Maybe this will assist:
Standard Vehicle **
The vehicle must have its original manufacture spec engine, drive
chain and transmission.

Please ensure I get your entry form, and if I do not have it, also the Shirt
size for the driver and navigator respectively.
I need as many as possible with completed forms and all, we have to

Awesome day, well done Martindj and Gympee. Two relative newbies to
offroading and they did damn well. All I can say to Manny is that a
Navara can go offroad.... ;D
must say, we enjoyed it, no complaints, learned a hell off a lot, damn
what an eye opener, have never experienced so many difficult obstacles,
the gates were extremely narrow and difficult for a LWB,
Considering to enter the 4th event, and correct some of my mistakes,
then I will have proper rock sliders, my side steps cost me dearly at
obstacle 4.
safety first two vehicles had a close call at obstacle 4, entry very tight
and it really rocks you.

Re: 2016 Bridgestone Challenge
We will have to see how the next process pans out after this coming
weekend's last qualifying event.
Then we are at the start of the Elimination Rounds. Getting drafted into
these has been the objective until now.
If I read the rules correctly, the top 6 point scorers per club will go
through to the elimination rounds.
If there are 10 clubs, that means 6 per club. But we do not seem to have
10 full clubs written in. So it will be top 6 points per club that have 10 or
more competitors entered. Regardless of SWB or LWB. And as was
explained at the events, this will probably only be Standard Vehicles.
Lets for example say 7 clubs had 10 entries each. That means 42
positions out of 60 already filled.
The allocated top six per club will then be removed from the hat.
As for the rest of the entries we will probable see a 34% / 66% split
between SWB and LWB ( per the ratio of entries). And the rest of the
entries will all be pooled. And ad per the example, 6/7 will be selected
from the remaining top score SWB (34%) and 12/11 will be the top score
LWB vehicles (66%) to make up the balance of the 60 vehicles.
There were more than 60 Standard vehicles entered, so I personally
cannot see that any non- standard vehicles will get included into the
elimination group.
Maybe that should have been more clearly explained from the beginning.
I just picked it up from the speeches at the briefing and prize givings.
So the competitors should look at their standings and see if they are
safe to make the top 6 in their club, or if they have enough entries to be
counted as a "club" of at least 10 entries. As for the rest, good points
will get you in regardless.
