-
16 teams, split into 2 divisions.

Teams will consist of 3 to 4 drivers.
-
10 minutes of qualifying (1 driver per team)
-
3 hour race
two divisions
-
Teams will race in either Enduro Division 1, or Enduro Division 2.
-
Both divisions will be on track at the same time.
-
Each team will be assigned a division based on its estimated skill level, relative to the other teams.
-
These estimates are based on our prior knowledge of each driver. New drivers must participate in either qualifying or the first hour of the race to assess their skill level.
-
Preallocated divisions will be announced via email prior to raceday.
-
Whilst divisions will be preallocated before the race day, they may be changed prior to the completion of the first hour of the race.
-
Trophies and medals will be award to the top 3 teams in each division.
pit stop rules
-
Each team must complete a minimum of 7 pit stops during the race.
-
Stint lengths are to be a maximum of 30 minutes long.
-
Teams must notify the pit crew when they wish to make a stop, with around 3 minutes' notice, enough time to prepare the next driver in a new kart and wave the current driver in.
-
A line will be marked at the entry to the pitlane, and when crossed, a 20-second timer will be started.
-
At the end of the 20-second timer, their teammate can exit the pit lane.
-
Entering the pit lane too fast will result in a penalty.
-
All drivers must complete at least; 30 minutes of racing for a team of 4, or 45 minutes of racing for a team of 3
safety karts
-
A safety kart will be deployed in any caution period.
-
Every kart will be slowed down and the safety kart will collect the leader. Everyone will be bunched up, before releasing the pack to resume the race.
-
Teams will not be unlapped during safety kart periods.
-
Pit entry is closed during safety kart periods.
-
The pit exit will remain open to complete any ongoing pit stops.
other notable rules
-
Blue flags will not be employed during the race. Given the safety kart rules, teams are incentivised to stay on the lead lap.
-
While we will not be applying our regular incident rules system for this event, drive-through penalties will be awarded to drivers who drive dangerously and do not follow regular VHKC racing etiquette.
PRIZES
-
Every member of the top 3 teams in each division will receive a medal commemorating their achievements.
