Does F grading carry over from last year

[DAVO]

Hi could anyone tell me do you keep your F grading from last year, the reason I'm asking is because we renewed our BRCA after the December 31st cut off date so had to join as a new member meaning new number etc. The online form never asked for our current number so I'm assuming they have nothing to tie the 2 profiles from previous years so does this mean we start as F5 again
Cheers

I think EVERYONE had to join as a new member even before December, and had an opportunity to retain there old number if they renewed quick enough.
Not sure about the grading though.

You gain an F grading through Regionals and at National events F1 and F2 which are valid for the next year. Gradings run from 1st of Jan through to end of Dec.
Example:
Assuming you was a F4 put you drove awesome through your regional events and gained an F2 license in 2015. You will remain a F4 driver till the end of 2015. 1st of Jan, for the full year you will be a F2 grade driver and will be seeded as that through all events.
If in 2016 though you do not do any sanctioned BRCA events, then you will drop a grade to F3.
Hope that was clear enough.

You can see the 2016 licence grades here:

So what would happen if you were F4 then rejoined the BRCA as a new member how do they tie your current F4 grading to your new BRCA account
Rejoining as a new member effectively means you start from F5 again ?
As if you have not raced any previous BRCA events

The 1/10th section has a list of all names and f grades that are changed every year and updated with the regional and national results your membership is not linked to this.
Also if you had not raced any brca events you could not be a f4 unless you have been in the top 20 nationally

You are not actually joining as a new member.
You are actually just getting a new BRCA membership number and nothing else.
There will be a cross reference for BRCA officials and you will be able to carry your F grading across to the new membership number.
Nothing more or less
