BRCA Clubmans Nationals R1 report

The first round of the BRCA Clubmans Nationals took place at West London Racing Centre at the weekend. The Clubmans Nationals are a series of one day events for 13.5 and 17.5 stock classes and are primarily aimed as a stepping stone for drivers wishing to progress from club to national level competition. It is hoped that information and advice will be cascaded from experienced drivers down to younger and less experienced competitors, who may even be competing at national level for the first time. The format for the meeting was open practice in the morning, followed by 3 rounds of qualifying and 2-leg finals for all. The intention was to give the event the feel of a well run club meeting, so there was no timed practice and qualifying was done on an FTQ basis. The largest and most competitive class was 13.5 with more than 60 entries. Speedo controllers equipped with timing advance software are permitted for this class and it is a very popular format at the various indoor winter series events held in the UK.
