As the engines roar and the tyres grip the tarmac, one thing is clear: the Milltek Civic Cup is back for 2025, and it promises another thrilling season of close-fought racing. Now officially known as the Milltek Civic Cup, the championship continues to showcase some of the most exhilarating and competitive one-make racing in the UK, with every car on the grid featuring a full Milltek Sport exhaust system — a testament to both the brand’s performance and durability.
A Legacy of Performance
For six consecutive seasons, Milltek Sport has not only been the title sponsor of the Civic Cup but has also played an integral role in shaping the identity of this highly regarded championship. The partnership has endured through some of the most intense rivalries and unforgettable battles, with the 2024 season providing a particularly memorable finale that went down to the wire at Silverstone. Widely considered one of the toughest one-make club series in the UK, the Milltek Civic Cup promises yet another electrifying season of racing.
As in previous seasons, the grid will feature the iconic Honda Civic Type R, specifically the EP3 and FN2 generations. These cars, beloved for their agility and performance, are all equipped with Milltek’s full performance exhaust system, ensuring that the machines not only sound thrilling but are also optimised for maximum power and durability.
A Commitment to Quality
Milltek Sport’s involvement in the Civic Cup is more than just a sponsorship deal. As Technical Operations Manager Kev Hall explains, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence and a desire to push the boundaries of automotive performance.
“We’re delighted to extend our support for the Milltek Civic Cup,” said Hall. “This is some of the most exciting racing there is, and we wish everyone the best of luck for the season ahead.”
With every car running a full Milltek exhaust system, the company’s reputation for building high-performance exhaust systems is reinforced, not only on the track but in the very spirit of the championship. Milltek’s products are designed to withstand the rigours of competitive racing, proving their reliability and endurance under extreme conditions.
What’s New in 2025
For the 2025 season, the Milltek Civic Cup will contest seven rounds, maintaining its position as a premier feeder series to the TCR UK Touring Car Championship. One exciting new addition for 2025 is that three rounds will be held in conjunction with the British Truck Racing series, offering an even wider audience the opportunity to witness the spectacle of one-make touring car racing alongside the thunderous power of Britain’s finest truck racers.
The 2025 season kicks off at Donington Park on 22-23 March, where fans can expect another incredible season of racing as the next generation of Civic Cup stars line up to battle for supremacy.
Loyalty, Legacy, and Growth
Stewart Lines, the Championship Promotor, expressed his enthusiasm for Milltek’s continued support of the championship. “It’s great to have Milltek back for 2025 as the title sponsor for the Civic Cup. Their loyalty to our brand has been instrumental in helping the championship grow over the last six years. This has also made the Civic Cup stand out as the biggest and best one-make club championship in the UK.”
As the title sponsor for a sixth consecutive season, Milltek’s commitment is not just a reflection of their brand’s integrity but also their passion for motorsport and the future of grassroots racing. It is a partnership that continues to drive the growth of the Milltek Civic Cup as one of the most exciting and competitive motorsport series in the UK today.
