• Two drivers

Two driver entries will be accepted, with a different driver competing in each of the two races. The drivers competing in each race must be declared before qualifying. Both drivers must complete three qualifying laps and establish a lap time which will dictate their grid position for race one. The grid position will be dictated by the finishing position of the car in race one. To confirm, for race two, the grid position will be dictated by the finishing position of the driver in race 1.

Each competitor MUST register for the race in advance of the event and complete the sign on process.

Where competitors share a car, it is their responsibility to notify the Secretary of the Meeting as to who will qualify first and who will start each race.

If mechanical means are used by the marshal to remove the car to a safe position, the car concerned cannot re-join the session. Where deemed necessary, the Clerk of the Course may at his sole discretion allow a car to re-join the session but any future laps it completes in that session will not be timed or will be disallowed.

   II. 30 Seconds – Visible and audible warning for start of Green Flag/Pace Lap.

Towards the end of the Formation Lap(s), the Lead Car will leave the circuit after extinguishing its roof lights indicating a start is imminent. The grid will continue at a similar speed on the approach to the start line, the race starts when the red lights are extinguished. In the event that the starting light(s) fail the Starter will revert to using the National Flag.

• Any car removed from the grid after the 1 minute stage or driven into the pits on the Green Flag Lap shall be held in the pit lane and may start the race after the last car to take the start from the grid has passed the start line or pit lane exit, whichever is the later.
