Season 19 Spec Race Challenge - Round 1 - GoodwoodWelcome to the inaugural race of the Spec Challenge Series, kicking off in sunny Sussex at Goodwood.
We will run two races on the same circuit. Two chassis are available, you must use one in each race. Use the same car twice earns you a disqualification in the second race. Over the course of the series we will be running predominantly the 65 mod but (by popular vote) one race in each of the 66, 67 and 69 mods. Your choice of chariot for this occasion is the 1965 BRM and the BT7. BRM has a clear speed advantage but the Brab may hold its own in the sweeping curves.
The Spec Series is a full championship with standard points scoring. In addition the moderator (lucky me) will also tally up every drivers fastest race lap & compare the chassis head to head. For your time to count in the “Spec Challenge” you must complete more than 50% distance in both races. Resets are allowed so don’t retire because of a bad start.
Also the Spec Series in the only GPL championship to be decided exclusively by driver skill, no handicapping applies.

Due to the number of races moderating will be light touch - reported incidents only, however the moderators reserve the right to review any incident with a particular emphasis on lap one. The aim is to review the race the following weekend so incident reports should be submitted within five days of the race (ie the following Friday). We're hopeful most incidents can be resolved amicably. A sorry in the forum won't be taken as an automatic admission of guilt by the moderators.
The Championship is split into two sub-divisions, the Light Brigade & the Heavy Brigade. The driver allocation is set out below (Transfer requests may be made to the moderator)
