Rally Racing - 1/10th Buggys

[Nick Goodall]

This was just a random thought i had so please don't take it too seriously, i just thought i'd see if anyone's ever tried this or thought about it for racing?

Obviously our tracks are built for 10 cars to race around so are all nice and big/wide which is great..... but for a one off meeting how would this be for a laugh?

The idea i had would be to layout a track but in a rally "stage" kind of idea where obviously it would be a lot narrower which therefore means it could be a lot longer lap time.

How about no practise, no marshalls and you literally start off on your own and the next car doesn't go until you've completed the "stage".

I was thinking you could even do it one way for round 1, let all cars run and see who was fastest through the stage.

Round 2 you could reverse the track (again no practise or marshalls, you crash and you're out)

Round 3 you could do a back to back lap where you have to complete one way through the stage, turn round at the end and then come back on yourself.

Round 4 as above but in reverse.

Obviously there are loads of other ways you could do it (i.e have 3 laps at it) or whatever to increase track time but depending on Numbers it would probably be fine like the above.

Only a random idea i had but i just thought it would make quite a fun day out if you have limited numbers (which seems a common theme these days) and would just bring a bit of a different atmosphere to the racing.

Would all come down to clean but fast driving on a narrow track you don't know....

Thought it could be fun as a one off anyway With a track 1/2 the normal width you could obviously use main features twice through one lap too which could be cool at certain tracks (batley etc)
