Coastal Raceway's opening date for 2012 will be the Crazy 5 Endurance Event on Sun April 1st, 10am start.
Things are starting to look a little more promising for 2012 now, so while we are not 100% home and dry for 2012, all going well this should prove to be a fun start to 2012 for Coastal - and hopefully one that will replenish out bank account somewhat!

There are a few changes for the 2012 event, with slight changes to age restrictions and car numbering requirements - also, RWD cars are again allowed to take part (at your own risk!!)

For those too lazy to check www.coastalraceway.co.uk for further info, here are the main details copied from the website:

Coastal Raceway kicks off the 2012 season on Sun April 1st with the annual Crazy 5 Endurance Event.
Following the usual format for our 'Crazy' Enduro Events, teams of up to 8 drivers (per team) will drive a single car non-stop around a specially prepared, extended track for 5 hours. The team who has completed the most laps during the allotted time wins the event!

COST OF RACING
£100 per team
COST OF SPECTATING
£3.00 Adults, £1.50 Children under 16

NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED! - however we do require teams to BOOK IN by email.

BOOKING IN
Simply email us your team name along with the names of your drivers taking part!

FORMAT
As already mentioned - complete as many laps as possible within the allotted time! The team who has chalked up the most laps wins the challenge on that day! An unlimited amount of 'Pit Stops' are allowed for refueling and swapping of driver stints etc - how you decide to organise this is your call.

RULE CHANGES FOR 2012
There are a few changes to the rules for 2012. In a nutshell, here they are:

RWD CARS
RWD cars will be permitted to take part for the 2012 event, BUT! In the case of the car having to be repeatedly recovered by the Coastal Raceway staff, or if the vehicle is becoming a hazard to track / competitor safety (eg in slippery conditions) during the course of the event, Coastal Raceway reserves the right to withdraw the vehicle from the event with no reimbursement of entrance fee to the team in question. Put simply, if you choose to enter a RWD car, you do so at your own risk!

AGE RESTRICTIONS
Any competent driver aged 16 and above can enter. Registered Coastal Raceway junior members aged 14 and above may also enter, but must be supervised by an adult aged 21 or over. The above applies for both drivers and navigators.

ROOF FINS
All vehicles must display a BLANK banger/grasstrack style number fin on the roof. At scrutineering, a number will be assigned to each team for lapscoring purposes during the event.

The full rules / build regs for the 2012 event can be downloaded from http://www.coastalra...driverinfo.html

SCRUTINEERING
Scrutineering will start at approx 7.00am. Arrive EARLY or you may risk missing the start time and therefore lose out on laps! The event will start at 10am prompt.

CAMPING!
We regret that camping is not permitted at the track for this event. Anyone turning up on the Saturday evening hoping to camp will be turned away. However, there are plenty of campsites in the local area - a quick google search should provide options!

PRIZES
The winning team for 2012 will be awarded a trophy and will also win £100 - in other words, you'll win your entrance fee back!

In running this event, we aim to provide a great, fun event that is both affordable and accessible - even to those with minimal mechanical knowledge or racing experience.So why not organise a team and join in the fun?
