BriSCA F1 National Points Championship
.jpg)
Not to be confused with the National Series, the National Points Championship is based on the monthly grading system operated at each BriSCA F1 meeting through the season. The National Points Champion is the driver who scores the most points over the whole season.
Until 2002 the winner was awarded the 'silver roof' to wear on his car during the following season. The silver roof is now awarded to the National Series champion.
2010 National Points Champion: 391 Andrew Smith
The title "National Points Champion" officially no longer exists. The new name for the same position is the somewhat cumbersome "BriSCA Grading Points Winner" but anyone outside of the BSCDA committee continues to refer to it under the traditional name.[1]
