The most famous Fun Cup Racing is the 25 (yes 25) hours of Spa
Here is a video with highlights of last year

I think we should get these little bundles of joy for the new Forza Motorsport as well just so we can even recreate the 25 hours of Spa or do long endurance races in general plus have a whole new online multiplayer mode in Motorsport like Forza GT but with just these Beetles instead and have players duke it out just for laughs and even competition.

Boosting this thread as well, as both a native of the country wich invented the Fun Cup and just a fan of this one-make car in general!
This link gives a slightly more detailed rundown on the rough specs of the current gen of VW fun cup car, currently being made WRT (the same WRT as in the racing team representing formerly audi and now BMW in GTWC and WEC)
Additionally, these cars don’t need racing tires for competitive use as an extra way to cut costs, like they do in the Hankook 25H Fun Cup race at Spa (feat. +100 cars)! Some Fun Cup Beetles also come with an additional seat meaning that you can hop in as a passanger and experience a real racing enviroment from the best seats in the house!
These cars are beyond under-represented in modern racing games, with only one mainline release featuring them. I think these cars could make one of the best rotating spec series, possibly rivaling the Miatas even!
