The Race Controller will have the discretion to permit cars from other classes to compete in the non-championship races, provided the car(s) are reasonably compatible with that class.

Points will be scored based on the results of both the heats (best result) and 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 Club Rules listed with this programme. These are supplemented by the specific class rules (as identified above) set out in the BRCA 2012 Handbook and website.

Cars marking the track through the inappropriate use of additives will be excluded from the meeting. 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. If using LiPo’s, charging inside a fireproof sack is mandatory inside the hall.
