Private Practice
The schedule for Friday practice shows a drivers’ briefing at 7:45am, but there will be alternate arrangements if you cannot make the briefing. Practice will commence from 8:30 am and the programme will be available.
Please make every effort to enter online (click this link). This makes the early Friday morning sign on much more efficient. Entry for practice, in person, is also possible on Friday,
This event is conducted for us by the ARDC (not HSRCA)
Paddock Layout and Use
A paddock map is at the above link. Please adhere to this map, particularly in taking up a position on the skid pan. Also, please assist by parking your tender vehicle and trailer in the designated parking areas (not the paddock.)
