The Intermediates Trophy will use a chassis allocation style handicap. Drivers will be allocated a chassis group which will be used to determine the chassis they can drive for the season. Once they have been allocated a group they must use a chassis from that group for the entire season unless the moderator has permitted or requested a change. Drivers will have a choice of chassis from within their group which can vary from race to race. The faster the driver, the fewer (and slower) chassis that they will be able to select.
It is to be hoped that the Intermediates, like the Novices, will be a close championship. We do keep an eye on chassis allocation throughout the season, and people in a chassis that is too fast or too slow for them will be reviewed as the season progresses.
The chassis will be split into five groups as below. Drivers will have free choice of ANY chassis within their group:
Group I
Lotus, Ferrari, BRM, Honda, BT11, Cooper, BT7
GROUP 2
BRM, Honda, BT11, Cooper, BT7
GROUP 3
BT11, Cooper, BT7
GROUP 4
Cooper, BT7
GROUP 5
BT7
Since drivers have a free choice within their group, they will need to consider, on a circuit by circuit basis which car will best suit their needs. Control and a reliable setup may be more important than outright speed.
We will maintain a table with Chassis groups here, which we will expand as the registrations come in. Please feel free to post your chassis or group choice here.
