IDEA FOR 120th EVENT. Have 3 starts, - Say Sth West, North, & Midlands, the route from each start takes in iconic MCC hills, and / road section, all converging at a Finish in Meridian, centre of England, and inspiration for Triple Award, for overnight stop, and possibly a driving test type of event the following day.
In addition allow passengers/bouncers, the opportunity to select say a 1/3 of the observed sections to be the driver, with the 1st Driver taking up the Bouncer role. Each successful climb by a passenger scores an extra point.
You never know this might encourage more to take up the sport as a driver, as many of us, including me, experienced life as a bouncer before taking up the driving challenge, if could also help to make drivers appreciate the work of a bouncer/passenger, and the challenges that they face, I.e scrutineering paperwork, and clean storage of route card, all issues that have been commented on recently.
