The 205 Cup is designed to be a cost-effective method of climbing the rallying ladder and will test real driver ability, not only the driving but all other key issues of becoming a Professional Rally Driver such as PR skills and sponsorship development. The 205 Cup also provides opportunities to be trained by some of the most experienced and best qualified experts in the business. The series has links through Cup Organiser Kevin Furber (Former Peugeot Works Driver) with 1997 & 2005 British Rally Champion Mark Higgins and 2002 & 2003 British Rally Champion Johnny Milner. Surrounded by such pedigree the AB Stars can see exactly what is required of them to become the best.

It is very important to remember that 2001 British World Champion Richard Burns and 1995 British World Champion Colin McRae who became globally-renowned sporting personalities. Both began their careers driving Peugeot Talbot cars and their talents were first proven when winning in Peugeot 205's.

Will one of the AB Stars Rally Team be the next World Champion starting out in a 205? Chris Reid has been selected for the prestigious British Rally Academy supported by the Motor Sports Assocation, following his outstanding performance throughout 2006.

The Peugeot 205 Cup Cars are based on the highly renowned and loved Peugeot 205 GTi. The 20 cars have been substantially modified to the exact same spec give maximum performance for the forest. With a modified engine producing 150BHP, loud as allowed exhaust, rally close ratio gearbox including special rally limited slip differential, competition safety equipment like seats, harnesses and a substantial roll-cage for the inevitable.

The car provides the perfect artillery for the crews to battle it out to test who has what it takes to be a true champion.
