The online tyre vote for the 2010 BRCA Nationals is NOW CLOSED . The control tyres for the 2010 Nationals and Juniors will be the following:

If you scored points in the 2009 National series and are logged in you will be able to vote, anyone else can only view the vote. There were 3 tyres submitted for the dry tyre vote but only one for the wets, so there will not be a wet tyre vote this year.

The 2010 championship vote is now closed and the slick tyre selected by the drivers. BRCA 2010 Slicks: Sorex 32R - as prepared and supplied by Schumacher Racing. BRCA 2010 Wets: Pit Shimizu D01J - as prepared and supplied by Schumacher Racing.

The tyre submission pack for the 2010 Championship were sent out to the following importers/distributors. As per normal in the interests of transparency this document is available here in PDF format for all members to read.

The provisional 2010 Nationals/Junior calendar.
  
 

There will be a club race meeting the weekend prior to each national for those wishing to familiarise themselves with the track.
 

The series calendar is now all sorted and fixed, I don't expect it to change from this list now at all.
  

To allow people to recover from their Christmas and New Year celebrations booking in will open after the new year, at 6pm on the 11th January 2010.

Now that the TC AGM is over and the rules now fixed I can now reveal the only change I have been considering for the STCC rules. All classes in the STCC will now have a minimum weight limit of 1350grams. I will admit that it is a little lower than I would prefer, but since the TC section has also adopted the LiPo across the board battery rule that the STCC has had for 2 years already, it now means that drivers can continue to use their cars and all their equipment, including batteries, in other championships as well. My advice is, if you choose to get the weight down do not sacrifice the balance of your chassis for the sake of a lower weight. Poor weight distribution will have a much larger effect on your lap times than this weight.
 

Team Corally, who provide the main prizes for the top three overall championship class winners, have also agreed to provide 8 Corally Touring Car kits as the FTD draw prizes, one for each of the rounds of the 2010 STCC. This is a fantastic gesture by Corally and shows the loyalty and huge support that the Team Corally factory have for the Championship and all the drivers who support it.....

 
4 bodyshells from HPI/Hot Bodies and 1 from East Coast Bodies have been added to the 190mm Touring Car approved body-shell list. The Moore-Speed #66813, #66816 and #66817,  the HPI #61738 and the East Coast Bodies EC168M609 2009 M-Speed 6.

The Club Listing and Mapping area has been upgraded yet again and now displays icons representing the classes racing at the club in the club pop-up info box. Please check if your club is there and if you find any missing or incorrect details, or just a missing clubs, please contact the site admin to have the information updated.

I have just created a new system enhancement to the drivers profiles and entry lists. If you would like to have your picture available in the entry lists to other drivers, just add the picture to your drivers profile using the new "Add/Update Image" button in the blue menu bar. If you upload a picture it will be visible to you in your personal profiles page alongside your details and it will also be available in the entry lists of any event where you have you an entry. If there is an image available, a small icon appear alongside your name on the entry list, just move the mouse over it. It is entirely up to you if you wish to do this or not and entry lists can only be viewed by registered and logged in members of the site.
