FORMULA 2 Spec. 2010
Following the recent Formula 2 drivers meeting, we decided to adopt the Brisca F2 car specifications for the 2010 season.
With the following exceptions :-
Grading will take place after every 5 meetings, roofs, wings and aerofoils can be painted in any colour, the outside contact surfaces of both front and rear bumpers need painting in your grade colour.
The Avon wide safety tyre will still be used throughout 2010, they can be softened to a durometer reading of 40, tyres will be tested randomly throughout the season.
Local drivers will have the option to use the Yokohama or other Brisca spec tyre during the Manx Open Championship, or the Formula 2 T.T. meetings. So that local and visiting drivers can compete together.
Since Brisca will be adopting the 53% inside weight rule, we have decided to return to the anti clockwise racing direction for 2010.
Car weights will be checked before the season begins, then randomly checked throughout the season.
A quick reminder of items which need attention before the start of 2010.
3mm steel plate must be welded to the top and lower chassis rails and cover the area of the drivers footwell. The plate must be fitted on both sides of the car and cover the area from the firewall to the front edge of the drivers seat.
The steel plate must not be drilled to lighten it in any way.
Wings / Aerofoils if fitted –
The underside of the end plates need to be in line or above the side tubes of the rollcage.
Centre line of the wing needs to be fitted on the centre line of the car.
Maximum inside weight will be 53%. This will be checked on a random basis, before or after a race less driver. Refuelling will not be allowed if weighed after a race.
Steel fuel tanks minimum thickness 2 mm must be fitted close to the main rails, or behind the drivers seat. If fitted behind the seat a full firewall must be fitted between the tank and driver.
Battery must be fitted close to the main chassis rail.
First meeting of 2010 is planned to take place Sunday 25th April. !!!!

OG
esenting himself and Onchan Raceway the boss himself John Whitehead drove in the Rebel World Wide Rebellion Finals. John has been racing Formula 2’s on and off since 1985 and last raced Rebels back in 2005 where he spent many a meetings travelling the length and breadth of the UK qualifying for his place in the Rebels World Finals, where he ended up being 30th on the grid and finishing a commendable 13th. Four years on he was back behind the wheel of a Rebel belonging to Hans, racing with his Isle of Man number #555. 
d grid qualifying for the overseas drivers started on the Saturday evening where in different heats the Formula 2 drivers would battle it out for their placing ready for the following days World Final. Mike Booth #115 had a disappointing start to his World Final challenge with his stockcar only running on three cylinders and not its usual four, which meant many a tireless hour trying to make it right for the following day, thus leaving Mike starting on the inside of row 15. Mark #426 on the other hand had some steady qualifying session allowing him time to get to grips with the larger number of cars on the starting grid compared to what he has been use to in his two year racing career. In heat 4 Mark finished 10th earning himself 1 national point! Mark ended up qualifying on the outside of Row 12.
flags waved the 36 car line up in the F2’s saw a big smash into turn two of the first lap wiping out several of the leading cars. Mark’s World Final debut was also to be short lived as coming out of turn 3 he collided with another car spinning him round and into the fence and thus finishing his World Final dreams. Marks car suffered a broken half shaft, had a spring guard ripped off, punctured petrol tank and a broken front hub. Mike on the other hand managed to get through another 10 laps unscathed until another pile up coming out of turn two which saw his steering rose joint snap hence meaning a disappointing retirement for our local butcher. To see the spectacular first lap crash and our very own #115 Mike Booth nipping through the middle click on this YouTube link 
n the outside edge the car came to a halt just past the start finish post. Unfortunately the waving yellows didn’t come out soon enough and two cars smashed heavily into the back flying the #555 rebel round and wiping out several other rebels in the process. Fortunately John only suffered minor cuts and bruises which is more than can be said for his hired rebel car! To see the spectacular crash click on this YouTube link below.
