registered. Come and cheer them on, the depot and grandstand will be open with passes, free admission, as usual.
