​Club Rules:
Doors open at 07:45 on Tuesday Evenings.
Race fees are £5 per night, with first attendance free. 

No food or drink should be brought near the track. No objects are to be placed on the track surface. The only items permitted on the track surface are the cars. Tyres should be cleaned away from the track surface.
​Due to the weight and size of the track sections, at least 2 persons should lift each track section. No single lifts should be attempted.

Swearing, shouting and poor conduct will not be tolerated.
Children remain the responsibility of parents / carers and should be supervised at all times.
FLBT will not be held responsible for any damage or loss to any equipment or persons.

​Race night formats are:
Heats and Finals (best 3 of 4 timed heats, qualify for ascending finals with step up positions)
​​Segmented (all lanes count towards an overall score and result)

For Heats and Finals and Laps and Finals, any number of cars (typically up-to max 4) may be used by racer during qualifying. During finals, the car must have competed in the qualifying heats.
Segmented racing uses Parc Ferme conditions, and from 2019 on, the racer may use a maximum of 2 cars during the racing. 

Points will be scored from 1st place to 15th as follows: 25,20,16,13,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
​All racers after 15th place will receive 1 point.


Marlborough Cup: Alongside the normal FLBT Championship, the club is introducing in 2020 the Marlborough Cup, for which there will be eight rounds, one for each of the classes that we normally race at the club throughout the year.
Points will be awarded in the same way as the normal championship, i.e.: 1st – 25 / 2nd – 20 / 3rd – 16, then 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2, then 1 point for every other competitor lower than 14th place.
Points gained for Marlborough Cup rounds will also count towards the main FLBT Championship. Race-night subs as usual (£5.00).
See the FLBT Calendar for the 2020 Marlborough Cup dates (denoted by *MC
)

Membership will be a nominal fee, and will entitle persons to vote for changes at the annual AGM.
