Team Events on the GP Circuit
ENDURANCE RACING
Team relay event for teams of 2-10 drivers in a Le Mans style race. After putting on race gear drivers attend a safety briefing followed by practice. Qualifying for grid positions may be incorporated into practice. After practice each team nominates a driver to start the race. Teams must plan strategy, deciding how many driver changes to make and when to refuel if necessary. Race lengths can be tailored to suit your individual or group requirements in exclusive events. Typically endurance races run from 30 minutes up to 8 hours in length.
