The Oxfordshire Road Race Grand Prix is competed for over 15 races throughout the season. In each race the first 4 men and first 3 women from each participating club form the teams. The first team scores 25, second 22, third 20, fourth 19 and so on. The scores are added up through the season and the two worst scores discarded to decide the winner. In the competition for individuals, you score points in each race according to the percentage of the field you beat and your two worst scores are discarded. Full details of the rules are in the Grand Prix Rules attachment below, and a full list of prizewinners since the competition started in 2002 are in the Prizewinners attachment.
The first set of 2020 Grand Prix team standings after the Banbury 15 are posted here. Full standings are in the PDF attachments below. With the current virus emergency who knows how many GP races there will be in 2020. Three GP races have already been cancelled (see the diary for details). Meanwhile, keep running, but take care.
