Digital Saturday format: There’s time for practice after doors open at 10am, but our club car rotation begins sharp at 10.30am. Please don’t be late. The rotation is a great way to get into the groove and learn the track. You’ll drive each of the six club cars for two minutes each - including a pit stop. The aim is to complete as many laps as possible. The day then progresses with three BTCC races emulating a real BTCC weekend, our popular Muscle Car Mondiale class, plus a GT team race. There’s a break for lunch (you’ll need to provide your own) and we aim to finish by 5pm. Full details are in the 2022 WHO Digital Guide: http://www.whoracing.org.uk/who_digital_...02020.html
Covid precautions: It seems sensible to keep our usual common-sense precautions in place to keep vulnerable members of the extended WHO family safe - especially as we'll be keeping the doors closed this time! The main thing is to stay away if you have any symptoms that could be Covid. Inside the Barn, wearing a face mask, practising good hand-hygiene and giving each other space are non-negotiable requirements. We have hand sanitiser and spare masks available if you forget your own. Any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
