what do you want from this bickering?
is it a case of trying to p*ss of as many people as possible?
Are you trying to cause problems for the SCT class before the first National series starts?
The class is not governed by BRCA, EFRA, FIFA or any other organisation.
The series organisers have said reverse must be disabled... its got nothing to do with any other organisation so your arguing is invalid
for a start it puts everyone in the same situation and its only you with the problem.
If you seriously cannot race without going backwards, then maybe you should go play reversing at a national touring car meeting and see what happens!

no twisty has a problem too!!!
no i just dont see the need to ban reverse when others dont!
you were the first one to start quoting brca

I strongly agree with the organisers and Graveltrap's last comment...
In R/C racing reverse is not allowed, simple!... only class i know of is Mardaves and after seeing some of their national racing recently, all that ever happens is cars reverse out of barriers very slowly into path of oncoming cars... crash!
this not acceptable and will only cause arguments when a truck going along with flow of circuit direction gets broken because of a car reversing in front of them.
I agree that marshals will make a split second decision and head for a car that looks to be stuck facing markings etc.. not good if suddenly the stranded car backs up and leaves a marshal heading across track for no reason.
If its a major issue and enough drivers feel they need reverse... run a Novice class for cars running reverse and they can drive which way they want without upsetting the racers used to forward only.

well it IS allowed!

The majority will not be running reverse, it won't be fair to have a vote on it during the first round briefing as reverse fans will easily be out voted.
I've never seen it be an issue before!
The BRCA rules also state it is an offence to drive the wrong way on a track... whch reversing is technically breaking that rule.
Reverse could also be seen as an unfair advantage to those having to wait for marshals
Seperate classes... it makes it easier on marshalling and fairer to other drivers.

the red bits, well you make your mind up if you want to qoute em or not!
