BRCA Announcement:
The BRCA is pleased to announce it's calendar of events for the 2012/13 National Championship for 1/12th scale electric cars. As usual, the championships will be contested over 6 indoor rounds on carpet, with each driver's best 4 scores counting towards their final placing in the series. During the season we will visit many of the established venues, but also a couple of new ones. The racing format has been re-evaluated with the hope of attracting more younger and less experienced drivers to the series by offering classes for slower motors and simpler cars as well as retaining the classic open modified class for those who wish to race it. Drivers from overseas are invited to race with us, as are UK based competitors of all ages and experience levels.
The calendar and classes are as follows:
- October 13th/14th - Teesside
- November 17th/18th - Chesterfield
- December 8th/9th - Tamworth
- February 16th/17th - Plymouth
- March 16th/17th - Stafford
- April 20th/21st - Tonbridge
Note: There will be no national championship round on the usual January date due to a prestigious invitational race event being hosted by the BRCA at the Autosport International Racing Car Show. Several manufacturers have already been contacted in relation to this, but to find out more about this or the national series you can email
12csec@brca.org.
