So from Kent to Northamptonshire and another track we know well. Silverstone. This track was the first to hold a modern F1 GP as we know it and has always been regarded as one of the fastest venues on the calendar. A converted airfield, you can still see the runways (although you can't drive down them, I know, I've tried). With the disparity in power available, an exciting race is in prospect.
You all know the difficulties with the poor rear view in these cars so please be aware that the car in front maybe cannot see you and does not know you are there. Particularly on the first racing lap!

Driver lists can be found on the
championship standings pageThere will be rolling starts for all races with full moderation of both the warm-up and first lap.
Guidelines for rolling starts...
The car on pole will lead off the grid and maintain a steady pace for the 1st lap around 175kph
All drivers should form up in single file behind him leaving 3-4 car lengths between each car.
There is NO OVERTAKING on the 1st lap until the exit of the last corner.
It is the reponsibility of the lead car to ensure that all drivers are with him as he approaches the final corner.
Racing and overtaking begin AFTER the exit of the last corner, so you may overtake between the exit of the last corner and the S/F line.
Any driver who loses his position on the rolling lap, by going off, blowing his engine or through contact with another car ( regardless of fault) must rejoin at the back of the field.
Incidents on the rolling lap ( Lap 1) will be fully modded and anyone found to have caused another competitor to lose position through bad driving will be penalised appropriately.
Also, please make sure that you know which car you should be following on the rolling lap, so that you do NOT get out of position.
The teams have been chosen and the cars are polished and ready to go.

All drivers must drive all 3 team cars at least 3 times. At the end of the 10 race championship any TEAM found to be in breach of this rule will have its BEST TEAM points result of the season cancelled. Each driver will drop his worst 2 results, in line with the other championships, this gets over the problem of missed races and 2 man teams looking for a sub at the last minute.
The events will be run on Intermediate damage and allow
ONE Shift-R with a compulsory
10 second pit stop regardless of fault. (This means
10 seconds in your pitbox without moving). Any driver who fails to take a 10 second stop within 1 lap after a Shift-R, will be disqualified from the results. For this division the full moderation of lap one now applying across all divisions will include both the warm up lap and lap one proper.
