<\/p>\nThe Little Car Company, makers of the Bugatti Baby II \u2013 a modern version of the iconic Bugatti Baby \u2013 has partnered with HERO-ERA to launch the UK Bugatti Baby II Championship, a unique racing series that will see 20 adult and child teams compete in three driving skill events.<\/p>\n
Anyone with the slightest interest in motorsport will have likely pictured themselves doing battle on track and ultimately standing atop a podium celebrating their victory. Now, the UK Bugatti Baby II Championship will offer the rare opportunity to put that passion to the test and sample that elation by placing them behind the wheel of a Bugatti Baby II in a racing environment. With this being a team event, parents and children will also be able to share their passion together, combining their racing skills to create memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Developed in partnership with Bugatti, the Bugatti Baby II is a 75% scale version of one of the French marque\u2019s most iconic racing vehicles \u2013 the Bugatti Type 35. Fully electric, with multiple driving modes, the Bugatti Baby II can be enjoyed by both adults and children. And now, in partnership with expert event organisers HERO-ERA, the UK Bugatti Baby II Championships have launched for that very reason.<\/p>\n
The UK Bugatti Baby II Championship will feature three unforgettable events at three of the UK\u2019s most iconic automotive and motor racing locations.<\/p>\n
Event 1: Bicester Heritage, Sunday 23rd<\/sup> April.<\/p>\n Event 2: Silverstone, Sunday 28th<\/sup> May.<\/p>\n Event 3: Prescott Hill Climb, Sunday 8th<\/sup> July.<\/p>\n This final round will feature a hill climb, which will be followed by the final prize giving.<\/p>\n The UK Bugatti Baby II Championship will be the first time that junior Bugattis take to the racetrack competitively for almost 100 years, when in 1926, Ettore Bugatti himself built his son Roland a half-scale Bugatti Type 35. The Little Car Company and HERO-ERA are now giving 20 teams of adults and children the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Ettore Bugatti by entering into this special Championship, sharing the passion for beautifully designed and crafted cars that Ettore and his son enjoyed almost a century ago.<\/p>\n Working together, the teams will compete in a series of skills-based driving events with their combined scores counting towards their overall Championship ranking.<\/p>\n Entrants will not need to own a Bugatti Baby II to compete, these will be provided for each event. And to help competitors tap into their perhaps undiscovered racing abilities, coaching will be provided by 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, and Bugatti Pilote Officiel, Andy Wallace.<\/p>\n Importantly, this is a first come, first served event, so those looking to participate can enter here: https:\/\/heroclub.eu\/event-5203323<\/a>. A waiting list will be in operation once all 20 slots have been reserved.<\/p>\n Competitors are more than welcome to visit The Little Car Company at their Bicester HQ to try a car for size, particularly as adult drivers will need to be 6ft 2 or under to fit comfortably in a Bugatti Baby II. Junior drivers will also need to be aged between 10-14 to be eligible to compete.<\/p>\n There is a \u00a34,950 entry fee per team, which includes entry to all three racing events, catering at each event, and entry to the Bicester Scramble for the first race. Racers will only need to bring a helmet and gloves, along with appropriate clothing and footwear. Race suits are encouraged but not mandatory, while HANS devices are not required.<\/p>\n Ben Hedley, CEO of The Little Car Company, said: <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re frequently asked by clients, journalists and those that have sat in one of our cars: \u2018When will you launch a race series for these little cars?\u2019. Well now is that time, as we\u2019ve partnered with HERO-ERA to create a new kind of electric motorsport: a three-stage, adult and child championship at the UK\u2019s most iconic racing and automotive locations. <\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Little Car Company, makers of the Bugatti Baby II \u2013 a modern version of the iconic Bugatti Baby \u2013 has partnered with HERO-ERA to launch the UK Bugatti Baby II Championship, a unique racing series that will see 20 … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thelittlecar.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image018.png\")
