📝 Driver Sign-In – Thursday 2 pm to 4 pm (Today)

We’ve had lots of questions about sign-in, so here’s how it works:

Arrive any time between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm Today.
Sign in, jump on the scales, and confirm your driver requirements.
Once you’re done, you can leave again – be back for the safety briefing at 4:30 pm (please be on site by 4:15 pm).
Straight after the briefing, heats will begin!

🏎️ Racing Format & Schedule

You only need to be on site for your heats – but arrive 30 minutes early to avoid missing out.
Important: Auckland traffic can be unpredictable, especially on weekends. Plan ahead – races start on time no matter what. Miss your heat = DNS (Did Not Start) = zero points.

Finals & Semifinals:

Semifinals: Saturday morning (70–84.9kg & 85–99.9kg categories only).
First Final (100kg & over): Saturday morning.
Remaining Finals: Saturday afternoon from 4:30 pm–8:00 pm.
Consolation Final: Saturday, 12:30 pm for drivers not making semis or finals (everyone gets a final race).

🏆 Sunday Prizegiving & Endurance Race

Prizegiving: 9:00 am Sunday morning.
2-Hour Teams Endurance Race: right after prizegiving.
- Teams of 3–5 drivers.
- One set entry fee per team (to be split however you choose).
- Each team must complete 11 driver changes.
- Strategy is up to you – just like Bathurst, but shorter and faster-paced!
- The first team across the line after 2 hours (with all driver changes completed) takes the chequered flag.
