Default Outline plan for Xmas Endurance Race...

I think with the current numbers, we would be looking at 3 teams for the endurance race to ensure there are enough in each team to help manage transitions and marshalling. So having listened to all the thoughts and ideas, how about the following...

Team endurance race split into two 40 minute races. With a break for nibbles and trophies/raffle and to allow batteries to be charged up again.

Each 40 minute race will be split into 20 minute sections (no stop in race) where first 20 minutes the TCs are on track and the second 20 minutes will be for Mini's/Mirco's.

Teams will be picked at random and evenly spread based upon driver skill.

Drivers wishing to take part should notify us before the end of the Autumn Championships so we can arrange teams in advance.

Each driver will race their own car and drivers in each team will share 1 PT.

This PT must be swapped from one car to another in a designated pit box that will be marked out on the track.

All cars taking part must be decorated for the festive time of year - it is your choice how crazy you go, but the car will need to be drivable around the track while decorated!

All drivers must drive their cars at least once, there after, drivers can opt to drive as much or as little as they wish, it's up to the teams to decide how they share out the driving.

All cars must compete at least 1 lap, there after, drivers can opt to race other team cars if they so wish.

Each team must have 2 drivers out marhsalling on the track at all times. Drivers only to marshal their own team car. (I know some think this might be a little hectic, but with only 3 cars on track at any time I think this is easily managed with 2 drivers covering half of the track each).

Race control will notify teams when there is 2 minutes before the 20min cut off so that teams can prepare to change to Mini's/Micro's.

Same construction rules apply to both TCs and Mini's/Micro's as per championship rules - only difference being that cars will be decorated


I think that covers everything, tried to keep it simple to follow. It's more about having fun than being a very serious endurance hence why all cars will need to be decorated!

I'm happy to step down from racing on the night so that someone can ensure all runs smoothly and you can all enjoy the evenings racing.

So if you want to take part on the night please let me know what car you will be racing, TC, Mini/Micro. I will put a list on the wall each week of the remaining rounds so those who are not on here can add their names to race on the night.
