Each eligible driver, accrues class points towards the Nova Award, subject to number of race starters as per Monoposto regulation 1.6.1. As per Monoposto Class Championships, the best 12 of 14 results will count.
Marcus Sheard (1800) had a very good run at Anglesey, with a fine 4th in class, opting for slicks over wets. Chris Hill (1400) is now in 2nd place, with John Rawlings (1000) down to 3rd, but theoretically any of those could still win the title, as can Mat Jordan (1600) in 4th.
The points situation may well change towards the end of a season as the best 12 of 14 scores will be counted.

There were three contenders for the 2011 Ray Dackombe Memorial Trophy. Each driver qualified on pole position for their class. Each won their class and each claimed the bonus point for fastest lap. These men were Peter Venn in the 2000 Classic class Anson SA4, Tristan Cliffe from Mono2000 in his Dallara F398 and Olly Thorpe from Mono1800 in his Royale. As the 1800 class had the greatest number of entrants, it was Olly who claimed the prize.
2011 – Olly Thorpe
2010 – Ian Hughes
2009 – Chris Woodhouse
2008 – Tristan Cliffe

The Brands GP circuit meeting will host the Monoposto BBQ, catered this year by by MSV, and held at the Brands Hatch Kentagon, starting at 6.30 pm on Saturday 20th August.
All Monoposto and MSV F3 Cup drivers, team members, officials and guests are welcome.
The menu will consist of chicken, sausage, jacket potato, coleslaw (with a vegetarian alternative to the meat items).
This is always an enjoyable social event, and we hope as many people as possible will come along.
Tickets cost £7.50 each – please use the attached form (click) to order these in advance.
Last years Baking Grand Prix competition was such a success, it will be repeated this year, and allows drivers, their partners and team members a chance to show that as well as being demons on track, they are demons in the kitchen as well.
This already-legendary competition (click here for last years) will be held on Saturday 20th August. Entrants for the stomach-churningly exciting contest should bring their entries – in the form of any item of food which they have baked themselves – to the Monoposto Hospitality Awning in the Paddock before 2.00pm on the Saturday, where Sarah Harvey will arrange the Judging. As last year this will be done “blind” by the allegedly experienced and arguably incorruptible Monoposto Baking GP Judges Team.
Entry is free and anyone foolish enough to be associated with Monoposto or MSV F3 Cup racing is eligible to compete.
Entrants should also come along to the BBQ where (hopefully) the entries can be sampled by everyone, and a magnificent(ish) Trophy will be presented to the intrepid winner.
Ray Dackombe Memorial Trophy
Monoposto Championship Round 9 (ie Saturday’s event) at the Brands GP meeting has been nominated for the 2011 Ray Dackombe Memorial Trophy.
Ray Dackombe very sadly died in 2008. He was a longstanding and key Member of the Club. His abilities as Paddock Co-ordinator on Race Days contributed in many ways to the Club’s success, and to everyone’s enjoyment of the racing.
The Ray Dackombe Memorial is a racing Trophy so is awarded for performance on track. The criteria will be standard “class” points which will be awarded for both qualifying and race positions, plus for fastest in class race laps in the Monoposto Championship races on Saturday 20th August. Points will be added up for each Monoposto class and the driver with the most points will be awarded the Trophy. Ties will be decided in favour of class wins/poles and if still tied, awarded to the leading point scorer of the largest class. This is one of the most prestigious Trophies awarded each year by the Club, and with such a large entry competition is going to be intense.
Cars running in the MSV F3 Cup are not eligible.
Previous Winners:
2010: Ian Hughes
2009: Chris Woodhouse
2008: Tristan Cliffe
