Introduction
After 2020’s cancelled championship, which was subsequently replaced by a completely virtual series, 2021 will see us hopefully evolving back towards something a bit more familiar.
We hope to once again provide you with the widest possible selection of events whilst also reflecting the careful and safe return to ‘real’ racing which we anticipate will happen across the year. With that in mind, the Championship will NOT be announced in full as it is normally and instead we will release details of future events throughout the year. With many restrictions still in place as we begin, some of the events will be virtual ones, giving us a hybrid championship unique in the club’s 10-year history!
Your best 7 scores will count again, to be accumulated from an eventual 16 events. If circumstances allow we hope to include rounds from other series such as the PECO and HDSRL series and possibly some parkruns later in the year.
