How about providing 5 EXTRA places reserved ONLY for foreign entries? That way no national drivers would be "pushed out".
Can anybody copy+paste your BRCA rules in the forum as to how the qualification and license system works?
Nats:
I don't quite understand...
1) There's 130 drivers in 2WD saturday and 130 drivers in 4WD sunday?
2) Anyone with a F1-F5 licencse can take part as long as there is enough places?
3) F1 has precedence over F2 and so on I guess.
4) Does only regional points from the previous year qualify for F licenses?
5) Do you have to qualify first for F5, then F4 and so on? Or can you qualify directly to F1?
6) In which regionals is the level the highest. Do the best drivers in the UK do regionals?
There is only speak about the tops dogs in the world visiting. How about mere mortals who dream about doing a race in the UK and learn from the best 1:10 OR drivers in the world? For example here in Norway there's approx. 10-20 drivers in total in the Nats round, very big contrast to the UK...
We wouldn't have the time nor money to do all the Nats rounds + regionals to qualify. How about some reserved "foreign friendly entries"? Share the planet!
We can even bring some norwegian salmon! (or blondes)...
Keep in mind we would be talking about a VERY small amount of extra participants here, it's a minor detail really! I'd also really like to see a comment from a BRCA representative to hear their view.
Btw. how is the situation for other UK classes? Any more classes with this amount of entries? We used to have 200+ entries for 1:10 OR in Norway in the 80s... but now only 1:8 OR (70-80 pr. race) and 200mm (30-40 pr. race) are blossoming. 1:5 is also doing OK. The rest is in bad shape...
