Anyone keen to put an Ausmini team in for the Alpha Club's 6 hour relay race in late 06?

Any interest ?

The 6 hour relay is an endurance event at Eastern Creek, held around October each year.

The idea is that a team of min 3, max 6 cars competes in a "relay" type event, where one car is out on the track at any one time. After practise, each driver nominates a time to which they think they can stick. Handicaps are awarded to each team, based on each drivers nominated time. If the handicap works out ideally, then each team will have completed the same number of laps at the end of the six hours.

If any driver goes quicker than their nominated time, that individual lap doesnt count toward the total number of laps your team does. The winner is the team that completes the highest number of laps in the 6 hour time.

Then of course there is line honours - for the most number of laps outright.....

www.alfaclubnsw.org.au has more info

The race is open to log booked cars as I understand, so roll cages etc are required. This will probably limit the number eligible cars....

The mini club of nsw has won it a number of times, but werent competing last year.

We thought we'd give it a miss this year. We've won it 7 times in ten years. It was great to see an Alfa team take the handicap honours this year.

There is really two events in one. Those going for outright victory (most laps in 6hrs) and those competing in the 'real' race for handicap honours.

Although we are the slowest team we have always been the most consistant. We have reliable drivers and cars who can who can do 70+ continuous laps each.

Not only do you have to try and stick to your nominated lap times - you have to try and not go too fast (or you incur a penalty lap) and also get out of the way of every other team who is faster.

A tough feat for drivers and managers.

A great event - we'll be back next year.

Don't forget that all drivers must have a GC (general competition) license to compete.

Cheers
