Nationals format proposal Rejected -
The existing 1 min qualifying, segmented heats & segmented final format will be replaced
with a set of single run races :-
All drivers have 4 separate 3 min qualifying runs, best two to count for qualifying.
Semi Finals
5 minute single run semi finals for the top 24 overall
Single run finals-
Overall for the top 8 from the semis,
Main Grade for the top 8 main grade drivers from the heats (who don't make the overall final)
IMPLEMENTATION If passed this will be implemented at the 2022 Nationals. In 2016 the BSCRA membership vote required that much notice for changes to Nationals format could be introduced.
This doesn't prevent emergency changes being made for 2020 only because of the COVID restrictions.

Invitation to Propose BSCRA Rule Changes
BSCRA members are welcome to propose changes to BSCRA rules other than car and track standards. (This year BSCRA is in the middle of a two year freeze on car and track standards.) The proposal need to be proposed and seconded by current BSCRA members. All proposals must be received by the BSCRA secretary (Chris Frost ) by 1st July 2020, although we recommend you get any proposals in before the deadline.
The proposals will then be reviewed by the Competition Rules Committee / Council (in consultation with the proposer). BSCRA members will then vote on them and the decision will be published at the beginning of October. Any changes will come into force on 1st January 2021 unless agreed otherwise.
Please note that the 2 year rule freeze doesn’t apply to adding new products to the
approved list, as most of you know, new bodyshells are added to the approved list
several times a year.
