I thought it was a 'first come first serve' basis?
With priority given to those with high F grades, or those doing all 6 rounds?

David Church · #42 13-02-2010

Not first come first serve!!!

I don't know the exact dimnensions of this rule, but.

I think it goes along 4 or more for most drivers grade, then decends from there, I am sure Charlie or Stuart will correct me soon!!!!

Get it done Mikey boy!!

In relation to the entry criteria I know that F1s completing all 6 rounds stand a chance and thats about it!!

So does this mean the poeple who are new to this series this year, will be the last to be given a place if there are any left?

So always book the time off work if you need cos its always possible

It does not matter when your entry is received, as long as it is before the closing date which i think this year is the 17 march, on that date all the entries are split up firstly into those that are doing 4 or more rounds, then all those f1's doing 4 or more are allocated a place, then the national f2's, then the regional f2's etc, if you for example are an f3 but only doing 3 rounds and therfor not scoring in the championship (4 from 6) then any f4 who has applied for 4 or more will go ahead of you. once all those people from f1 to f5 who are doing 4 or more have been allocated then any remaining places will be allocated to the rest.

it does not matter, it is not done on entry date at all. you could argue that getting your entry in on the last possible day puts you on the top of the pile!!

that is also incorrect, by the way mike i am not having a dig at you but i think its only right the correct information is supplied to people doing the nationals first time.

aif for example there is one place left at a national and two entries both F5's, then the individual drivers records will be looked at, if you have never done a national or a regional in recent memory then the BRCA will only know your name and nothing else, however if you have done nationals and or regionals then the BRCA will know who you are where you finished in the nationals or regionals, any one with a record at either nationals or regionals will of course get preference to someone who has done neither, thats why your regional rep sends of the regional results to the BRCA at the end of the season, and why Mr Worsley can tell you who where and when someone finished for last 9-10 years (usually tell you within a couple of minutes)

I sent my entry off on the very last day possible last year and got an entry to all rounds that i had entered. Very lucky

I seriously wouldnt advise this as i had a few sweats on as the dates were getting closer. Im also an F5.

All you can do is get your entry in and hope for the best. The BRCA are very well organised. Anybody doing the series for the first time will be blown away.
