FAST FACTS
ON-TRACK, drivers will tackle the 2.14-Mile Gingerman Raceway for two 20-minute practice sessions then vie for the best single lap in two 20-minute TimeAttack Sessions, a furious no-endurance needed point-to-point TrackSprint and then another two 20-minute TimeAttack sessions. The best times from each pair of TimeAttack sessions plus the best TrackSprint run will be combined to determine finishing order and the top three overall and in each class stand on the KONI Podium and take home the trophies.
OFF-TRACK: Those who want to experience the action, excitement and festivities of a Time Trials National Tour are not limited to drivers. Tech Officials, Timing and Scoring gurus and more are welcome at the event and at the parties.
