This event will be a fast moving, dynamic race with competitors competing on an extremely rapid, fluid course in short heats, ranging from 20 minutes to 60 minutes long. Races begin with various start plans and have a target of completing laps as directed within the heat time and breaks before the next heat starts. Competitors should plan on competing in approximately 6 heats across 2 days of racing. There will be access to a hot pit during racing.
Based on which class teams compete in, the course will vary in length and technical terrain. For all classes, there will be a mandatory Joker element per heat on a particular part of the course. The qualifying for this event on the Friday 28 Apr 23 to will allow every team to attempt a short complex course to achieve their best time to get their start location on the grid for the Saturday heats. Results from the Saturday will dictate team start positions on the Sunday. Prize giving will follow 1 hour after the last heat finishes. There will be an opportunity to Pre-Run the course on Friday 28 Apr 23.
Access to the site will be possible from 0900 hrs on Thursday 27 Apr 23.

EVENT FORMAT
When combining classes is needed to run events, the following classes will race together on either shared heats or shared courses; (this does not necessarily mean these classes will be amalgamated):
- UTV and Stock – (main course with potentially bypass routes)
- Modified, Legend and Unlimited class – (main course)
- Winch Rally Raid – (main course with winch section bypasses).
TRANSPONDERS
Every vehicle competing must be fitted with a Transponder as used by ULTRA4EUROPE for the purposes of vehicle timing. These can either be rented per event at the cost of £25/ €30 race (payable as part of the entry fee) or drivers can buy a transponder outright from NORA. Transponders are uniquely identified and registered to each driver for the duration of each race.
It is strongly recommended drivers purchase their own transponders as it is more economical and they have control over their own timing transponder.
ON EVENT FACILITIES
Showers/ toilets/ washdown facilities (where permitted) and catering facilities.
It is hoped to create a Market Row area where sponsors and Teams will be able to sell/ exhibit and chat about products and parts.
