Registration is now open for the 2016 RAVENOL BTRDA Rally Series. This will be the 63rd year of the BTRDA Gold Star and Silver Star Rally Championships. Regulations and Entry Forms are available on the website. The best way to register for the BTRDA Rally Series is to use the on-line BTRDA membership system and pay by debit / credit card.
Registration for the BTRDA Rally Series includes membership of the BTRDA which is an invited club to all the events. For those crews using 2-wheel drive cars up to 2000cc it also includes automatic registration for the MAXXIS MSA English Rally Championship which runs on 5 of the BTRDA Rally Series events during the year.
The total BTRDA Rally Series registration and BTRDA membership for a crew (driver and co-driver registering together) is £90, or £60 for individual drivers and £40 for individual co-drivers. Registration and membership is free for competitors under 25 years of age in their first year with BTRDA.
Part of the RAVENOL support package to encourage competitor participation will include a £60 voucher for Ravenol Motorsport products for every driver that registers for the RAVENOL BTRDA Rally Series up to and including Round 3. As the cost of BTRDA membership and driver registration is just £60, then the voucher you receive from Ravenol means that registration is effectively free. That is except for drivers under 25 who are joining BTRDA for the first time. For them the cost of membership and registration is already free so the RAVENOL £60 voucher is a bonus.

CAMBRIAN RALLY
Entries are now open for the Cambrian Rally on 13th February which is the first round of the 2016 RAVENOL BTRDA Rally Series. It is expected that the event will attract a very large entry so we encourage all BTRDA competitors to submit their entry as soon as possible to avoid missing out. More details and on-line entries at www.cambrianrally.com
On-line registration: When registering for the BTRDA Rally Series you have to first become a member of BTRDA (the motor club) but that cost is included in the total price. If you are registering both crew members, fully complete the first membership and championship registration and at the end of the process a code will be provided for the second crew member to go in and complete their details. (The first process includes all the crew fees and the second process is free). See guide at the end of this message.
Please provide us with your date of birth which is essential for calculating eligibility for Junior and Senior awards. .
No matter if you use the on-line system or download the entry form and post it to the Membership Secretary, we encourage competitors to register as early as possible.
