**Amendment of rule for indoor winter championship
Giving that Off road/Micros will no longer race with TC indoors the current formula of 3 round Qualifying 2 finals should be dropped and changed back to 4 rounds of Qualifying and 1 final-
--------------
**3 leg a finals where total entries enable charging and marshalling without delays to the timetable
as it says really
The BRCA has the following rule in place under
section 15. RACE PROCEDURES
GENERAL
15.31 All ‘A’ finals will run over three legs with the best results of two of the three legs to count. In terms of
penalties incurred, each leg of the A Final is considered to be a separate race.
--------------------------
**Proposal height minimum for Rostrum for indoor championship to 1.5meters min
WRCA to enforce and have in place a minimum height on all rostrums for indoor and outdoor WRCA regional championships , a minimum height that is feasible for all clubs should be taken into account this will then allow for any clubs who do not have the clearance for height rostrums indoors backing and clear guidelines from the WRCA
take into account for disabled access to and from Rostrum with out height interfering with track visibility
The BRCA Micro section has the flowing rule in place
6. Track and Venue Specifications.
6.6. The rostrum must be positioned to minimise the risk of people obstructing the drivers view. The
distance from the rostrum to the edge of the track is to be 2m. The minimum length of the rostrum
must be 7.3 (24ft) metres between 0.75m (min) and 2.1m (max) high, and of a suitable width.
-------------------------
**Proposal for FTD qualifying to be dropped and Round by Round to be the only method of qualifying both indoors and out door regional’s
This will bring the WRCA inline with all regional’s as well as the National championship, many racers struggle at there first BRCA 10th off meeting as they do not understand the qualifying system, This will also tie in both Micro and 10th off road at the indoor championship.
Taking into account clubs must also have there lap timing and qualifying systems set up for round by round
The BRCA stats round by round as the following under section 15. RACE PROCEDURES
GENERAL
.
15.25 The Round by Round qualifying method awards points for each competitor’s position in each qualifying round
individually. Highest qualifying position in each Round will score zero (0) points, second place will score two
(2) points, third place three (3) points and so on. (Regional events can amend this points system subject to
software compatibility). Weather/external circumstances may prevent all scheduled qualifying rounds being
completed, therefore points from each driver’s best qualifying rounds are added together to determine a final
qualifying position as follows :-
4 Rounds completed - Best 2 to count.
3 Rounds completed - Best 2 to count.
2 Rounds completed - Single best Round to count.
All other qualifying round scores will be discarded. Each Round has to be completed for any points to be
awarded. If two or more drivers achieve the same time in any Round, the same points will be awarded to
each driver and the next driver not tying will received points relative to his position in the Round. In the event
of a tie when the points from the ‘counting’ Rounds are totalled, the driver with the single best points within
the rounds that counted will be awarded the tie. If this comparison fails to break the tie then the laps and
times from the ‘tying drivers’ highest finishing positions will be compared. The driver with the fastest lap and
time total will be awarded the tie. In the case of a continuing tie then the second best scores will be
compared. In the unlikely event of a continuing tie at this point, the lap times from the heat that gave the
highest finishing
The BRCA Micro have the flowing rule in place
section 7. Racing Procedures
7.6.
Qualifying will consist of 4 rounds of qualifying heats. Points will be awarded for each round.
Tied positions within a round will receive equal points. The points for subsequent positions will be
displaced by the number of tied drivers involved. A driver's best 2 scores will be added together to
give a qualifying position. Ties will be eliminated firstly by using discard points and secondly, by use
of the fastest overall time.
-------------------------------
**Proposal for track width for indoor championship./Amendment of current track width to 2.2 meters wide
As there is a slight clash with regards to the two rules, sugestion would be a middle ground for both classes
under section14. THE TRACK of the BRCA 10th off road handbook the following rule is in place
14.6 At Sanctioned events, other than Nationals, tracks must be a minimum of 2.4 metres wide.
under section 6. Track and Venue Specifications of the BRCA micro rules
6.3. Minimum track width is 2m and where the venue is not permanent the track must consist of at
Giving that the indoor championship will Mix Off road 10th and Micros it would be in the WRCA best interest to set a minimum track width for the indoor championship that will allow both scales to race with out compromise
---------------------------------
**WRCA to set minimum and maximum overall track length for regional electric outdoor meetings of 125 meters - 150meters overall
This will keep the size of regional tracks for the 10th electric to a constant level with out compromising the class.
At nitro and electric meetings the this will give clubs backing and clear guidelines to design layouts for both scales and classes.
At eclectic only meetings this will eliminate the issues with small grounds being used to host regional meetings
Many clubs now have large facilities that they are happy for other clubs to use for regional events, club not able to meet these rule will not be given a regional meeting
under section14. THE TRACK of the BRCA handbook the following rule is in place- there is only a minimum rule set in place for National meetings
14.5 At all National format events outdoors, tracks will be a minimum of 3 metres wide and minimum 130
metres in length.
14.6 At Sanctioned events, other than Nationals, tracks must be a minimum of 2.4 metres wide.
14.7 The straight for starting finals, will be a minimum of 20 metres long, with no obstructions, including any
form of jump, sudden rise or fall.
