Please note
Only drivers aged 14+ can take part in grand prix and endurance races (all 14 – 17 yr olds must have parental consent form signed by their parent/guardian).
All participants should wear flat soled footwear, e.g. trainers, and casual clothing. Please be aware that when it rains, even with a wet suit, you will get wet!
Under no circumstances will anybody known to be under the influence of drink or drugs be allowed on to the circuit. The company also adopts a zero tolerance policy with regards to –
- deliberate damage to company equipment
- abusive behaviour towards staff
Anyone in breach of the above will be asked to leave the premises and be subject to the full force of any applicable legislation. All deliberate damage will be charged in full.
Practice
Each driver takes part in a practice session; the length of this is dependent on which Mini GP is booked. The Donnington GP is 5 mins, for the Brands Hatch GP it’s 10 mins and for the Silverstone GP it’s 10 mins.
Qualifying
Each driver then takes part in a practice session to decide on Pole Position for the race and grid order. The length of qualifying depends on which Mini GP is booked – for the Donnington GP it’s 10 mins, for the Brands Hatch GP it’s 10 mins, and for the Silverstone GP it’s 15 mins.
The Race
Your place in the finals is determined by how you qualified and you will be sent to the grid and start line and then compete in a final race for medals for the top 3 and bubbly for the winner. Final Race length depends on which Mini GP is booked – for the Donnington GP it’s 10 Laps, for the Brands Hatch GP it’s 15 Laps, and for the Silverstone GP it’s 20 Laps.
Grand Prix for 19 to 75 Drivers
The Heats
Each driver will take part in a 2 lap warm-up drive, followed by –
Indy GP – 2 x 10 lap heats and place in one of the 10 Lap finals.
Monaco GP – 2 x 15 lap heats and a place in one of the 15 finals.
Each race in the heats is for points and the computer will try to give you a balanced position on the grid. For example, in the Indy, each driver takes part in 2 heats and the computer will randomly allocate you to grid positions and also try to mix up the groups taking part in each heat, but this is dependent on the number of people in the event and works better with more drivers.
At the end of the heats we will have a table of each driver’s accumulated points. If two or more finish with equal points, the computer will work out who had the fastest average lap times and move them to the top.
The finals
Your place in the finals is determined by how many points you accumulate in the heats and where you finish on the leader board. Everybody competes in a final with people who finished on a similar points total to their own. For example, in an event with 16 drivers this would result in two finals of 8 drivers, with a runners-up final and a winners final; an event with 31 drivers or more would result in three finals of 10/11 drivers. The finals are run so drivers with lowest points go first, and the Grand Final race is run as the last event.
The Grand Final is for the group of drivers who accumulated the most points and are racing for the trophies and bubbly.
