McLaren Autosport BRDC Award 2007

[Ian Sowman]

I was interested to read in today's Autosport that FPA champion Tim Bridgman is eligible for this award after all when last week the magazine suggested that he wasn't because of his stint in the top class of British F3 back in 2005. Apparently, the rule relating to racing in a class above F3 National class only relates to the year of the competition.

Has that always been the case, or has the rule been tweaked for this year? Is there a full set of rules anywhere?

Who is likely to be in the final five (plus one from the FPA shootout) this year? I would have thought that the likes of Bridgman, Stefan Wilson, Duncan Tappy, Dean Smith and Callum Macleod would be among the favourites from the fashionable categories - but I hope the judges look beyond those.
