  1. The Championship will be held under the general regulations of the Motor Sports Association (incorporating the provisions of the International Sporting Code of the FIA), these Supplementary Regulations, and written instructions issued by the Championship Coordinator and any written instructions that the organising clubs of the individual events may issue.
  1. The MSA Permit waiver number is 9/2015
  1. The Championship will consist of 11 rounds. 6 of the 11 rounds will count towards the competitors overall and class score. If any counting rounds are cancelled the number of counting scores will be as follows:-

No of rounds run / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6
No of counting Scores / 6 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4 / 4
  1. Competitors must start 4 rounds to be eligible for an award.

6.The championship registration fee is £10.00 each per Driver or Co-Driver. All cheques should be made payable to ANECCC STAGE RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP. It is not necessary for both crewmembers to be registered for the Championship. All registered contenders must be members of a motor club that is currently a member of The Association Of North East And Cumbria Car Clubs. The Championship Promoters reserve the right to ask competitors to produce full membership cards for a current ANECCC club at anytime throughout the Championship.

7.A list of registered contenders will be supplied to clubs organising rounds of the Championship. However, the onus is on the competitor to ensure that they receive the event regulations and an entry is submitted to the organisers before the stated closing date for entries. No guarantee of acceptance of entry is made by the event or championship promoters.

  1. Any car carrying a registered contender must carry 2 championship decals, one on each side of the car, throughout the event for which they wish to claim points. Spot checks will be made throughout the year. These decals will be issued to each contender when they register and a supply will normally be available at signing on for each event. It is the responsibility of the contender to make sure they can obtain decals when required.
  1. The championship will consist of five classes for drivers and co-drivers.

Class 1. Up to 1400cc

Class 2. 1401cc to 1600cc

All turbo and rotary engines will be subject to a capacity loading of 1.7, except diesel-powered engines. These classes are not mandatory for the events within the championship.

  1. Events that use a different class structure to that used by the Championship the results will be calculated according to the classes used in the Championship. For example, for the purpose of calculating championship scores, an event with a class capacity 1301 - 1600cc, all event entries with an engine capacity of 1301cc-1400cc will be placed in Class 1, and all event entries with an engine capacity of 1401cc-1600cc will be placed in Class 2. Also where cars in the championship engine capacity classes are split (ie. into Group N, Group A and Historic), all the resulting classes will be combined prior to calculating Championship points.
  1. Registered contenders will automatically be eligible to score points once they have started an event. Points are calculated from the total number of crews in that class on that individual event and not just from registered contenders.

1 point is awarded for starting an event and then a percentage of the starters beaten in each individual class is added. (Fractions will be rounded to nearest whole number with any halves rounded up)
