Dash Cup

Dash Cup is a European stock-car racing division established in 1999. Since its first season, a 7-race schedule, it has developed into a 16-race series, visiting New York, Illinois and Japan this year, making it the first ever season the Dash Cup will travel outside of Europe. In 2013, the series developed further, extending to a 20 race schedule, visiting Japan for two races, then the famous New York GP, but with 17 races in Europe, people are saying Dash Cup is going back to its roots slowly, but surely.

The 2011 season was never run, since the sponsors dropped support, and there was no funding for the races, but then, a major company based in Dubai called "FutureTechnologies, Inc." struck a deal to support Dash Cup, leading to a longer schedule and the introduction of several international races.

In 2012, the only two manufacturers fielding cars in Dash Cup are Spiedel with the Wasp and STS Motor Company with the Arrow, however, CM, Xenos, Lenard, Lycoia and more have come aboard the series, bringing more unpredictability and, hopefully, better racing in 2013.

It was announced that Spiedel would not longer offer manufacturer support after the 2012 season. This has forced many teams using Spiedel to look elsewhere.
