Key Information

Format

The 24 Hour Endurance event is designed as a team event. Teams will compete in one of two classes, Pro or Rookie. For this race, four to ten drivers would be ideal. The maximum number of drivers per team is 10, and there is a minimum number of three drivers per team.

A practice session precedes the race and this will be 90 minutes duration. All drivers in the team MUST complete a minimum of three laps during the practice period. Practice laps will not be timed and will not count as any qualifying. A 10-minute Timed Qualifying session will follow directly after the practice session, the start of this session will be signalled by a green light or flag from the start/finish line. All lap times in this session will be recorded with the fastest team taking pole position for the race. The race will begin from a Le-Mans style running start.

Classes

All competing teams will race together at the same time, with awards for the top three teams at the end of the race awarded by class. If during the race the Race Director feels that a team is incorrectly classified, then they may change the class of any team.

Choosing your Teams Class

To ensure the racing amongst all teams & drivers stays as competitive as possible you can choose from two classes. It’s important to read the descriptions below to best gauge the suitability of the class for your team. Please note - the Race Director will review the classification of all teams throughout the event and may move teams into alternative classes based on their performance. The minimum driver weight of 70kg applies to drivers in both classes.

**Pro**

Suitable for teams of drivers with experience, looking to compete in the top tier for this event.

**Rookie**

This class is reserved for less experienced teams/drivers and drivers that are new to endurance racing. It is suitable for teams with little experience, or teams with a largely mixed ability.

If you’re unsure about which class suits your team, please contact the Race Director at clint.bell@buckmore.co.uk and he can help guide you.
