The aim of the Club is to organise low cost single seater racing for the club racer. The Mono Championship is for cars which are at least four years old. The engine size dictates the class into which a car falls. The classes have been renamed so that they reflect more accurately the classification, and give all the classes a family of names

The emphasis in the Mono Clubs championships is on the amateur owner-driver rather than big budgets teams common to other formulas. Many of the cars being raced in the Mono clubs championships are prepared by their owners whilst others are prepared and run by professionals. As a result the club has a reputation for producing cars which are prepared to a very high standard.

Depreciation is the crippling cost in many categories of racing because the pace of development means that the very latest designs tend to dominate. The Mono Racing Club rules are specifically framed to prevent this happening in Mono racing. One of the reasons why racing the Mono Club way is relatively inexpensive is that competitors do not have to sell their cars at a huge loss at the end of each season in order to invest in the latest equipment to remain competitive.

One of the great strengths of Mono Racing is that it is specially formulated so that owners of a wide range of single seater racing cars can compete and still enjoy close, exciting racing. The class structure is such that a wide variety of cars can compete on equal terms. In Mono 2000, Mono 1800 and Mono 1600, all commercially built cars racing in Mono Racing must be built for the 1998 season or earlier. However you can enter a home made or "one off" car of any age.
