This week’s highlight on the BRCA calendar is the GT12 National Grand Prix — a flagship GT12 event bringing racers from across the country together for a full weekend of competitive racing and community motorsport fun. 

The GT12 National Grand Prix is the premier national event in the GT12 championship this season, running in a Grand Prix format designed to give every competitor plenty of track time and racing action over two days. 

• Tamworth Radio Racing Auto Club — a central venue well-equipped to host a major national GT12 meeting with excellent facilities and a welcoming atmosphere for drivers and spectators alike.  

Saturday (31st Jan)

• Afternoon session kicks off around 3:00 pm

• Multiple practice sessions to get dialled in

• 3 qualifying runs to set the grids for finals

Sunday (1st Feb)🏆 Competitive Format & Titles

• FTQ Qualifying: Fastest Time of the Qualifier decides Top Qualifier (TQ) for finals.  
• Finals: Three legs with the best two results counting toward the finals positions.  
• National Champion: The winner of the main A Final earns the title of GT12 National Champion.  
• Junior Champion: A separate title awarded to the top-performing junior (based on qualifying results for BRCA Junior licence holders).  

The event is open to all GT12 racers with:

• a car conforming to current BRCA GT12 technical rules, and
• a valid BRCA racing licence.  

There are no restrictions on age, gender, or ability — making this one of the most inclusive national events on the BRCA calendar. 

In addition to the on-track action, organisers hope to run a concourse to showcase the best-painted bodyshells and encourage a bit of creativity and community spirit among entrants. 

• Transponder Reminder: Pure RC4 transponders (AMB Purcy and Pro) are not permitted at this event — check your equipment before you race.  
• Entry Cut-Off: Entries close soon — check the BRCA website for availability and late entry rules.  

Make sure your membership and licence are up to date before racing. 

As always, the BRCA encourages clean, fair, and respectful racing — #racewithrespect 

Get ready for a weekend of fast laps, tight battles, and great racing spirit — best of luck to everyone hitting the track this week!
