Ed is an ex Electric national driver, few years back now. He would most certainly be a known quantity to the section committee.

It is a different class, But its still the same thing, They obviously knew somthing as he was in the top heat.[/QUOTE]
So are you wanting all F1s banned regardless of class? |

Errrmmm, absolutley, i dont really think its fair to have an ex F1 from however many years ago they were an F1 to be able to compete at either the 345s or the F2s. Isnt the 345 competition supposed to be a competition of 345 standard drivers? Its a bit unfair if an ex F1 comes as they are more than likely to be top 5, im not having a dig at any ex F1 driver who has won recently or in the past, just my opinion! |

My point being is that just because they are an F1 in another class doesn't mean they can deliver in 1/10th off road. Equally we have another F1 TC driver at TORCH who has adjusted and is fast. My mate is also an ex TC IC star, but has long since retired so he's turned his hand to off road, so should he not be permitted??? |

Most of the Names on the trophey were ex F1 that had had time off from racing.They are still bloody quick drivers if they were F1s at sometime in there racing career.

You stated that he was a F1 1/8th driver which i think is very simlar as they run on the same sort of tracks. Anyway im with chris have to agree mate. |

Not taking sides on the F1/F2 issue but if you feel strongly about it then propose a rule change at the Section AGM.

I am sure there is a rule that if a F1 within the past 5 years then one cannot compete. Then there is another rule demoting of peoples formulars so that makes them eligible in years to come. I understand many thinking that if once a F1 driver then you have a certain amount of skill but i can assure you that if you have a break away from the sport, it takes in my opinion even more effort to get to the level one was therefore the rules are OK. Like someone else has already suggested - if you don't like the rule then suggest another for the AGM that is nearly upon us. If there is a rule that needs to be changed or added is that all competotors for these events (F3/4/5 and F2s) should at least compete at the regional events of that year to qualify. Even at only the one meeting. That rule is not currently in place!!

would it not be better to get your F grade after the regionals,then enter the finals for that grade,rather than be given the F2 for next year,but be an F3,4,5 finals on last years F grade,if an old F1 races through the year they will be in the right final at the end of the year,

I agree though - it should be from the end of the regionals and Nationals for the end of year FINALS

That still wouldnt help the fact that some people are un happy about ex F1's been in the meeting that have been demoted etc. due to not racing or changing class.

Hi All.
I am trying to pick up on a number of points here. 1. The 1/10th section year runs from January 1st to 31st Dec. to allow all regional reps time to administer their region, calculate regional results and F Grades prior to verification by the Section for publication ,usually October/November time each year for the following year. Admin takes time and there are 11 Regions to coordinate, so this would be impossible to achieve prior to the End of Season Finals each year. 2. It is a fact that the F345 event is often won by returning drivers. The current rules forbid any ex-F1 entering within the previous five years F grade time frame (effectively six years). Indeed any F1 who has achieved a top 15 1/10th Off-Road National Result (top 15 for a series) can never enter the F345's. These are the restrictions which are currently in place but as has been said - rule changes can be made at the AGM each year. 3. How do the BRCA 1/10th Off-Road Section keep track on drivers formula's etc over time - meticulous records kept by the Section Chairman. I hope this answers a few concerns. Regards |

Hi Big G.
You are of course right and I said the same thing to Charlie Ware last year at Silverstone. |
