Two classes have been introduced for the 2010 season:
All drivers under 23 are eligible for the Graduate Cup, with the class champion earning 25% off a registration fee for the 2011 season.[ 4]
All drivers over 35 are eligible for the Masters Cup.[ 4]
The series will support the British Touring Car Championship at all rounds except Donington Park on September 19, as the Clio Cup forms part of the World Series by Renault meeting on the same date, at Silverstone . In a change for this season, Saturday races are extended to 40 minutes at most circuits, while races at Rockingham, Croft and Oulton Park are 35 minutes in length.[ 4]
