Default Gloucester Quays GP

Seen a banner on central booking with the title above but no more info as it just says coming soon.

Anyone got any cheeky inside info they can let slip?

Found it on centralbooking - why would it specify 21.5 2S? I thought the BRCA were moving towards 13.5 1S...?

Like the idea but clashes with the 1st offroad national at the mighty Kidderminster Club (which your meant to be at Adam )

I emailled the organiser about running 1S and they wanted to run 2S as thats what they thought you local boys would go for.

I booked in and was going to get a new battery for it but if you guys all email and tell him your local and want to run 1S then hopefully both will be allowed.

Email address is on the central booking page.

I spoke to the organiser on this ant it's just a bit if confusion over the rules. Most clubs in the south run 21.5 so this is why 21.5 was stated however 13.5 1s is still permitted as it is a BRCA Class. We will be happy to run both together

If that is official, then great, but can it be put up on CentralBooking, then I won't have to order 3 batteries and 3 motors

Even though as Rog has pointed out I can't attend this...

It's good news about the 13.5 1S though for the rest of you

Hi Shane

Thanks for the update, will tables and chairs also be required? It would be great if we didn't need to bring them......

Default Timing system

No idea what Timing system will be in use but I can 100% guarantee the MRT will work or I and most of our regulars will be going home early.

I know the racing format for the touring cars is laid out, but is anybody able to give any information for the GT12 class.

I'm guessing its 2 heats of ten, but:

How many rounds
Is qualifying on FTD, or is it round by round and how many count.
Are finals 1 race or 2 or 3 leg finals.
Are tyre additives allowed and if so, is it those listed by the BRCA.

TIA
