The OT Coupe Cup with Toyo Tires is one of the UK's most action-packed racing series. We are a single-make series, with four different generations of the 2-litre Hyundai Coupe currently competing on our grids, all of which are built to ensure equal performance using control parts, and a budget-friendly approach.

 

The series began in 2013, founded by Jon Winter and was partnered with the already established MR2 Racing Series and Tricolore Trophy. As grid numbers increased for the 2016 season, the Coupe Cup completed it's first season solo, across seven rounds. The Coupe Cup was now growing immensely, and with amazing racing at low prices, it was easy to see why.

​

Great races came and went throughout the years, supporting large events such as the British Truck Racing Championship and the British Endurance Championship. Racing in the Coupe Cup is as close as you can get, but with a friendly paddock of teams and drivers, there is no animosity off track! 

​

Initially, only Gen1 and Gen2 Coupes were eligible to race in the series; however, all that changed in 2019 when Jon Winter developed the Gen3. Despite being an inherently heavier car, Jon managed to make the car competitive, ensuring anyone who bought one would be able to race with the Gen1 and Gen2 machines. 

​

The Gen3 became a race winner in 2021 with Shane Stoney at the wheel and has been competitive ever since, with drivers gradually making the switch. In 2022, Jon brought out the most recent version of the Coupe Cup racer, the SIII. The recipe is the same, and the racing is just as entertaining as before. 

​

The OT Coupe Cup with Toyo Tires powers into 2024 hoping for another great season, so why not get involved?
