Car number, location and rules

[Roderik Izaks]

Dear fellow racers,

I have been checking the rules and looking at all the pictures of the cars.

The rules say that the numbers should be placed on the nose and on the front doors in a white square. In the pictures I see circels instead of square's, placed on the roof and in front of the front window.
I guess this rule is flexibel??

Could someone please assist so we do not have problems when we arrive at Snet. Where do we place the numbers. We have a lot of space on the roof, but do not know if it is allowed. if I see the pictures it is. also I would rather use a circle on the roof. Also not clear if this is allowed.

Also still need a car number....Where do we get one? Anyone?

hope some one can assist.

When you apply for your 2cv classic racing club membership you can request a number that is not already allocated. You have to do this before you can race !!

By the way, the bit about numbers and decals is at the end of the regs and it says this:

5.16 Numbers and Championship Decals:
5.16.1. Positions To be eligible to score points in this Championship all vehicles must carry a BARC Shield on each side in an unobscured position when viewed from a direct side elevation (assuming decals are available at the meeting signing-on). Failure to have these in place at scrutineering will render the car ineligible. Race numbers backgrounds shall be located, unmodified and in the intended orientation on the front doors and bonnet as required by Section C(b) of the MSA Blue Book. Competitors shall be required to locate, unmodified and in the intended orientation the decals of the Classic 2CV Racing Club, any Championship sponsor and associates on the cars and on their racing overalls, in positions to be notified.
5.16.2. Suppliers Race number backgrounds for the front doors shall be provided to competitors through the Classic 2CV Racing Club.
5.16.3. Driver Identification All competitors shall display their name in both rear passenger windows of the car using white vinyl lettering. Typeface to be Arial Black, first letter uppercase, 7cm high, following letters to be lowercase. All competitors shall display their name on their race overalls in positions to be notified. Embroidered name badges shall be provided to competitors through the Classic 2CV Racing Club.

I think that Christine Thompson will be able to help you with 2CV Club decals and backgrounds. BARC stickers come from BARC.

The rules we found, only not where to get the number.

Kind regards and see you at Snet  :)

Only one of you needs to join BARC, and that should be the person who will enter the car unless you want to score points (though thinking about it I'm not sure you will be eligble for points anyway!). That will save you money.
