(March 2024) (Learn how and when to remove this message) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Fun Cup car on display at [Irwindale Speedway](/source/Irwindale_Event_Center), CA, USA The **Fun Cup** is a [one-make racing](/source/One-make_racing) series created by Franz Dubois in 1997 in [Belgium](/source/Belgium). The cars are identical, 130 bhp, 740 kg single seater racing cars with the bodywork styled upon the [Volkswagen Beetle](/source/Volkswagen_Beetle). The cars use a 1.8L Audi/VW engine and a [Sadev](/source/Sadev) 5 Speed sequential gearbox. Both engine and gearbox are sealed along with all major components to ensure the cars are technically identical and of equal performance.[1] The tyres are a standard road [radial](/source/Radial_tire) which is specified to the series, and is run in both wet and dry. The races last mostly between three and six hour endurance races,[2] split between a team of two or more drivers.[3] There are Fun Cup national series competed in the UK, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Canary Islands, all of which combine in the 25 Hours at the [Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps](/source/Circuit_de_Spa-Francorchamps). The pinnacle of the series, the 25 Hours at Spa, is one of the longest continuous motor races in the world, with a grid size in 2006 of 152 cars.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The grids are now capped at 155 cars, which is the practical limit of the [Spa-Francorchamps](/source/Circuit_de_Spa-Francorchamps) circuit. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Car Specifications - Funcup Endurance Championship"](https://funcup.co.uk/car-specifications/). 2023-12-15.
