247 Paul Xuereb, 420 Adie Baker and 903 Mike Spence have each been suspended, under Rule 4 and Rule 95, for racing at an unlicenced track (Ringwood).

Well it would be nice to see BriSCA tell us exactly how these rules are worded & how long they have been suspended for.
Is it because of inadequate safety provision or no insurance or what. All very vague.
Or is it like the BSCDA decisions, a secret and sod all to do with the fans?

Can see briscas point in not wanting there drivers racing elsewhere to be honest

I believe that all Brisca tracks have to pass certain safety criteria to achieve insurable status. All tracks that come under the Brisca banner are therefore insured and so are the drivers that race on them.

If drivers are licensed to Brisca then they are insured. Racing at non Brisca tracks would therefore deem them to be uninsured.

But, I stand to be corrected.

insured for what exactly. Tracks should be insured for public liability anyway and if a driver has any sense they have personal accident insurance. On top of this is it not a breach of your rights not to be able to take your f2 eg and go to Grimley, Warton or were ever has a similar spec class and race.

Isn't it because there's a rule that says if you have a BriSCA F2 licence then you can only race your BriSCA F2 car at BriSCA F2 tracks.

i.e. you can either be part of BriSCA or part of some other track/club/organisation. But not both.

I don't think it's anything to do with insurance.

No but, the reason independent tracks aren't Brisca sanctioned is

so that means a driver could use a car for brisca and build there own for non brisca tracks? Question

When you take out a F2 licence it`s printed on the licence application that it`s an offence to drive at non Brisca tracks. All drivers agree to this when they take out a licence so i dont see how anyone can complain when they get suspended for breaking this rule, it`s no diffecult to understand is it.

Taken from the Brisca f2 site`s application form -

DECLARATION:- I declare to the best of my knowledge and belief that the above answers are true.
I understand that it is an offence to drive a Stock Car or compete in a Stock Car Meeting on a track not recognised and licensed by the Stock Car
Racing Board of Control F2 Ltd. I further understand that if a licence is granted it is obligatory to study and understand the Official Regulations that
govern Stock Car Racing and that no legal action can be taken against the Board or its Officials on any decision or any matter connected with F2
Stock Car Racing under the Stock Car Racing Board of Control F2 Ltd. Regulations

Public Liabaility is a completly different thing to competitors insurance and safety. Its a complicated matter really.

The drivers have signed a contract with brisca so they have to race an F2 to their rules and agreements..its not against their human rights or whatever to say they cant race an F2 elsewhere!! its part of the contract / race licence agreement, its always been this way in many formulas of the sport. If they get paid start money then they have to abide by the rules.

..a slightly off topic, but was also just reading in the F1 World Final programme how Roger Spencer, once raced at Nelson and they refused his bookings at Long Eaton after that! It was a common thing up till the 80's for promotions to get upset about drivers racing elsewhere or missing a meeting at their hometrack.
