The IPKC are pleased to announce the very first (hopefully an annual event) Independents Cup in collaboration with LMR50!
The event is a celebration of the privateer driver and a showcase of exactly what they can do whilst maintaining the ethos of the much loved IPKC.
Hosted at the ever popular, drivers favourite, Whilton Mill, privateer drivers from across the UK will pit themselves against each other with a vision to take home the accolade that is the IPKC Independents Cup!
With ages from young to senior, a wide variety of drivers will be hitting the tarmac against each other without the overwhelming presence of race teams.
A true showcase of the independent privateer driver, we are extremely excited to see you leave it all hanging out on circuit!

The event will run over 2 days, July 13^th & 14^th, with plenty of practice opportunity with the added bonus of an optional Friday practice kindly hosted by Whilton Mill themselves. Join us for an epic weekend of privateer racing and emerge victorious as the 2024 IPKC top independent driver! With prizes, raffles & giveaways, we are sure that this event will be one to be remembered.
