Leading manufacturer of heating controls, Honeywell were proud to sponsor the winning team at this year’s FunCup 2011 series. Team Honeywelltriumphed to victory completing the race in 3 hours, 59 minutes and 48 seconds.

The FunCup ‘World Cup’ event was held at Snetterton 200 last month; Team Honeywell proved to be a force to reckon with and was unstoppable to the finish line.  A combination of great strategy and fantastic pitwork ensured the team’s eventful win.

The FunCup is an endurance race where teams have to continually complete circuits for a set number of hours. This year’s race took more than four hours with Team Honeywell finishing153 laps.

Driver Neil Plimmer said: “We’re really pleased with our performance and the victory Last year we were pipped to the post, but this year Team Honeywell were firing back.”

All the cars in the cup are race designed, single seaters, with super-strong space frame chassis’. Most of the FunCup cars are powered by an 1800cc, 130 bhp VW/Audi petrol engine, with a five speed gearbox, race breakers and fully adjustable suspension. In 2009 1900cc TDI, VW diesel engines were introduced, which are more environmentally friendly, but just as fast.
