Ha ha, good point. Guess I was just too excited about Thruxton returning to engage my brain properly...

The British Formula 3 Championship has released details of its new race format and points structure for the 2010 season - including reverse grid events and varying race lengths.

The series will include three races per meeting for the first time this year, meaning drivers will contest 30 across the spread of the season.

Draft sporting regulations, just published and yet to be rubber-stamped by the FIA, propose differing lengths for each race.

The first will keep the previous 30-minute duration and will follow a single, 30-minute qualifying session on the first public day of each meeting. The grid will be set by the drivers' second fastest time from qualifying.

On day two, a 20-minute half-points sprint race, featuring a semi-reversed grid, will open proceedings. The grid will be established by the finishing order of race one, with the best-placed cars in reverse order. The race one winner will perform a podium draw to determine where on the grid he will start - anywhere between sixth and 10th.

Each meeting will conclude with a 40-minute feature race designed to "place the emphasis on driver stamina, racecraft, and mechanical reliability", according to a statement from the organisers. The grid for this race will be set by competitors' fastest times in qualifying.

Points for races one and three will be awarded according to the previous structure: 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 to the top 10 in the International and National classes, with an additional point for the fastest race lap in each class.

Points for the reversed grid sprint race will be awarded on a reduced scale: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 to the top 10 in the International and National classes, but there will be an additional two points for the fastest race lap in each class.
