Come to this glittering occasion to celebrate this season, and look forward to 2014.

New venue: De Vere Venues Staverton Park Hotel, Daventry

More details and tickets soon

The Monoposto SUNBAC Nova Award continues in 2013, and the winning novice drivers will win some race entries for the 2014 season.

Daryl Jones wins the 2013 Award, with Dave Gillett taking the runner up spot.

Marcus Sheard won the 2011 award, and Luke Rosewell taking the prize in 2012.

Each eligible driver, ie one bearing the novice cross, accrues class points towards the SUNBAC Nova Award as per current Monoposto regulations.

This score is then multiplied by the number of class starters, and then divided by 10.

Monoposto Racing Club is very pleased to announce that Cartek Automotive Electronics has agreed to award a new Trophy for the Best Prepared Monoposto Car in any class at each Monoposto Championship Meeting.

The criteria for the Cartek Trophy will be more associated with preparation rather than purely appearance and will take into consideration a multitude of factors including hard work, ingenuity, safety, as well as cleanliness and overall appearance. It’s expected that these criteria will enable a variety of winners to be selected during the year, highlighting different approaches to achieving excellence in car preparation. Judging will be done by the Monoposto Eligibility Scrutineer and the Championship Co-ordinator. The award will be made on the first day of each meeting, giving the trophy-winning team the opportunity to showcase their work in the paddock.

In addition Cartek have offered a very attractive discount on their products to all Monoposto members.

Cartek Automotive Electronics Ltd manufacture a range of motorsport products but are most notable for producing very small, lightweight Solid State Battery Isolators. Developed specifically for motorsport applications this device is a major advance in the safety and reliability of race vehicles. This particular product has become the preferred choice in many categories of motorsport from club racers through to European FiA Rallycross and international GT racing.

Other products include the only motorsport LED Rain Light which meets the latest FiA specification and an Electronic Rain Light Switch which offers drivers the ability to quickly switch their LED rain light into a hazard warning flashing mode should they encounter a problem with their car and wish to warn drivers behind that they are stationary or moving slowly. This has been proven to help prevent rear end crashes.

Another recent safety product from Cartek is the Coolant Level Sensor which will alert drivers if they are loosing water from their coolant system, perhaps from a punctured radiator or loose hose, before overheating and engine damage occurs.

Full details of Cartek products can be found on www.CARTEKMOTORSPORT.com

The Driver of the Day award is given to the driver who makes up the most positions during the race from his or her qualifying position, but who does not feature in a podium position.

2013 Tiedeman Trophy Series

The Founder of the Monoposto Racing Club, Frank Tiedeman, passed away this year. The Tiedeman Trophy Series aims to provide Monoposto competitors with more low-cost racing opportunities in addition to the Club’s very popular championship: the St. Cross Electronics Mono Championship. It is particularly appropriate that the Tiedeman Trophy Series involves co-operation with the 750 Motor Club, as Frank was a prominent member of the 750MC as well as being the founder of the Monoposto Racing Club. Frank was also a foremost proponent of low cost single seater racing, which is the objective of the Tiedeman Trophy.

In addition the Modense Group will sponsor free race entries up to a total value of £500 in the 2014 Monoposto Championship for the driver(s) in any Class judged by the Modense Group representative to be the most meritorious in the Tiedeman Trophy Series.

Background

The Founder of the Monoposto Racing Club, Frank Tiedeman, passed away this year. The Tiedeman Trophy Series aims to provide Monoposto competitors with more low-cost racing opportunities in addition to the Club’s very popular championship: the St. Cross Electronics Mono Championship. It is particularly appropriate that the Tiedeman Trophy Series involves co-operation with the 750 Motor Club, as Frank was a prominent member of the 750MC as well as being the founder of the Monoposto Racing Club. Frank was also a foremost proponent of low cost single seater racing, which is the objective of the Tiedeman Trophy.

The Future

For 2013 the Tiedeman Trophy is registered with the MSA as a Series. The Club intends to progress an application for Championship status for the Tiedeman Trophy for 2014. This will be a short low-cost Championship which will extend the Monoposto racing season. It will aim to use some circuits which might not otherwise be visited by the main Monoposto Championship, which will continue in its current very successful format, with MSVR as our main race organising partner.

We will be discussing further co-operation and possible dates/venues to run races in the 2014 Teideman Trophy Championship principally with the 750MC, who with the BARC have been enthusiastic and helpful in helping this years’ Tiedeman Trophy Series become a reality.

We are very pleased to have the support of Frank’s family in developing this initiative, and we invite both existing Monoposto Members and others to race with us in this co-operative effort to provide more opportunity for excellent Club-level single seater racing at minimum cost.
