World premiere for B-Zero Racing

Fredrik Sörlie is leading before Edward Sander Woldseth and Tom Hensel.

The businessman and racing enthusiast Bård Bergsjö created Formula Basic 13 years ago. He is now on his next big racing project; B-Zero Racing…

As with Formula Basic, B-Zero Racing is a racing class that should be so cheap that anyone can afford to participate. In England and Belgium, this is as big success and there are hundreds of teams running in their series. Bård visited Silverstone 24 hours last spring where 99 cars participated in the competition! In England you only drive with the 3-door Citroën C1, but in Scandinavia the class will be open for six different models; Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 with both three and five doors. All three cars are built in the same car factory, only the emblems distinguish them.

"You can buy a used car today for about SEK 20,000 and a racing kit costs SEK 30,000," says Bergsjö. The only modifications allowed are the roll bar and belts and a modified front suspension for better road holding. The rest of the car must be completely standard. "The idea is that it will be cheap and easy to find spare parts," said Bergsjö.

Fredrik Sörlie won both races before Edward Sander Woldseth and Tom Hensel.

At the weekend's races at Kinnekulle Ring, three cars were driven for the first time in Scandinavia. Fredrik Sörlie won both races before Edward Sander Woldseth and Tom Hensel.

Bergsjö has big plans for the class and there will soon be more news about this…
