Catering for every kind of vehicle from standard production to single

Speed Championship offers 14 rounds at some of the best circuit,
sprint and hillclimb venues in the country.

The Championship scoring ensures that everyone has a shot at the
overall award (the amazing Wilkinson Sword) & is based on established
class records providing points opportunities for every type of car-
it's been won by Production cars more than once- and the combination
of disciplines and locations means you can plan your season according
to your budget. Indeed, many entrants have tried the championship
in completely standard road cars and found themselves competitive
in class - a cost -effective way of entering motorsport.
The awards are generous. The Overall Winner receives the unique
Wilkinson Sword (with the names of many speed luminaries already
on it) plus £250. The runner up £100 and a Trophy, along
with trophies for class winners. Rallye
Communications Ltd runs a Top Six Challenge for fastest times
set at a meeting with a trophy and £75 for the winner with
trophy and £25 to the runner up. Last but not least, for Production
and Roadgoing classes, Emerald
offer the winner a Days Rolling road and use of their set up facilities.

SCORING SYSTEM FOR 2010
The system is based entirely on your
time measured against the championship class record.
So, assuming you were 0.25 seconds slower than the
class record, you would score 19.75 points. If you
were 5.00 seconds slower, you would score 15 points
and so on down to a minimum of 5 points.
BUT - IF you beat the class reord by 0.21 then
you score 20.21 points. I hope this will overcome
the ongoing lottery of how many people compete
in your class - it won't matter in 2009. All you
have to do is go faster - and that is what speed
events are all about!
