Chief Moderator: Phil Thornton
This season we will run four championships over two race nights. The season will be the conventional length with ten rounds in each championship. Drivers will drop two rounds so that only the best eight results count.
The first two seasons for the 1955 Grand Prix cars received mixed reviews with some drivers finding the lack of brakes difficult to cope with. However there are still enough enthusiastic drivers to warrant another outing of the 1955 cars this season. The token system is established and it will be retained for Season 34. The braking distances are difficult to judge but given that most drivers are expected to have completed two full seasons, there should not be as many incidents this time. Consequently the races will be run under PRO damage.
Drivers of all abilities who enjoy the 66mod can enter the 1966 F1 division. The token system will be used again this season. Drivers will have a free choice of 2L or 3L machines. The races will be run under PRO damage.
A UKGPL season would not be complete without the 1967 Grand Prix Machines. We will be running the Works and Privateers divisions again using the normal token system. The Works will be PRO damage whereas the Privateers will be allowed one reset.
The fourth series will feature the 1969 Extra F1 Cars. The year 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 season so it is fitting to run a full season for these very quick cars. A token system will be used for the first time in these cars. The slower drivers will be given additional tokens at the start of the season. If there are enough entrants two servers will be provided. The races will be run under PRO rules if there is only one server.
As ever, drivers are being asked to read the rules, dates and track selection for each division and enter the divisions, they prefer. The objective here is to ensure the drivers are happy with the rules, dates and track selection of their chosen division(s) before committing to the season. The moderators reserve the right to adjust the driver allocation as necessary should there be sufficient entries to justify more than one grid.
Drivers will not be restricted to entering a single division. Drivers can enter as many divisions as they like.
The number of tokens available to each driver in the 55GP, 66F1 and 69xF1 will be managed outside SRou in dedicated spreadsheets. The tokens available to each driver will be declared in the race announcements. The tokens for the 67F1 cars will be managed in SRou and will be available on the championship page.
