WRXSA 2024 Club Championship Scoring
For the 2024 Motorsport season, WRXSA will be using the proven system of a combination of Personal Best (PB) and Outright Results (OR), both totalled together to give you an overall for each round towards the Club Championship. This generates a fair system for both the novice and the experienced as beginners can benefit the PB’s and experts can rely on being fastest on the day.

Personal Best
Each Club Championship entrant is to submit their personal best for each round prior to participating. Scoring will be calculated on point per second of bettering your PB. Scoring will be based on the number of total WRXSA entrants per round not per class. For beginners without a PB, your score will be calculated on the average of all
runs but dropping your slowest run. Points for PB scoring will begin at 5pts for last person and upwards per position will gain 1pt for every additional entrant. Example, 4 WRXSA entrants: 4th=5pts, 3rd=6pts, 2nd=7pts, 1st=8pts.

Outright Results
Also scored from each event is your outright result. Points are allocated for final results of each round, outright, not per event’s class. Points are calculated from 1pt for last person and upwards per Club Championship entrant. Example, 4 WRXSA entrants: 4th=1pt, 3rd=2pts, 2nd=3pts, 1st=4pts.

Combined Score
Both scores are combined to give each Club Championship round’s result. Example, using the above examples, an entrant finishes in 1st place with best PB and 2nd overall outright, would total 11pts. Each combined score is recorded and tallied in the class you have nominated. Two runs would be a minimum to be able to calculate
and earn points for the club championship.
Completing only one run or entered as DNS will be classed as round entry and I 1 point maximum will be awarded. arrived will be  will be placed last position for the round results.

Exceptions
For Wet events, in case of heavy rain throughout entire day, only outright score will be calculated. Any event will have a maximum 50 points total of Personal Best and Outright combined awarded to WRXSA entrants to prevent a runaway of leader board results.

Disciplines
10 Rounds constitute the Club Championship. A maximum of your 7 best results will count towards your Grand Championship eligibility. 2 disciplines are required to be eligible for Club Champion, 1x Sprint and 1x Hill Climb. Changing of vehicle permitted, but one per event per highest class. For example, if change of vehicle puts you in Open Class, this will remain your class for the remaining Club Championship.

Grand Champion eligibility
Highest scoring full WRXSA member at completion of all rounds will be crowned Club Champion. Must be Full WRXSA paying member not including Family concession. Must use a Subaru Turbo orientated vehicle even with permitted vehicle change. Must complete the disciplines outlined. Must use Own Customer car, no Tuner Owned cars permitted. Grand Champion eligibility also applies for Runner Up.

Club Championship Classes
Four Classes are used as a handicap for each car. Standard, Modified, Race/Rally and Associate Class. This separates the daily street car to the purpose-built track cars. Your combined score will be awarded to you and the class you have nominated for. Class winners will be determined at the end of the Club Championship by the total of all points accumulated, no round drops, no disciplines.

The club championship events are usually run in partnership with other South Australian car clubs. The entry forms and payments for the event will therefore need to be obtained from and sent to the relevant organising club. All events are run under CAMS Event Licenses. In order to get this license there are minimum standards that the event organisers must meet, which include the preparation and enforcement of Supplementary Regulations for every event. As an entrant you will need to comply with these regulations on the day for your own and others safety. Basically, to enter an event, there are 3 main steps to follow:

• Have a valid MotorSport Australia Level 2S license.
• Download/complete the Entry & Payment Form from the organising club’s webpage and get it to them with payment before the Due Date for Entries.
• Comply with the relevant MotorSport Australia Supplementary Regulations applicable to your personal equipment and your car at all times during the event.

Each of these 3 items is discussed in detail in the following sections.

All entrants must have a MotorSport Australia level 2S license to enter hill climb and super sprint events. These are easily obtained by filling out the application form and paying the annual fee (approx $145.00 2S) – there is no test to pass to get a license. This license is valid for a year from date of purchase. Annual renewal forms are automatically posted out to you after purchasing your first license.  Application forms and further info for these licenses is available on the CAMS website. If you get caught out and need a license in a hurry, ring the CAMS office on 1300 883 959 and check your options with them. Obviously it will not be possible to do this on the Saturday night before an event the next Sunday, so get yourself organised early and save some stress!

It is necessary to complete an entry form for EVERY EVENT. Entry forms for a particular event will be available at either the portal via Motor Sport Australia. They are usually available for download 2-3 weeks before the date of the event. The entry forms are pretty much self-explanatory. Basically they will want to know your contact, car and payment details. Payment methods are provided on the entry forms (usually EFT, cheque or Direct Debit). You will also need to know your CAMS Level 2S license number to complete the entry form, so getting your license is the first step Entries must be received by the relevant organising club by the cut-off date for entries, which is usually 1 week before the date of the event. In the case of Super Sprints organized by the MCSA the cut-off date is usually 9 days before the event. For MCSA Super Sprints there is a $50 late fee for entries (all other events do not have a late fee at this time). Entry forms should not be sent to WRXSA! It is sometimes possible to get an entry in after the due date for entries if you ask the organisers nicely, but it’s best to try and get yourself organised and make things easier on everyone! Supplementary Regulations will also be emailed or available for download for each event on the organising club’s webpage. You must comply with these regulations at the event in order to be allowed to compete. These regulations are discussed in detail in the following section.

The CAMS Supplementary Regulations are safety regulations aimed at protecting entrants, their cars, officials, spectators, etc, from harm. The regulations fall into two categories – those related to your personal equipment and those related to your car. Your personal equipment and car will be scrutineered at the start of each event by a qualified CAMS scrutineer who will ensure that you meet the regulations. If something does not pass scrutineering you will not get a scrutineering sticker and you will need to rectify the problem before being allowed to compete, so you must ensure that everything is okay before arriving at the day. New Supplementary Regulations are issued for every event and will contain details on what is required to pass scrutineering. Typical safety regulations for super sprints and hill climbs are explained below, and generally these do not change between events. However, it is emphasized that you should DOWNLOAD and READ the Supplementary Regulations for every event before you enter, as these will contain the exact regulations required for that event. If it is your first event ever, it would be a good idea to get everything together a few weeks before the event so you can clarify any issues that may arise with other WRXSA members.

Marquee sports club of SA (MCSA) is the primary organizer of these events. Supplementary Regulations and Entry Forms are issued several weeks before each event on the MCSA website, and are the final word on an event’s requirements. These supplementary regulations also contain the start times and event schedule. The regulations for these events generally require: PERSONAL EQUIPMENT & LICENSES:

• CAMS Level 2S License – You must bring your license along to show on the day, having written the number on the entry form is not enough. We have heard of people getting a fine for forgetting their license, so please don’t forget it!
• MCSA Associate Membership – Bring your card (if it’s your first event they will assign this on the day).
• MotorSport Australia Approved Helmet (to AS1698).
• Suitable clothing and shoes, comprising ankle to wrist to neck flame resistant clothing (e.g. cotton shirt and denim jeans are okay but nylon track-suit pants are unacceptable) and closed shoes.

CAR REQUIREMENTS:

• Fire extinguisher and mounting bracket approved by MotorSport Australia (to AS1841).
• Transparent Adhesive Film (i.e. Contact or similar, can be coloured, but not red) over any forward facing glass (excluding windscreen).
• Battery location indicator (blue triangle with 15 cm sides stuck on car panel above battery location).
• Supplementary bonnet restraint (a secondary bonnet restraint besides your standard bonnet catch).
• General roadworthiness, i.e. tyres, wheel bearings, brakes (e.g. pad thickness, pedal free travel), steering wheel play, battery fixedness, no lose items in the cabin or boot and so on.
• Check ‘Event Disciplines’ section of the Club Championship page for more information on the event format.
• Check the Motorsport Technical Advice page for more advice on getting you and your car ready for these events too, and help with MotorSport Australia standard safety equipment.

Entry forms will be due in no later than 9 days before the date of the event. Late entries incur a late fee of $50. Their reason for changing the entry procedures is due to the difficulty in getting officials to help out at events. Drivers may be rostered to do flag marshalling between runs. If anyone is interested in helping out with flag marshalling at any of the Super Sprints, please contact the Motorsport Director. There are some perks that come with flag marshalling, e.g. good viewing spots and chauffeured to your post in a Porsche (there are quite a few late model Porsches that compete).

The Sporting Car Club of South Australia (SCCSA) is the primary organiser of these events – in fact they own the track. There is no need for membership with them to enter, although as non-members we pay a slightly higher entry fee to compete (approximately $135). Supplementary Regulations are issued for every event and are the final word on the event’s requirements. They must be read by all entrants and are usually emailed or available for download at the SCCSA website a week or two before the event. These supplementary regulations also contain the start times and event schedule. The safety regulations for these events are slightly more relaxed than the super sprints due to its lower speed and typically comprise:

While there is a lot to digest at your first event or two, no one is out to make things difficult for you! We are all on the same side and if you should you run into problems or have further queries then there are plenty of people willing to assist before or during the events. Please refer to the Motorsport section within the Website for updates on upcoming Championship events. If it were your first event it would be a good idea to aim to have everything ready 1-2 weeks before the entry cut-off date so you have time to clarify any issues that may arise. At the event there are also plenty of experienced members who would love to help. They will sometimes have spare items that can be borrowed on the day if you forgot something too, although it is best not to rely on this! Adequate preparation is the key to a worry free day.

• Get your CAMS Level 2S License, ideally well before the Event Date.
• Download the events Entry Form and Supplementary Regulations from the organising club’s webpage or MEECAMS (generally available 2-3 weeks before date of event). If you are having difficulty accessing the entry form, please email the Motorsport Director for assistance.
• Complete the Entry Form and, with Payment, get it to the organising club by the DUE DATE FOR ENTRIES (generally due 1 week before date of event or 9 days for super sprints – remember super sprints have a late entry fee of $50!).
• Prior to the event: Make sure you have all the relevant Safety Equipment for yourself and your car as outlined in that event’s Supplementary Regulations ready to go.
• The day before the event: Get all your gear together and double check you have everything again. Carry out a final inspection of your car for roadworthiness. See Motorsport Technical Advice section for hints on preparation.
• At the event, get there on time, install all the safety equipment and then get your car scrutineered.
• Congratulations, you’ve now hopefully passed scrutineering and only have the driving to worry about…
• GOOD LUCK!!
