We’ve partnered up with the GAZ Shocks BMW Compact Cup for 2012 to bring you coverage of this series throughout the season. After each round you will be able to read about all the on-track action in The Scene and follow one of the most successful up and coming tin-top series.

Discussing the sponsorship deal, Editor Adam Tait said: “Total BMW is proud to sponsor the 2012 GAZ Shocks BMW Compact Cup. It’s one of the few race series where the driver actually shines through and not their budget. The Compact base car can be picked up for less than £1000 and strict regulations ensures preparation costs are kept to a minimum.”
