It is a common sense ruling on who is a rookie. I had completed one race of one round at the start of th previous year. It was agreed that didn't make me any less a rookie. Not sure on the ruling for Mr Larrett, but I'm sure he was (2nd) in the novice championship in 2009. I think only one previous round means someone can reasonably still be classed as a novice. Any more than one round is questionable. Previous whole seasons I would suggest should rule someone out. |
