How about OOPLE INVERNATIONAL SERIES 2013?
6 round series, 2wd sat/4wd sun on a first come first serve basis.
No f1/F2 priority
Maybe 1 track per region ?

I am sure that there are plenty of people who would be up for helping. Spread the jobs out and it wouldn't be too much effort for any individual.

And yes, that is an offer to help!

Surely the club who is running the event has helpers. as it would be for any other event such as National/Regional.

I think it would be a good idea to go to some of the 'lesser known' clubs that are capable of running a decent size meeting. Get some publicity for other clubs. Other clubs that do regionals etc. that lots of people never actually get the chance to race at.

I think it needs to be done. It's not just the F grading thing. Lots go to (went to) the nationals for the atmosphere and a larger series would produce this and get people enjoying the weekend, making them want to come back.

If people dont want it to run on national weekends, instead of just letting anyone race why not have an invitation list which lets certain F1 racers compete? Or have 6 meetings and at each meeting have a different team bring there top driver to compete and help out the f345's?

Just been reading back through an early season report and it seems Jimmy was planting seeds way back when he was at the Stotfold National. Read the 'Jimmy's random thoughts' box near the top of the report...

I think a F3,4,5's narional series is a good idea but how would you qualify for the F1,2's

I think to do this properly you would have to scrap regionals or make the highest grade at regionals F3.

This way the only way to qualify for the premiership F1,2's is by finishing highly in the championship F3,4,5's series

If the idea is a national series, but a but laid back. Then grades don't matter!!

I see this dream as an addition to regional racing not a competitor.

Mike I think the idea is to have another series. Leave the nationals as they are, leave regionals as they are but add another "national" series running too ... a bit like RRCi did back in the day!

How would this solve the over subscription of the current national series ? It would not.

So is the idea "another national series for people who dont get in the REAL national series" ?

Id rather there be another BRCA series with a promotion / relegation type scenario with F1 and F2 in one and F3s F4s and F5s in the other.

Never gonna happen though.

Mike has hit the nail on the head just what I was thinking something to aim for. And it gives us lesser mortals a chance of glory and being called on to the rostrum before you final.

Then at the end if season the bottom 30 national drivers are relegated back to regionals the following season and have to requalify for the EOS finals where the top 30 being given a place in the following years nationals

At least then the eos finals will be a real target to go for with it being a one off meeting a driver having a good day could just make the nationals the following year

Thats what i said (but got shot down for it lol!)

Sorry but wasn't this started as an idea for a national series for F3,4,5's?

If you start another series on a first come first serve basis the same thing will happen yet again. Doesn't matter what you say the TOP drivers will be there and it will be a mirror series to the nationals. Two friends of mine have both booked for and paid in advance for the oople Invernational. They have been then turned down both years because they are not 'names' within the toy car world, even thought they are both YORCK members. The exact same will happen with this series. Im sorry but you might set out with good intentions but it will happen like it happens everywhere. Even if you manage a genuine first come first serve there will be people who miss out.

That's why it should be as first stated and how the thread was started a series for F3,4,5's as these days you cant do nationals if you aren't F1 or F2.

People keep saying everything is fine as it is but I think it is outdated. I think we could still have regional's and incorporate a F3,4,5 national series as a point scoring event as well.

I think that the way it is at the moment works as it makes us lower drivers race at the little clubs to keep them goin with regionals, and would it get 120 drivers to a f345 getting every time as at times nationals arnt always full. I'm a f3 and have got into nationals for the last 3 years, if they split the serise and have them on the same weekend would just add a silly amount of cost as I share my gazebo with my brother and like spending time with with all my friends that I've made over the years and even if I don't get out of the bottom final at times you keep trying to get out of it
