Not sure if it was ever 10 events, but it was definitely 10 different days last year (so you could gain 2 signatures from the 2 day meetings).

I kinda missed out the Novice to Clubman step, using the 10 signatures instead to go straight from Novice to National. I did use my single result from my first race in 2009 (8th at Donnington), but then I didnt start/finish any of the Championship races at Mallory or Pembrey last year, so it is definitely possible in a year. Anyway, point being that I dont think a novice will definitely still have an Orange vest at the end of his first year (I doubt myself, Neal or Alan did last year and I doubt either of the Matts did the previous year). I think it comes down to a common sense approach. Personally, I would say any more that one round in the previous year excludes you, as should any previous racing (even if it was years ago). I think it would be harsh to exclude someone who has had a "taster" round in a previous year.... but 2 or 3 rounds gets you over that novice hurdle.
If you carry on the way you have been you will have a National Licence by the end of the year easily.
