The 2013 season saw a 2 meeting, four race series take place after the final round of the St. Cross Electronics Mono Championship. Based on the popularity of this series, the MSA granted a championship permit, so the 2014 running of the Tiedeman Trophy will be classed as a Championship.
The 2014 Tiedeman Trophy Mono Championship Sporting & Technical Regulations (Published Copy) [Version 1] are now available for download. Entry forms will be available later in the season.
St Cross Electronics Mono Championship

2014 Spa-Francorchamps Entry Form
The Club is planning events in 2014 for which we need to get a feel for the possible number of participants.
Competitors can secure an entry place at Spa (27-29 June) with a £250 deposit. The balance must be paid by 27 May 2014. This highlight event is filling fast so competitors do need to get their entry in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
27-29 June 2014 – Spa Summer Classic
Monoposto is planning to again participate in the Spa Summer Classic, organised by Roadbook. Spa is a fantastic circuit which can start 52 under 2 litre single seaters, and the Spa Summer Classic has been a consistently well-organised event over several years. This year we have agreed to share the track with F3 Cup cars. As in the past we will also invite participation by other drivers with Monoposto-compatible cars. We have to pretty much fill the grid to make this event financially viable for the Club!
Key features are:
- Entry fee for Monoposto cars is £550, for 100 minutes of track time. If you are not already a Club Member the entry fee includes Guest Membership of the Monoposto Racing Club, valid for entry to the Monoposto races at the Spa Summer Classic. Two drivers can share a car at no extra cost.
- Shared use of the F1 pits and paddock for the duration of the meeting
- 2 x 25 minute qualifying sessions on Friday 27 June
- 25 minute race on Saturday 28 June
- 25 minute race on Sunday 29 June, finishes about mid-day to allow time for the return to UK on Sunday
- Rolling starts
- Testing on Thursday is available at additional (low) cost. This is arranged with/paid direct to the circuit on the day. In 2013 the cost was about €50 for 30 minutes. (These testing arrangements are to be confirmed)
- The entry will be arranged into the usual Monoposto classes (subject to entry numbers); plus we can include other specific classes if entry levels justify this. Trophies will be awarded in both races to the first three in each class.
- MSA National A Race licence (or higher) is eligible
- There is very good event website at www.roadbook.be which has full details of last year’s event
- Much of the entry for the Spa Summer Classic is from the UK (eg CSCC), and language is not an issue.
If you have raced at Spa before then you won’t need any convincing about how good the circuit is. If you have not raced at Spa then take this opportunity to do so! It is an amazing experience for any racer.
Due to the high cost running of this event Monoposto has specific arrangements for payment of entry fees, and for refunding fees if an entry is withdrawn before the event.
- For an entry to be accepted the competitor must pay at least £250 when the entry is made, and the balance at least four weeks prior to the event. However it does help the Club to finance this event if you are prepared to pay the whole amount of the entry fee at the outset.
- If an entry is withdrawn for any reason, at Monoposto Racing Club’s discretion we will refund an entry fee that has been paid in part or in whole provided we are able to replace the withdrawn entry with another which has been made after the time that the withdrawal is notified to us in writing/email. Competitors who wish to withdraw can also “sell” their entry to another eligible competitor/car, at any price they wish, provide the change of entry details is notified to us in writing with a replacement Entry Form before Signing On for the event. In practice this means that the earlier an entry is withdrawn the greater the chance is that a refund can be made. Actually the demand for places in this event is such that in recent years we have always been able to make a refund for an entry that have been withdrawn before the event. However please note that the Club will not make a refund for any entry withdrawn after Signing On has opened on 27 June.
Spa Entry Form will be available in January and will be sent first to people who have already expressed an interest.
Please let us know if you are interested in racing at the Spa Summer Classic

2014 Donington Monoposto Test Booking Form
20 March 2014 – Donington Park Testing
We are arranging 4 x 20 minute exclusive Monoposto sessions, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, with a sensible gap between each to allow time for fettling the car. This is a great way to start your season of Monoposto racing, and was very popular in 2013.
The test sessions are open to any car that complies with Monoposto Regs. Cars must be silenced to MSA requirements.
Drivers do not need to be members of the Monoposto Racing Club, but must have at least an MSA National B Race Licence. We do brief drivers to take a sensible, progressive, approach to the day; to avoid repeated stoppages with the consequent loss of track time while cars are recovered.
Entry costs are:
- Single car entry: One car & one driver for all four sessions for £165. Second driver in the same car: + £15
- Two car “paired” entry. If demand for testing places is high we will allow paired entries ie two cars & two drivers entering together sharing the four sessions between them for £180 ie 2 x 20 minute sessions for each car would cost £90 each. Please note:
The booking for the pair must be made on the same Booking Form, and paid for together.
Paired cars can be run in any order but only one car of the pair can participate in each session. Running both cars at once, or changing cars mid-session, is not allowed.
2014 Donington Monoposto Test Booking Form is now available.
Please let us know if you are interested in a Single or Paired entry (for Paired Entry ideally tell us who you plan to pair with)

After several years without an increase, Club Membership Fees will rise in 2014 from £30 to £40.
The Registration Fee for the St Cross Electronics Mono Championship will remain at £95, and also will include free automatic Registration for the Tiedeman Trophy Mono Championship.
Competitors doing only Tiedeman Trophy races will pay a combined Guest Membership & Registration Fee of £20.
Guest Membership & Registration fees for the St Cross Electronics Championship will continue as in previous years.
We will now waive Registration fees for College Teams, as well as our existing waiver for New Drivers.
Guest drivers in both Championships will be eligible to score points, except those competing in the Invitation Class of the Tiedeman Trophy Mono Championship.
Membership and Registration Forms for 2014 will be available shortly
The main Monoposto Championship will continue with a similar format to previous years. 14 races at 7 major circuits, 12 to count. All rounds will be twin or double headers. We are very pleased to say that our popular Title Sponsor St Cross Electronics intends to again continue with us in 2014.
Following the very successful Tiedeman Trophy Series this year, the MSA have indicated that they will grant a Championship Permit for the Tiedeman Trophy Mono Championship in 2014. This is a very low cost, single grid, Autumn Monoposto Championship which will have 4 races at two double-header events in October 2014, after the main Mono Championship has ended. All Tiedeman Trophy races will count for Tiedeman Trophy Championship honours. The driver from any Class with the greatest number of points will be declared Champion and receive the Frank Tiedeman Trophy, plus £250 worth of free Mono entries in 2015.
We are again arranging a pre-season test at Donington Park.
This is planned for Thursday 20 March and will have 4 x 20 minute track sessions for Monoposto cars during the day.
This is excellent value for money and a great way to start your season.
Monoposto Racing is thriving and the approach adopted by the Club to the Technical Regulations continues to be one of maintaining stability. Some changes are needed to keep our formula up to date, and to address specific issues. The key changes for 2014 are:
Mono2000 / 2000 Classic
A regulation giving the Club the ability to limit the number of dry tyres used in Mono 2000 and Mono Classic 2000 to one set per meeting will be introduced. Number of wet tyres used remains free. Types of tyre used remain free. The Club hopes that all competitors will agree that “throwing tyres at the car” is not compatible with the strong but fair spirit of competition combined with low cost levels that Monoposto Racing seeks to achieve, and will therefore voluntarily avoid this practice. Otherwise the Club will implement the regulatory limit during the season; with appropriate monitoring, enforcement and penalties.
Mono 1800 / 1600 / MotoMono
Chassis eligibility dates for Mono 1800, Mono 1600, Mono Moto will move forward by one year as usual. Eligibility dates for other classes will be unchanged
Mono Ztec
The separate Mono Ztec class for “spec” FF1800 Zetec cars will be merged back into Mono 1800
Mono DTEC for Formula Ford Duratec cars
Mono Dtec Class will be introduced. Key features:
– Spec FF1600 Duratec cars
– Free tyres
– Minimum weight of car + driver: 500Kgs
Tiedeman Trophy
There will be separate Sporting & Technical Regulations for the Tiedeman Trophy Mono Championship. Technical Regulations will be identical to the main Championship except there will be provision for entries in an Invitation Class.
Draft Sporting and Technical Regulations
The Draft 2014 St Cross Electronics Mono Championship Sporting & Technical Regulations (Draft Version 3) are attached. These may be amended and are subject to review by the Championship Stewards and the MSA before they become Final. Changes from the 2013 Regulations are highlighted in grey
The Monoposto Racing Club is pleased to publish it’s 2014 Season Preview.
The club hopes to build on the solid bedrock it has built over the past few years by providing cost effective and competitive motor racing on the most prestigious circuits around the UK and Europe, whilst maintaining a friendly and welcoming paddock atmosphere.
The major change for 2014 is the introduction of a class for ‘spec’ Formula Ford Duratec’s, finally giving them somewhere to race in the UK.
The provisional racing calendar will be published in the next fortnight, but the club will be visting the following circuits (in alphabetical order): Brands Hatch Indy, Brands Hatch GP, Castle Combe, Donington Park GP, Silverstone GP, Snetterton 300, Spa-Francorchamps (n/c), Truxton and others TBA.
At the end of the main championship season, there will be a new short Autumn Championship, the Tiedeman Trophy (named in honour of Monoposto’s founder, the late Frank Tiedeman). This was trialled in 2013 with great success.
The preview is available in low resolution and medium resolution formats.

The Monoposto AGM & Annual Awards Dinner are being held on Saturday 15th February 2014 at a new venue: Staverton Park, just outside Daventry. The venue is readily accessible from Junction 16 of the M1.
As usual we will hold the AGM in the afternoon followed in the evening by the Awards Dinner; always a glittering occasion when a great deal of silverware is presented. Please do attend the Awards Dinner if you can as it’s an opportunity to meet your fellow Club Members & their Guests, and celebrate the season that’s just finished; as well to look forward to the new season in 2014.
The Awards Dinner Ticket Order form is attached; please complete this and return it to me. You should book rooms direct with the hotel, quoting the reference on the form. The venue is more up-market than in recent years so the cost of tickets has increased slightly, but we hope this will not prove to be a barrier. Last year we sold out of tickets so please do not leave it too long to reserve your places.
Please contact me if you need more information about the AGM or Awards Dinner.
