It all start with great expectation for this annual, best of, exciting competition called BriSCA World Championship. The grid is made from drivers, from the UK, who were chosen through series of qualification rounds and two World Championship semi-finals. Those drivers, who don’t qualify for Worlds through qualification rounds and semi-finals can participate in consolation rounds where two more drivers are chosen for the Worlds itself. After the grid from the UK is complete, the drivers from countries like Netherlands, Australia, USA, New Zeland, and South Africa are chosen to participate in BriSCA World Championship too. The prize, apart from World Champion title is standard golden rooftop and wing and ability to choose to run as number 1 in races. Most of the World Championships are held in September and host track is chosen by a designated promoter for that year. Fun fact about Worlds is that, in 1955, two races were promoted so, we had two World Champions…
