GLOUCESTER ELECTRIC RACING CAR CLUB

SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAMME 2010

This summer we plan to offer a programme of competitive racing covering the  following classes.  1/10^th scale saloons (BRCA Super Stock class), Tamiya and Mardave mini saloons and a mixed GT10 class to include 1/10^th saloons on foams and 1/12ths.  However, these classes will only be run provided entries consistently remain at 5 or more each race night, to ensure subsequent heats have sufficient marshals.  Our aim is to ensure that all drivers are offered at least 3 races in each class per race night.

This year’s Summer Championship will comprise of 27 rounds, with the best 22 to count.  The dates are: -

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 2010 Handbook and website.  We will continue to permit the use of tyre cleaners or traction compounds in accordance with Rule 3.2 in 1/10^th Electric Circuit regulations, provided excess liquid is cleaned from the tyres before being placed on the track.  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 rules may be excluded from the meeting and any points scored by its driver that evening will be deleted from the results.  There will be a separate competition for drivers under 14 years of age on the 30th October 2010, incorporated into the main Championship.
