Registration:
To register a team for this event you will need to complete our online form: CLICK HERE
You must specify the car and category you wish to enter at the time of registration.
You must also reference the 1:1 Le Mans car that your car is modelled on by giving the year and racing number. This is to avoid duplicate paint schemes. The website RacingSportsCars.com will be used as the official source of reference. Paint schemes will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. All form submissions are time stamped.
The registration fee is £225.00 to be payed in full by 31st January 2015. A deposit of £25.00 is required with registration.
Due to the current instability of GBP in the forex market, fees are fixed in GBP ONLY for this year’s race.
Payment via PayPal, bank transfer, personal cheque.
Registration will not be considered official until a deposit has been received. The first 16 teams to register will be entered into the race.
Any additional teams, after the 16 places are taken, will be added to a reserve list (maximum of 4). In the event that a registered team defaults, the first reserve will take their place. If a registered team does not process payment in full by 31st January, the first reserve will be invited to take their place. Non-competing reserve teams will have deposits refunded in full one week before the race.
Each team will receive an official sticker kit for their car which must be applied as per the regulations.
Final instructions, including provisional entry list, level of race firmware for chip and controller, and any travel considerations will be issued to team captains 14 days before the race. Each driver will be awarded a copy of the official DiSCA race programme on arrival at the sports hall.
