Purely for info as I'm never likely to every get there

You can only get a F-1 from the Nationals. The top % decides this.
You can get F-2 from Nationals and Regionals. This depends on how many people complete the series.
F- 3,4,5 comes from regionals.

Ok so you also get local club racing where you can go do what you like and regionals. Where and when do the regionals occur?

Can you compete in Nationals or do you need to prove yourself locally first?

You can only gain or improve your F grade at Nationals or Regionals, Not club racing, it has to be a sanctioned BRCA event/series.
Of course National series are easy to track, but Regional series are far more local, there are no specific boundaries, but regionals take place all over the country, perhaps the BRCA website will give you the existing regions and you could see if your close to any.

A good example is TORCH, they are not south east nor are they the south or the south west as the r/c scene in those 2 regions is small, the SE is far better, but at the moment TORCH is a good club without a region.

Of course to be recognised by the BRCA clubs/tracks have to be BRCA affiliated.

Anyone can enter Nationals but priority is (basically) given in order of licence grading. Realistically you'd be better off getting up to decent club level first, then try some regionals (see the Nationals & Regionals section on here).

Is there one?

The South East is Booming, even though they didn't get a National...CO**S!!!!
I believe there is a South West region down by Tiverton, a small bit of racing down in Wales, but both are getting stronger, the only club in the South I know of is TORCH, and they could join either regions if they are voted in, like I said the regionals have no definite boundaries.
We don't have a specific website for us down in the heart of the country, but all the info you want can be found on here.
