Trofeo Abarth 500 GB
Car racing doesn’t have to be all about big V8 monsters roaring around a track. In fact, nimbler, more agile cars can often provide more entertainment for your money and none prove this more than the exciting Abarth Trofeo race series.
The series, which starts with its first rounds over the Easter weekend (3 and 5 April), features Abarth’s potent new 500 Assetto Corse race cars. Dates for the Trofeo Abarth 500 GB were recently announced and include rounds at some of Britain’s best-known circuits, beginning with the Easter races at Oulton Park, Cheshire.
Powered by a 1368cc 16-valve turbocharged engine, the 970kg Trofeo 500 race cars develop 190bhp at 6500rpm and torque of 300Nm at 3000rpm to achieve dramatic performance on the track.
The new Trofeo Abarth 500 GB series calendar is as follows:
* 3 April – Oulton Park
* 18 April – Silverstone
* 23 May – Cadwell Park (also features British Superbikes on the same bill)
* 27 June – Snetterton
* 25 July – Silverstone
* 5 September – Brands Hatch
* 24 October – Monza
