As it stands, currently those without a UK driving license cannot enter, as a) you won't be able to claim the prize, and b) you'll be affecting the positions of those who can.

The rules may be tweaked a bit depending on demand and if we can see a fair way around the issue.

True, but with people who aren't competing for the prize also racing with those who are, it's unfair for them if they are impeding their progress.

If there's a way around it, then we'll have to get there with a way which makes everyone happy.

Perhaps have a separate points table for those eligible for the prize?

Yes, it might make it harder for those who get pushed down to B Lobby for a couple of rounds to beat someone who is constantly in A Lobby but then you are rewarding the consistency and speed of the person who stayed in A Lobby throughout.

So to be able to claim the prize of a test in a VAG car you need to hold a valid UK Driving License ? When did this come in because I cant see it on the prize page and I personally haven't seen anything about having hold a UK license . The only condition that was brought up on TORA radio on Thursday (19/2/2015) was that if you live outside of the UK and win you will be required to pay for your own travel.

Am I correct in thinking this ?

That is exactly what I am thinking . For me in my opinion I think the fairest way of doing it is everyone races in there choice of class and if the overall winner doesn't have a UK License they are offered a series poster (or something like that) and then that person nominates someone as Solar Flar3 said above.

I know Stan said that then that isn't fair on people who do have a UK License and can win the prize as it can imped there progress (which I can understand) but if Driver A wins the series and doesn't hold a UK License and Driver B comes second and does hold a UK License then I think Driver A should be able to nominate someone of there choosing , and if Driver A does Hold a UK License Driver B still wouldn't get the prize as they didn't win .

I don't see any other fairer way than that .

Firstly, it says this information on the registration thread. Secondly, if you do happen to have a UK Driving License and you live outside the UK, then yes you can enter but we can't pay for your travel. You still need a UK driving license though.

There will be a North American series of the VAG Trophy set up fairly soon, although it does not have the same prizes as this. If you don't have a UK Driving License you are allowed to enter that.

We are looking into a way to make this work for everyone whilst still being fair for those who can compete for the prize. As it stands, you must have a UK Driving License to be able to drive a car on-track at a track day, which is where the prize is being held.

One option is that in order to enter the series in Class A you must have a UK Driving License, and everyone in Class A will be eligible and competing for the prize. For those that don't have a UK Driving License, you'll have to enter Class B; If you have a UK Driving License but you still want to drive in Class B, you can enter it but you won't be eligible for the prize. This way we don't run into 'nominations' and hand-downs of prizes.

How does that sound?

My apologies I didn't see that in the registration thread.

So with me living in Ireland and having a Full Irish Driving License I'm not aloud to run in the top class because of that ?

Another possible option perhaps then would be people race what they want and the highest placed eligible person to win the prize gets it . I don't think having a restriction on car class because you cant claim the prize is the way to go personally .

Can you not just do it so everyone who registers for the series declares whether or not they are eligible for the prize? Then in the standings have people highlighted in 2 different colours to signify who is and isn't eligible then everyone knows where they stand, then the highest placed eligible driver wins the prize.

The thing about people who aren't eligible for the prize interferring with people trying to win it doesn't really make sense, because if you apply the same logic to the whole series you won't let anyone join the series part way through as they can't win the prize either, also the last race(s) of the season would only allow the drivers who could still win the title as anyone else could impede their chances and for me that just isn't racing.

I agree. There will be people who can't enter it then and if you do go with the rule that the people illegible have to go in Class B, that's making it very unfair I personally think as the cars are slower and again in my opinion worse to drive and are more suited to less experienced people.
