BRCA Rules
At a recent race, Kidderminster national to be exact, I got what could be described as a "bollocking" for putting the numbers on the wing, and one on the roof i think.
I was told they aren't allowed on the wing ?!? I confess I dislike putting huge number stickers over the windows of a buggy as it takes away from the scale look and if you read the rules: 22.1 Cars entered for Off Road competitions will be reasonable representations of full size cars generally accepted as being suitable for Rallycross, Rallying, Trail and Desert races. Since when is a huge number over the front window "a reasonable representation" any way ? There is no mention in the rules that the numbers need to be on the body shell at all, they can be on anything, including the wing or even the ariel tube. Am i right or am i right ? we'll see at tiverton when I turn up for heat 1 sporting numbers on the ariel tube. (and a copy of the rule book in my pocket ready for any "back chat" I receive from the officials) Last edited by jimmy; 20-04-2006 at 12:57 PM. |

I agree with you Jimmy. Back when I started and when Procats had those stick on side pieces for the wing - I always used to put the numbers on the wing sides... I have no idea why I stopped, maybe when the wings sides went smaller.
At the 2005 Euro's, I put the race numbers on the sides of my X5 bodyshell, over where the batteries are..... and I was told after round 1 that they should be over the windows! but on the X5 the surface there isn't so flat and the numbers are a bit scruffy when stuck on over windows. :thumbdow: I still mount my BRCA race numbers where the Euro's guys tell me not to as I see no rule stating otherwise.....:elephant: Last edited by Mrs oOple; 20-04-2006 at 05:13 PM. |

22.6 At BRCA Sanctioned events all cars must display 3 full sized BRCA issue numbers with one facing to the front and with one on each side in an upright position.
My interpretation of the rule is, as Jimmy described, numbers can be placed anywhere on the car, subject to being upright and one each side, & one to the front.

this is the same argument they have had over Transponders. Originaly they would tell you to put them on the opposite side of the wing to the motor, and you were never allowed to run them inside the shell, now, they prefer you as it is up to you to secure the transponder to the car, if the wing comes off with transponder, they have no obligation to manualy count it.
Other big NO-NO is cutting numbers down either, they hate that one, we used to cut them down to leave about 4mm of white round theblack, lol.

No way! It'll probably be my car that he's testing the theory out on... again! :P

You've got to agree that it can be a right PITA to mount the numbers on the "std" positions on the shells. I much prefer the Corally/Proline numbers, smaller and square - hence much easier to mount!!

Maybe a spot of modernisation in the number department is needed from the BRCA?

... SHOES.
My poor feet'll be all couped up during the Summer. I had lovely flip flop triangle marks last year... But yes yes, I suppose it's only sensible. Ahem.

ha ha, I went to Debenhams and was trying Flip-Flips and Sandals on last weekend, I found myself saying "I like them but the BRCA won't let me marshall in them" and I chose some that are open but I can move quickly in.

I had a snorer drive head on in to my toes once whilst wearing trainers and that bloody hurt, that rule is to protect you toes... nothing stopping you wearing flippy floppies outside the track perimeter is there

Nope. Hence why I plan to do what I did when my feet were destroyed at Southport the other year - flip flops on rostrum/surroundings and have dad hold my trainers during a race. OR dump them at my marshal point before racing. Sorted.
NO ONE can hold my feet hostage... they need to be freeee.
