The 2013 summer championship race programme will be held for the following two classes only. 1/10th scale saloons (BRCA Super Stock class) and 1/12th GT12/ Mardave saloons. Only cars complying with the BRCA’s 2013 1/10th electric touring car rules (13.5T brushless motors) or GERCC’s own GT12/Mardave rules, will be eligible to compete in their respective Championships. Drivers with cars that are ineligible for either class may be permitted to race with the cars in the non-championship rounds, at the discretion of the Race Controller.
Championship rounds will be held on alternate evenings for each class, beginning with the 1/10th Saloons on the 3rd May (blue shading on chart) and the 10th May for the GT12/Mardave’s. None championship races will be held for each class on the evenings allocated for championship rounds for the other class. Our aim is to ensure that all drivers are offered at least 2 heats and a final in each class per race night.
Each Championship will comprise of 13 rounds, with the best 10 to count. The dates are: -
| May | June | July | August | September | October |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 7 | 5 | 2 | 6 | 4 |
| 10 | 14 | 12 | 9 | 13 | 11 |
| 17 | 21 | 19 | 16 | 20 | 18 |
| 24 | 28 | 26 | 23 | 27 | 25 |
| 31 | 30 |
Points will be scored based on the best result from both the heats and the finals of each round, with the top finisher in each being awarded 30 points. The second placed driver (based on laps covered and time elapsed) will be awarded 29 points, descending by one point for each subsequent finisher.
All cars must comply with the relevant BRCA and Club Rules listed with this programme and supplemented by the specific class rules (as identified above) set out in the BRCA 2013 Handbook and website. Cars may be scrutineered at any time as directed by the Race Controller. Any car found to be infringing its class rules may be excluded from the meeting and any points scored by its driver that evening will be deleted from the results. The use of reverse is banned for all classes and must be disabled in any ESC fitted with this facility. There will be a separate competition for drivers under 14 years of age on the 30th October 2013, incorporated into the main Championship.
