Friday Private Practice
Private practice will be held on Friday the 30th of October and will be conducted by Wakefield Park Raceway. Competitors can enter on line at the Wakefield Park website here, or at the circuit on the day.
Scrutineering
Due to COVID-19, and in line with the Return to Race Policy, scrutineering will be done on a spot check basis throughout the weekend. All competitors will need to report to the Scrutineering area with their MSA Self-Scrutiny forms.
There are two Motorsport Australia forms, one is self-scrutiny and the second is a compliance form for cars in Target Scrutiny. Super Sprint and Regularity only need to fill in the self-scrutiny form and all target cars (race) need to fill in both.
Scrutiny forms can be handed to the scrutineers from 12pm Friday.
Disclaimer
Motorsport Australia have released a new disclaimer that includes a COVID-19 declaration. Entrants will have already accepted terms and conditions at time of entry, however many team members will have not yet accepted terms and conditions and so this form is aimed at them.
Camping at the Circuit Not Permitted
Due to ongoing restrictions emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, camping at Wakefield Park Raceway is not permitted at this time. We are aware that some of you have taken advantage of this in the past and appreciate your understanding.
Spectators
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a strict limit on venue capacity, the 2020 HSRCA Spring Festival will not be open to spectators.
Entry to the circuit will be strictly controlled and allowed only to entrants, drivers and crew, plus officials and circuit staff. Names and contact information for everyone who attends the venue will be required ahead of time. Entry will be by registered name on a list and presentation of ID on entry to the circuit. Not registered, then no entry.
We are disappointed to once again run without the energy and atmosphere brought by our friends in the broader historic motor sport community. However, we are dedicated to running a safe meeting in these challenging circumstances and will take all steps necessary to ensure that we do so. We hope to be able to welcome you to an HSRCA historic race meeting in the near future.
