Championship Details

Junior Rookie races do not form part of a championship, and are one off races each time. A Rookie driver can be eligible to move up to the 13-16 Pro Championship Class after having competed in a minimum of three Rookies races and a discussion with the race director. The 13-16 Pro class features this season a 4 round winter championship of which the best 3 scores will count. This allows for missed a round or to drop a disappointing result.
