2022 BRCA 1/12th Rd1 & Rd2 report

Rounds 1 and 2 of the BRCA 12th Circuit Section Nationals were held last weekend in Eastbourne. This was the first national competition for the section since before the pandemic so was well anticipated. There has been a change to the format of the series with the LMP12 and GT Circuit sections combining forces and offering a GT12 class and a 13.5 stock LMP12 class. The championship is being held over 6 rounds with 4 counting rounds. The Eastbourne club laid out a large track at their Robertsbridge facility using the excellent carpet used at the 2020 World Championships.

There was a capacity entry of 30 GT12 drivers and 56 LMP12 drivers.
