The Licence costs £20 per annum and runs from December to December. It can be purchased online from: https://www.brca.org/ When you arrive Please visit race control and book in when you arrive at the track. The booking in process should be swift but please be prepared to queue. Please ask questions while you’re in the queue. There will be people around to answer them. For booking in we just need to know you’re here. Qualifying Heats There will be one practice round in heat order. There will then be 4 Rounds of 5 minute Qualifying Heats for each class. Busy classes will be split into 2 or 3 separate heats based upon the ability grade stated at online registration. Each Heat is a staggered start format so buggies will start 1.5 seconds apart and it is all about completing as many laps as possible in those 5 minutes. The transponder system will record the exact time and laps over the 5 minutes. Please look at the board outside the control hut to see which Heat you’re in and make a note of your buggy number. The computer system will call out the buggy numbers for the staggered start so it’s important that you know your number and you start as soon as you hear your number called out. At the beginning of each Heat the buggies line up in front of the transponder line. You will keep the same buggy number throughout the Heats. The order in which Buggies start is determined by the previous heat results. Quickest buggy starts first. Make a note of who is in the heat before you and be ready while that Heat is running. Get used to the faces up on the Rostrum. That’s the best way to know when you’re due up. When your heat is finished the computer system will call out your buggy number and say “Finished”. Keep going until you hear this. If you get confused, ask your fellow racers on the rostrum. You must stay around after your Heat to marshal the next Heat. Finals The driver’s best 2 heat times out of the 4 will determine grid position in the final. There may be A, B, C etc finals per class depending on entry levels. The finals will run in order, A then B then C etc. This is to allow the A final winner and runner up time to prepare for the Race of Champions. Race of Champions The top 2 drivers from each A final enter into the prestigious Race of Champions. This will see all classes fighting it out on track at the same time with separate starting grids around the track based on the class age. The winner of the Race of Champions is crowned the event champion. Marshalling All drivers must Marshall the heat immediately after their own heat. When you finish your heat, place your Buggy on the table next to the rostrum and go straight out onto the track to your Marshall’s post and put on the supplied high visibility vest. Marshal posts will be numbered and you should go to the marshal point with the same number as your car. Marshals should stay at their marshalling points at all times during the race period. If a car is need of assistance only enter the track when it is safe to do so, and when the car has been recovered get back to your marshal point as soon as possible but making sure that it is safe to cross the track. Please refrain from fixing cars at the side of the track; you are there to marshal only. Stay vigilant, stay alert and stay safe. Drivers must not hit the throttle until the Marshall has stepped away. Support Races The one-off Monster Truck race on Sunday is a random grid start and the winner will be the driver first to complete 9 laps. If you have any completely battered and beyond hope Lexan Shells, please bring them along for the race! Thanks in advance. Due to the potential high number of entries, GHz radio is recommended. On Saturday there will be a Wheelie race just for fun with no timing and no trophies. Entry is £2 cash on the day. All entry money goes into the charity pot. Endurance Race Please refer to the Revival Endurance Race details later in this document for eligible buggies and rules for Saturday evening’s team endurance race. Concours d’elegance Concourse is £2 cash per entry, to be paid on the day and will be judged at the photo call just before the drivers briefing. Saturday: Any eligible 2WD Buggy & Wheelie. Sunday: Any eligible 4WD Buggy & Monster Truck. Motors and Speed Controllers There are no restrictions on motors and speed controllers Batteries There is a 2s LiPo limit for the event. You will need to provide your own source of power for recharging of batteries. Generators may be used but please try to ensure to position them so they are out of harm’s way and so they are not an annoyance to other people attending the meeting. Please charge LiPo’s in a fire sack. Radio Please consider using GHz radio for an easier day. If you are running MHz radio, please state which crystals you have when you register online so they can be put into the race computer. Just state the colour or number of the crystals that you have e.g. Red, 915 etc. When you race you will be allocated a specific crystal for that heat so it is important that A1 have your crystal details in advance. Transponders If you don’t have a PT (Personal Transponder) there will be Hand out Transponders provided on the day. These need to be securely fitted into your vehicle but need to be quickly removed because they have to be handed back to race control after each heat. Hand out Transponders have their own battery and can be secured through the body shell as they have a body shell style mount. If you don't want to put a hole through the buggy body, you'll need to find a way to secure them very temporarily without sticking them. So find a way to make use of the body mount hole or cable tie them etc. This is what they look like alongside another idea for securing them to the chassis. Dimensions: AMBrc Rechargeable Transponder Dimensions : 35 x 31 x 12 mm (approx. 1.4”x1.2”x 0.5”) Weight : 22 g Making sure you can accommodate the Hand-out Transponders in your vehicle is very important so please consider this prior to the event to save you time/panic on the day. If you’d rather purchase your own PT, they are in excess of £30 each and are smaller and powered from the receiver. Charity Raffle There will be a Saturday raffle and a Sunday raffle with some incredible prizes donated by sponsors and members. Raffle tickets will be £5. Charity Tombola There will be the opportunity to win RC prizes on the Charity Tombola. Icon of the Day Award This award will go to the most stand-out or unique buggy racing on each day. The Brett Davis Newcomer Award This special trophy will be presented on each day to who we feel made the best Revival debut. Revival Veteran Award This award, presented on Sunday, will go to an entrant who has made a notable contribution to the Revivals over the years. Endurance Race A 2 hour endurance race on the Revival Saturday evening, 29th July, from approximately 18:30. The start will be Lemans style with cars lined up along the side of the main straight. Each team will have a runner standing on the opposite side of the track. After a ten second countdown, on the warble a designated runner will run across to the car and turn it onto its wheels and then the driver may get underway. The winner of the race will be the team who have completed the most laps during the race’s duration.
