Im guessing that they are the same weekend as 1/12th nationals but even if that is true you'd need to know where to look for that info.
At the risk of being rude, which I don't intend to be, it does come across as if GT12 is a bit of a closed class for people already involved with the pan car scene.

It seems to have the potential to be a great class to get new racers involved & could encourage the keen club racer to take the next step, both cases will appreciate being spoon feed clear info.

I've been racing more than a quarter of a century & I'm struggling to get the info I need so newer drivers must be totally confused.

Looking forward to getting on track with GT12 in the new year
Roger, here's what we did...

We did assume that people would know that GT12 was part of the 12th Section. On the BRCA website, you click on the 12th Section. From there a link appears to 1/12th Circuit GT12 which links to how the Nationals work for GT12. Click on that link and you get a complete page of details about the Nationals including the dates and all the links you need to enter. Three clicks from 12th Section to National dates we thought would make it easy - sorry it wasn't for you!

I didn't check RudolfXC's link above, but if I had I would have posted this link and asked you to follow the link to the Nationals page once you had read about how we run GT12 at the Nationals.

Far from being a closed shop, we have welcomed new drivers at every National this year in the GT12 class, and I have had e-mails and PMs from a lot of people simply asking how to get involved. At every National there have been places available to anyone who wants to enter, even at the last minute of the entry deadline. By far the majority of people have taken part at clubs up and down the country, and they've been in touch too.

Can't speak for other 'newer' drivers, but having had new faces at every National so we thought it was OK. We live and learn...
