The action is taking place along four of BIC’s track configurations, including the Inner, Outer, Endurance and Grand Prix circuits.

The schedule includes a friendly timing competition. Points will be awarded for each participant’s fastest completed time per track, with the winners being determined based on the combined points from all four tracks. Trophies will then be presented to the top three in each car class. Cars are placed in their respective categories according to their capability, power, weight and tyre type.
