Frequently Asked Questions

  • How old do I have to be to take part?
    Any age from 13 to 18 years old as of 1st January 2010 for the BSKC 2010.
  • If I am under 18 do I need a parent / guardian to attend the events?
    Yes. All drivers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a member of staff or parent acting in loco parentis.

    One adult acting in loco parentis can sign on behalf of all competing students from a single school.
  • How many drivers to a team?
    There must be 3 drivers exactly in your team for all events.
  • Can we change drivers between teams after the practice session?
    Yes and no.

    Schools that enter more than one team can change drivers between teams after the practice session. Schools that only enter one team can't.
  • Can we enter just the semi-final and not do the practice?
