This new and exciting 8 round winter series adds a new dimension to endurance racing. Run over five weekends with the course changing on each round, the riders are given a greater variety.
This 8 round series will be run on a competitive basis with riders in all classes being timed using our ‘race result’ timing system. Each class will be awarded 25 points for a win, 24 for second, 23 for third and so on down to 1 point for 25th place. To qualify for overall points you must compete in a minimum of 5 rounds.
With this new 8 round series we understand your constraints on travel and time and therefore only 7 out of the 8 rounds will count towards your overall score, allowing you to drop your worst result.
Where there are two events over a weekend, the course on the second day will be different to the first.

It is permitted for other riders on the course to offer help by way of parts and equipment, but the rider must carry out their own repairs with no outside assistance.
The winners will be decided by either the most laps completed in the given time or in the case of a tie the quickest time achieved will be classed as the winner.
