If you guys didn't race in the regionals last year then you'll have the basic F5 grading that all new drivers get.
You can still put an entry in for these events, but F5's get the lowest priority if the entry numbers are high, as it's meant to give priority to the regions best drivers.
But...if our regional entry is low, then you'd be surprised who gets in.
Personally, if your interested, put entries in...and see what happens! What's the worst that can happen.
Doing these events is a great introduction into the wider world of BRCA events, racing people you don't know, seeing how the big boys do it, and improving your own driving as every race is ref'd. Your driving standard and ettiquette is really put to the test...and gives you new goals to aim for if you want to progress
