It's a good rule Pidge, but personally I don't agree with the part about the top five finishers at the EOS finals gaining a new license. I think an F1 should be achieved through hard work throughout the 6 round national series... someone who does not do any nats but then comes along to the BRC finals for example, happens to come say 3rd, they gain an F1 without even attending a national through the year? Doesn't seem fair to me... not when the guy who has come 16th in the nat series misses out after some really good results through the national season... and if he is an F1 previously, doesn't get to bump up through the BRC ch'ship... or is F2, can go, but has a shocking day. That part of the rule needs a rethink I think... a license grade should not be achieved off your performance at a one-off event.
Plus surely being crowned "British Regional Champion" or "F3/4/5 National Champion" means enough for people to have an incentive at EOS finals and gives meaning to the event anyway.
Just my view... good attempt at a proposal though, just needs a tweak I believe.
