The NE interclub has been the same for years really - if someone needs extra drivers people just go with whatever club. I've always been Teesside / Durham depending on who had a team / needed drivers even though I haven't been a member of either for years. Infact, one year I think we were Tees-ham! They often just make a team up on the day too with any "stragglers" that turn up.
With the NE its 5 4wd and 5 2wd drivers per team and each team has a driver in each heat but they work it so there's a heat list of say, 50 heats rather than having rounds so you end up racing with different people. The F5s start at the normal place with the F1s almost a lap behind and there's no limits on F1s etc per team.
Although I doubt this format would work since I'm sure there'd be more than 10 clubs competing in a National version. Unless you did a kind of knock out competition... or worked it so the heat listing spread over the entire weekend.
Who knows...!
