Classic
Points System
The Classic and Vintage/PV championships were amalgamated in 2004 and
now cover all four strokes made before 31st Dec 1969 and all two strokes made
before 31st Dec 1960.
To allow the riders of different capacity machines & older machines to compete
on even terms a points system has been devised to achieve this.
The system operates as follows:
A target time has been calculated for each course, it is based on the time it
is considered a very good rider an a good classic 1300 could achieve under optimum
conditions. The remaining capacity class times are calculated by multiplying
the 1300 class time by a set factor.
For vintage/PV machines the times are multiplied by a further factor to level
the field with the faster, newer machines. This applies to machines made before
31st Dec 1944 and rigid machines before 31st Dec 1955 which meet the general
requirements given in the Specifications and rules.
The positions are calculated by how close a rider came to his "Target
time" and then the points are awarded for the positions as normal i.e.
1st = 6 points, 2nd=5, 3rd=4, 4th=3, 5th=2.
The championship is decided on the total points for the best five results.
