Announcing: Monoposto Nova Novice Award

As part of the 2011 Monoposto Championship the Club will include Awards for the first and second place drivers on Championship points won in any Mono class, who start their season as “novices”. Alongside the Trophies comes two free double header Monoposto Race entries in 2012 for the winner, and one free double header race entry in 2012 for the runner up. The total value of the Awards is approximately £1000; arguably the most valuable prize fund in club-level single seater racing.

The Monoposto Nova Awards will be open to any full Monoposto member, who starts their first 2011 Monoposto Championship race still needing to be observed and to obtain some or all of the initial 6 signatures on their competition licence Upgrade Card. To be eligible for the Monoposto Nova Awards, a competitor will therefore start their 2011 Mono Championship campaign as a novice race driver as defined by the MSA, with the car carrying the compulsory black/yellow cross.
