Handicapping.
The 67 series will continue to use tokens, although this is not a form of handicapping.
In the interest of having a competitive championship the faster drivers are requested to voluntarily select car that suits your ability, from Race 1. If you are consistently qualifying at the front of the grid,  finishing on the podium & recording fastest lap then you should be not be taking a faster car.
The championship will be reviewed after Race 3. Drivers may then be allocated to one of the following handicap groups
Group 1 BRM, Honda, or Cooper,
Group 2 as above + Brabham
Group 3 as above + Ferrari

There is no red zone for this championship. Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents do carry an extra 1 place penalty.

Voting is now open.

Please see the main race post for details of a new handicap arrangement for Season 30.

[Billy Nobrakes]

There was a question last season about how / where a Stop & Go should be performed. After consideration the following etiquette is recommended.
If you are the first car entering the pit lane to take your SnG aim to bring the car to a halt alongside the last pit stall - closest to the exit. As soon as your car is stationary you can go. You won't be penalised if you stop a little short or beyond the pit stall.
In the event that more than one car takes a SnG at the same time the following cars can perform their Stop & Go in line.
No overtaking in the pit lane.
No change to the guidance to take your SnG within two laps.

The first driver to be 'asked' to take a slower car should be named and shamed
