Handling Challenge
The tight handling circuit is designed to test your driving skills not just your cars power. So if you've got a Micra or a Starlet and are afraid of the big-boys on the dragstrip then show 'em your heels on the handling circuit! Power counts for nothing here, so work your steering wheel into a blur and tug on your handbrake around the tight corners.
The best news is it's completely FREE to enter and there is a cool trophy up for grabs. All you need to do is show your driving licence and fill in the sign-on form.
Signing On Procedure
- Walk over to the handling circuit signing on at the start of the course.
- Fill in the disclaimer form and present your driving licence.
- You may now move your vehicle over to the handling circuit fire-up road.
Rules & Regulations
- The handling circuit is ONLY for road legal cars. No slick tyres etc.
- Seatbelt is mandatory.
- No Passengers allowed.
- A 5 second penalty will be added if you hit ANY part of the circuit. 3 penalties and the run is VOID.
- Any stupid driving or failure to comply with the instructions of marshals will result in your immediate removal from site.
