The official launch of the FFGP Club Handicap
Series - February 2016
It’s not the Bennett Cup, not the Parris Handicap, and
not the Kent Grand Prix …..
…… it’s the FFGP.

The Farts & Friends Grand Prix
- A handicap series featuring some of your
favourite ‘must do’ (and some ‘really ought to do’) spring & summer
races
- A choice of distances over 10 races – from less
than 5k to a marathon
How does it work?
- A ‘par’ performance (running as well as the
handicapper, Dave Beadle, thought you should) scores 15 points
- Every 1% variance in performance adds (good) or
subtracts 2 points, subject to a maximum score per race of 25
points and a minimum 5
- (up to) your best 6 performances (as determined
by handicap) across the 10 race series will count i.e. highest aggregate
score wins
- This approach should result in no small field vs
large field bias and also encourage ongoing participation even if you
can’t do some of the races
- As well as overall series podium prizes, there
will be other prizes, criteria tbd
