Our 2024 WHO/digital GT Championship takes place over three Wednesday evenings and an all-day Saturday. We'll be racing on four tried-and-tested layouts this year...

Wednesday 20 March - Silverstone 2-Hours
Wednesday 17 April - Easter 2-Hours on an updated version of Mike's February 2018 layout
Wednesday 15 May - O'Connor 2-Hours
Saturday 22 June - 4-Hours of Suzuka

Following on from the success of last year's new format, we'll continue with six Pro-Am teams led by each of our Gold-rated drivers, who also supply the cars. A deputy (or two) assist with running the team - additional drivers are allocated at each event...

   

Mike is planning to run four different sidewinder cars this season - and other teams may also chop and change. Cars can swapped right up until the 2-minute Super-Pole session.

Here's a summary of the format...

• CARS: DiSCA GT4 Scalextric Clubman regs.
  
• DRIVERS: Must have completed a Nascar + Legends event. Pro drivers rated Gold & Silver for 2024. All others Bronze.
  
• TEAMS: Gold drivers captain the Pro-Am teams & provide cars. A deputy helps run the team. Additional drivers are allocated at each event - up to 6 drivers per team.
  
• QUALIFYING: 2-minute Super-Pole. Driver starts race.
  
• RACE: Driver-change window every 20 minutes. A 2-hour race has six stints - 3-driver teams race two stints each, 4, 5 or 6-driver teams must allocate at least three stints to Bronze-rated drivers. The 4-hour race has twelve stints, which must by allocated evenly across all drivers.
  
• MARSHALLING: Each team is allocated a marshal post.
  
• REAR WINGS: Must be repaired in pits within 5 laps.
  
• PENALTIES: Can be awarded by Race Control for poor driving standards, marshal post desertion or missing rear wing.
  

We start with a 2-hour race on Simon's Silverstone-influenced track that he designed for last year's Birkett Relay Saturday...

   

Doors open at 6.30pm for practice. Entry is £3 (£2 under-16s) for a whole evening of racing. We ask that racers aged under 14 years old bring a responsible adult with them.
