GRA has a special category for newbies, called the NOVICE class. Only newbies are in that category, so they compete amongst themselves. That way, they dont have to be intimidated with competing against the veterans.
Also, GRA events are open to car clubs, whereby a minimum number of cars from that club, compete amongst themselves, and with trophy.
Also, GRA can arrange car club driving events/tutorial/clinics with instructors for them. GRA is open to any grassroot motorsports events enquiries.
However, most feel intimidated, which I cant understand why, as GRA is all for 'fun and safe' motorsport events.
