Title: 250GP to be added to USGPRU Series in 2003
Post by: USGPRU_Staff on July 05, 2002, 02:36:57 PM
After much internal consideration the USGPRU (a CCS / F-USA affilliate) has decided to add the 250GP class to it's already successful 125GP series for 2003.  

The 2003 series for the 250's will include the same format enjoyed by the 125GP competitors this season with 4-4-4-4 grids, pre-race practice sessions, timed practice and timed qualifying, and full 50km+ race lengths.

Rules will be drafted in the coming month and will likley we wrapped into the existing Technical and Sporting rules no later than August 1st (Available on the website at www.usgpru.org).

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact the USGPRU directly at info@usgpru.org.

All the best,

USGPRU Staff
