Welcome to the homepage of #331 Mike Perkins. Take a few minutes to look around, check out the links page and support 331 by looking at E.D.S. Motorsport.
This year I will be taking a year out of BriSCA F2 to go and race in F2 Outlaws at Grimley. You will still find the fixtures and track guides for BriSCA on this site, and I shall continue to support the sport. For Grimley fixtures and track info, please take a look at the Grimley page!
This year is looking like being a good year for racing, both in BriSCA and Outlaws, so come along and support your local track....

BriSCA Results
Please take a moment to look at the F2 Peoples Champion Fund website. This is a new venture organised by Spikey of Spikey's Graphics. E.D.S. Motorsport (that's me) are proud to sponsor this new award. Details are to be announced soon as regards awards and the way they will be awarded etc. Take a look, it's a new venture where the fan's get the chance to say who they want to see rewarded.
So What's It All About Then?
The formula is called BriSCA Formula 2, BriSCA stands for British Stock Car Assosiation. The cars are made from a steel chassis, mainly two straight main rails running from front to rear made of big box section, and a roll cage made from tube. The rest is basically armour to enable the car to withstand contact from the rear and both sides, and a front bumper to "move" other cars out of the way.
Racing is classed as full contact, but this in no way means mindless attacks, only reasonable force can be used to move another car out of your way. Deliberatly putting another car in the fence, with force is looked upon as unsporting.
The tracks are typically around 1/4 mile or under and are all oval, (or there-abouts) Races are usually 12-16 laps for the heats and finals 16-20 laps. The world final is usually 25 laps, and as you can tell by the title, enterants from around the globe can and do compete.
So why the different coloured roofs? It's not upto the driver, it is an indication as to the drivers success. The more points you earn the roof colours change. The order from lowest up is as follows: White, yellow, blue, red, red with flashing amber lights (super star). In addition there are a few others, black and white chequered (british champion), red and yellow chequered (europian champion), silver (national points champion), gold (world champion) These roof colours determine where abouts on the grid you start from. Generally the lowest grade at the front, highest at the rear. Championship races are bassed upon qualifying places, and usually the best start at the front in these races.
Nearly all of the cars now-a-days use the 2.0 L ford pinto engine, the same sort that were found in cortinas, sierras and even transit vans. The engines are far from standard in most cases, although there is no rule to stop any driver from using the engine in it's standard form. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a gearbox between the drivers legs, the prop shaft under the drivers seat to the rear axle. Power is typically around the 160+ bhp mark, which is more than enough for the size and weight.
In summary, almost too much power, not quite enough grip, too many cars in too small a space........ then to add a bit of fun, put the more successful drivers at the back of the grid and make them work even harder to win!!
Come and watch a meeting near you this weekend, and see what you've been missing! (see links page for fixtures on BriSCA F2 website) Want to know more, maybe you want to have a go? check out the BriSCA F2 website on the links page for more info.......
