Drivers at the Championships are divided into two classes depending on their degree of disability; each team has to include one member who is a grade 1. Drivers are profiled according to the limbs that work and are used whilst driving. Thus depending on their profile they are graded 1 or 2 – Grade1 being the more severe disabilities. For all matters relating to IPEC CARDS please contact Lyn Lawford: kplclawford@hotmail.com.
GRADE I:
Wheelchair users with poor trunk balance and impairment in upper limbs, or those who are able to walk but with impairment of function in all four limbs, or those with severe arm impairment only.
GRADE II:
Those with less impairment than grade I, yet are functionally disadvantaged against able bodied drivers.
