Car of the Year Award (was Midget Register Star Car Award.)

                      

     The Car of the Year Award                  2008 winner Dave Storer

The MG Midget Register Car of the Year Trophy is awarded annually to the owner of the car which has been most active, and performed most creditably in the widest possible selection of events and meetings, throughout the preceding year. The award will be presented annually at the Silverstone International Meeting. Open to all Sprites and Midgets registered with the MG Midget Register, both standard and modified, provided the shell conforms to the original design, or is modified only as allowed by certain MGCC racing regulations. A valid road fund licence must be displayed and a current MOT should be available if requested. (Not applicable to fully race modified cars). Points are awarded as detailed below with the standings being kept by the award secretary, however it is the entrants responsibility to ensure that their car is registered and entered for the trophy, and to ensure all events entered, together with their results, are sent to the secretary. Please claim your points as soon as possible, any claims not filed within three months of the meeting may not be considered and no claims will be considered after the end of January of the following year. Throughout the year the current standings will be published in the Midget Register notes within Safety Fast, with the complete results in the Register Newsletter published in February.

Point scoring system

All MGCC organised events count for points ie: Race Meetings, High Speed Trails, Auto-Cross, Concours d’elegance, Driving Tests, Trails, Rallies, Road Runs, Social Events, Sprints and Hill Climbs.

At any competitive event requiring a competition licence, for example a race meeting, any number of events can be entered each event counting for points. Furthermore a car can be driven by more than one driver in such an event, and each entry will count, the points being credited to the car not the drivers.

For each event entered started and finished:
3 points
1 extra point if the car is driven to the meeting

All social meetings, main club, centre or register organised earn points. In addition if there are competitions within these meetings these too claim points e.g. road run, gymkhana, pride of ownership, treasure hunt or concours d’elegance.

For each event entered started and finished:
3 points

All local events, organised either by a centre or local natter group earn points.

1 point for each event entered and started.

Members who are involved with an event as an official either as an event organiser, team member or marshal can claim points if they use their Midget or Sprite on the day.

3 points

Extra points in multiples of 2 will be awarded for the variety of types of event competed in, ie:

One type of event = 0 points

Two types of event = 2 points

Three types of events = 4 points

Four types of event = 6 points

and so on to nine types of event = 16 points

Concours (including Pride of Ownership)
