Track Sessions
- Cars are grouped in 5 separate track sessions based on vehicle performance and in most cases driver skill where we know the guys.
- Please stick to your session unless otherwise arranged, you will ruin other participants runs if you jump around the sessions.
- A session board at the pit exit will indicate the currently running session and the marshals will not let you out if you go out in the incorrect session. You will have your session number on the top right of your windscreen, above the driver’s head.
- Session 5, being the slowest session, will also host all the novice and first time drivers. It is advisable that novices take BMW Driver Trainers or other experienced drivers with them during their first run out.
- Each session lasts 15 minutes with a maximum of 20 cars per session.
- Cars are set off from the pit exit in 5 second intervals to ensure that you have a clean run and to ensure safety.
- The Bridgestone hot lap car/s will primarily run in sessions 3-5. Please do not dive bomb or hassle these cars as they will be full of passengers.
