Thinking of competing? You will require dedication, determination and a will to succeed to win, not to mention a competent crew and a reliable vehicle! You can expect to be cold, tired and wet whilst pushing both yourself and your vehicle to the limit.

The events will be held in the South West across various locations with one event every 2 months. There will be one two-day event, this will be scored on a daily basis.

The series consists of 7 one-day events, two of which will be held back to back over a single weekend. If you score in more than 5 events your top 5 results will be taken for the series.

Points will be allocated for positions achieved at each event, per class, these will go towards the overall series classes. A running points score will be published on this website.

Positions at each event will be achieved on a points basis. Points will be awarded for punch collection using the Chris Watts scoring method - the fewer people who achieve a punch the more it is worth.

There will be prizes for the seriess 1st to 3rd in each class, plus individual event prizes for 1st in each class.
