Entry Details: Entries will open in May 2025, on a 1st-come, 1st-served basis. 

Entries can either be for a single driver, or two drivers sharing a car.

Qualifying is 18 minutes in length, all drivers must complete a minimum of 3 laps. This is short, but a typical lap time is likely to be in the 1 minute 10/25 second region, so plenty of time to get those laps in, even for two drivers. 

The race is 33 minutes in length, with a mandatory 90 second pit-stop, measured from pit in to pit out, as per CSCC regulations.
The pit window opens at 10 minutes and closes at 23 minutes.

​

If only entering this race, the entry fee is £300.
If you also take part in another race during this meeting at full price, you pay just £133 for this 3 Series race.

All drivers must be a member of the CSCC and therefore agree to our closely controlled driving standards. Membership is £49 and will last for 12 months.

 

There will be a lunch time grid walk, where spectators get to see the cars up close.
