2/2012 — Creation of the Royale Formula Ford Cup (cshoem286)
In support of the Vintage Racer Group (VRG) and their efforts to promote Formula Fords, Royale created the Formula Ford Cup; which is to be given away annually at a VRG event. The cup was a creation by Graham Long, using Formula Ford parts with a recreation of the Royale crown at the top. Each year the winner will be added to the cup with a stamped brass plate that is soldered to the base with information representative of the event and winner.

4/2015 — Royale selects PIRC for the Royale Cup Award Event (cshoem286)
On the heels of a successful 45th Anniversary Formula Ford Race Series, Royale Racing would like to announce that in 2015 we will be supporting the PVGP Historic Races once again. This event will be help on the newly expanded Pittsburgh International Race Complex (PIRC) track (2.8 miles, 19 corners). We expect the expansion to add a whole new dimension to an already fast, yet technical venue.
Please join Royale Racing as we support the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix organization; which has raised over $3.7 million for the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny Valley Schools during the past 30+ years.
