Description

Spend up to four hours racing in a fantastic 1200cc saloon stock car. Start with a briefing on safety and driving techniques, then drive for three practise laps and two racing heats of eight laps each. Based on the points scored in the heats, each driver is streamed into a championship final for up to eight laps against drivers of a similar ability. Winners of the four finals line up for five laps in the Showdown Shootout race to find an ultimate champion. Finish off with a trophy presentation for the best drivers of the day. The race commentary over the PA system, race marshals, fans and trophies up for grabs all make for a superb atmosphere.
