Qualifying Circuit
Qualifying will take place on a shortened version of the Final Circuit. Qualifying format will be shorter races with smaller groups with top placings progressing to the A Finals and other riders entering the B Finals.
Final Circuit
Taking information gathered from last years race we’ve designed an all new circuit for this year. No hairpin down the banking this time! We feel this layout is a great mix of technical cornering on the infield and power around the junior and main track.
Qualification
Fixed Crit Racers will enter either Thunder or Lightning categories (full details here) and the qualifying rounds will determine which final they end up in (A or B). We are simplifying the format from last year.
Qualifying will take place between 1.30pm and 3pm.
Qualifying races will be 12 laps
There will be 4 Thunder (groups of 10-12 racers) and 2 Lightning (groups of 7+ racers) Qualifying Races
Thunder:
• Top 4 in each race will qualify for A final
• Bottom 4 will move into B final
• All others will move into Last Chance Race
Lightning:
• Top half will qualify for A final
• Bottom half will qualify for B final
Last Chance Race (Thunder only):
Another 12 lap race with middle finishers from Thunder Qualifiers. Top half finish will move racers into A final. All other finishers will move into B final.
Please note, the organisers reserve the right to adjust format if needed to based on numbers of participants and for time keeping purposes. The organisers decision is final.
