If you post a time (at any time during a round) within 5% of the winning (or fastest) time of the class above (Club Class and Club Pro for example) you receive 1 Strike.
Receive 3 strikes and you get bumped up a class.
Its to try and get folk into the right classes, even things ups etc.
Example:
Jimmy McFucknuckle wins Club Pro Round 1 with a time of 1:35.00
In Club Class 4 people set times within 5% of that
Driver1 - 1:35.04 in Final
Driver2 - 1:36.55 in Final
Driver3 - 1:36.56 in Qualy
Driver4 - 1:38.20 in Final
Those 4 drivers would receive 1 strike, for round 1.
If they do this for the next 2 rounds they will be up a class come round 4.

What's the minimum age for this? Mate of mine spoke to me about doing it in an Evo 5 but I reckon I'd be too young.
Is Roger Clark's Impreza still in this?

So the 3 strike rule would get people out of the club class and move them up to pro? They should do that any way i reckon you win your class you get bumped up.

Yeah that's how it normally works I believe, if you win club you get bumped upto club pro for the following season, but the 3 strikes means you'd get moved up mid season because you're seen to be too fast for your current class.

at a guess, spaceframed/prototype stuff
bet there are tons of cars out there that would go in this class that didnt fit into any other TA class previously. if they do this id start going to watch TA again

There have been prototype classes most years Wrighty, so wouldnt think it would be news of an existing/old class.
I'm thinking something along the lines of a 'road car' class.
Seems to be the most demanded class, but in my eyes pointless. Why race a full fat car with all the shit in it 
JRDN7 - If you can drive you are old enough By drive I mean legally, with a UK licence.
You need a NonRace National B motorsport licence but its a simply form to fill out, can be done on the morningof your first event

Thats a general rule - If you win the season you'll be expected to move / moved a class (if there is one!) for the next season.
BUT the 3 strikes rule works WithIn the season.
I.e you start round 1 in club and blitz the timing boards, and hump most of the folk in the class above - you get a strike.
The honourable thing to do at this point would be to realise your in the wrong class and ask to move up
But if you carry on in Club you'd better slow down or find yourself in the class above for the 4th round (assuming you get within 5% for round 1, 2 and 3)

Road car class would be so hard to keep 'fair'. Loads of stuff could be done while looking standardish

What happened to Gobstopper I? I've only seen that thing in action once (Brands 2 years ago I think) and it was a savage piece of kit!

Its still around... was out last year for a round at Cadwell I think. Gobstopper II is just new and improved.
I have no idea if an Irish race licence is valid - you'd need to ask MSA/Time Attack.
