| experience |
this unique hen activity is the only real opportunity to drive track prepared 1300cc saloon stockcars. During the event, you and the girls will be ‘coached’ by professional drivers and officials. There will generally be 32 drivers in a session (up to a max of 40), and they will take to the track in competitive groups of 8. Through the course of the events, you’ll take part in a practice session (4 laps) heat 1 (8 laps) and heat 2 (8 laps). Based on points scored in heat sessions, the steward will stream competitors into a championship final (10 laps) – an electrifying race pitting drivers against those of a similar ability. The winners of the 4 feature finals, will line up for the grand showdown final (8 laps) to crown the overall winner! |
