THE RULES

THE WEEKEND

Entry

Entry is by using the official form only. View the registration form here and print it - then complete it and send it with your cheque(s) to Richard Isherwood at the address on the form. Alternatively if you would like the rules and entry form posted to you please e-mail Eurocup or contact Richard Isherwood on 01274 690002 between 7pm and 9pm.  Any other questions about racing can also be answered by e-mail or by phoning Richard.

There is also a Junior Championship for the Stock class for any competitor who was born after 1st January 1987. To enter this, please tick the box on the entry form.

The Entry Fee is £6 per class per meeting. In addition a £15 fee is payable in relation to the hand out motor for Stock Touring, and £20 for Formula 1 and Rally classes. This fee should be included in your initial payment.

As this is a substantial outlay post dated cheques are accepted, however all entries must be paid 14 days prior to the meeting.

In the event that a round is oversubscribed then priority will be given to those that are a) booked in first and b) likely to complete in 5 rounds or more. Those that are unfortunate will be informed by telephone during the week prior to the meeting.

Spares

A model shop will be present at each round to supply you with spares - hop-ups and for those breakages! This will be Cheshire Models; their details are on the links page.

Refreshments

Refreshments will be available at each round to keep you sustained, but usually only on the Sunday. Please put rubbish in the bins provided or take it home with you. Toilets are also available, but you may need to supply your own loo paper!

Camping and Accommodation

Camping facilities will be available trackside or nearby. For those who wish to use local B&B, guesthouse or hotels please see the information provided for each track.

Points

Although this is a series of eight meetings, only your best five will count towards the overall championship, except in the event of a tie, when the sixth round result will be used, and so on if there is still a tie. Points are scored relative to the position you achieve in your final, with the addition of a further point for the TQ (Top Qualifier) position.

Eurobonds

At each of the eight qualifying rounds Tamiya Eurobonds will be awarded. They will be awarded to the winner of each final, except for the A final where the top three will receive Eurobonds. The bonds are redeemable trackside at each round of the Eurocup - at the Cheshire Models shop.
