*Attention all drivers for BDC RD1* - Drifting forum

Ladies and gents

Following on from this thread > BDC Licences

ALL DRIVERS must have a licence to compete at a BDC event.

Due to the number of cars competing in the BDC in 2008 drivers are judged for licences based on consistency.

During qualifying drivers will be expected to complete one practice lap and three judged laps without spinning ! ! !

Qualifying will consist of a total of over 225 laps !!!!!

With this in mind, drivers who have paid for round one of the championship and fail to gain a licence on or before March 22nd will recieve a full refund of entry money.

The drivers on the reserve list with a licence will be offered these places at the normal prices.

There are at the moment 4 oppertunities to get your licences before or on the 22nd March.

Please refer to the following threads for details.

Teesside dates

Silverstone licencing day

We are hoping to run one more licencing day at Silverstone and more at Norfolk Arena, Kings Lynn in March, details will be announced if these dates are confirmed.

At this time we have no plans to run a licencing day in Scotland.

Drivers MUST have a licence on or before March 22nd !

Drivers renewing their licence MUST send photographs

Drivers gaining their licences must pay for licences at licencing days

All drivers must send photographs via email

bdc@live.co.uk

Or

Post to

BDC
PO Box 496
Boston
PE21 6JX

Drivers competing at round one will recieve them when signing on

Many thanks

The BDC team

Last time the qualifying runs were the best 2 out of 3, allowing a spin. This time is it still the 2 best runs count? Or are all 3 runs added together hense spin = fail?

Having such a strict rule on spinning in the early qualifying runs would put many off from "going big" favouring a boring but safe run. Seems like it might ruin some of the entertainment.

Licensing day at Norfolk sounds good too!

Hello Mike

This is purely stating that this is what will be expected, not a rule.

Judging will be the same as last year, 3 judged runs, best 2 will score.

Many thanks

Ah right that's great, cheers BDC peeps. I don't want to be spinning but it's nice to know spin doesn't mean end of the competition

You'll be fine Ian, we'll get you sorted

I'd love for my car to look "Pimptastic"

Baba · 18-01-2008, 00:01

I prefer the spinuu = fail rule

makes the competition more interesting.

Will sort the one trick ponies from the consistent skilled drivers.

Er... hmm... well either way sounds good I dont mind. Lets skid

Pikey · 18-01-2008, 14:10

Not in qualifying tho - we want people to be able to go balls-out to entertain the crowd when they're only watching one car. Later in the amateur comp it should be 2 runs, both count (I think, anyway)

MJG · 18-01-2008, 14:52

I agree with Jeff.

Chris_200SX · 18-01-2008, 15:32

surely this is only the case for getting a license or at least thats what the first post read like to me?

BDC · 18-01-2008, 15:42

Ladies and gents

Just to clarify

Licencing is being judged on consistency, with the number of drivers competing this season the drivers will be expected to be able to string together a series of good runs.

During qualifying at BDC events we will be running the same as Eurodrift 2007.

4 runs

1 practice

3 judged

Best 2 scores to count.

Many thanks

The BDC team.

Back on topic please ladies and gents
