An explanation for those new to ‘A’ & ‘B’ Formatting…. Subject to race meeting programming, at some meetings there may be the opportunity to continue our 'come one - come all' racing format where we will not have any reserves (dependent on circuit grid numbers). There will be two qualifying sessions where the top half of each will qualify for race 2 ‘A’ group and the lower ‘B’ group are in race 1.
Top finishers in race 1 then go to the rear of race 2 subject to grid space.
It works well makes life interesting and like abilities race together.
HFF Over 50's scoring system Apart from '4 dropped scores' points allocation will mirror that of the main championship, with the top 15 drivers receiving points with 25 points for a win, then 20, 16, 14, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 for 15th place.
In most cases at each meeting there is an allowance of 10% additional reserve entries in qualifying, entry fees returned (less £25) for non-starters.
