OK kiddies, get the teddies back in the pram!!
I think this just goes to show that Roger has a point, and that whatever is or is not agreed at the EGM next year, I do have to make things clearer for everyone.
The GT12 Rules are laid out the same way as the 12th Rules and in accordance with the BRCA Constitution. When voting for Rule changes, all Construction rule changes require a 2/3rds majority of those voting to be passed. Procedural, organisational, class and racing rules only require a simple majority of those voting.
In order for 21.5/2S to be included as a National class it must be a Construction Rule. It was voted in as a Construction rule. We then voted on whether it should be a class for Nationals and that failed. The idea was that since low-cost speedos did not have a 1S capability, and fitting receiver packs or boosters was an additional complication for new drivers, 2S/21.5 would be a good option for new drivers so it was left there to help clubs and meeting organisers.
Since then, two things have happened. 1S/13.5 has become the majority choice in clubs who have taken up GT12 - more clubs race this combo than 2S/21.5 - and there have been at least two good, low-cost 1S compatible speedos made available. Since we cannot make equivalence between 1S and 2S cars (been there, done that in GT10 - it doesn't work!) we have reached the point we are now.
The desire for the BRCA to set something up for clubs to use is quite evident, so that is what we will do. If we do it in Appendix form it allows us to respond faster to updates from clubs on which motors/cells are being used and are fixed timing/hard-cased. If we (I!) keep it up to date it is of more value to racers and club committees.
I hope that explains it better. Contacting me isn't the exclusive preserve of Trev and Mark, anyone can. Clicking the 'Send a message' tab on my profile usually gets that job done, or contacting me through the BRCA website. HTH
