Piston Cup Racing Series

The Piston Cup Racing Series, known as the Hudson Hornet Piston Cup Series in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 is an auto racing series championship that hosts Piston Cup Seasons that takes place in North America. From 2016 onwards, high-tech Next-Generation racers are dominating the circuit. When winning a Piston Cup season, you are awarded with the Piston Cup trophy. 
To enter the Piston Cup Racing Series, you just have to apply for a Piston Cup team, and hope they accept you. You should at least know the basic things about racing, even if you don't have much racing experience. You also have to be a car model which is acceptable for racing and if not you have to change models into one that is acceptable for racing. You also need to pass a fitness test made by the Piston Cup staff and there is even an option where you can compete in lower-tier series.
