Looks like there is a new event for next year.
3rd & 4th of May 2014 96 laps of QR.
looks like Zoomzoom and I are going to fire up the boat, to see if she will last the 300ks.
Should be good.

ALL NEW QR 300 ENDURO AT QUEENSLAND RACEWAY FOR THE FESTIVAL OF CARS

Queensland Raceways has announced the introduction of the all new QR 300 Enduro Race as part of the Festival of Cars at Queensland Raceway, 3rd-4th May 2014.

The new race format is based on the highly successful Wakefield 300 event held annually at Wakefield Park Raceway, and will see competitors complete 96 laps around the National Circuit for a total race distance of 300km.

The QR 300 will be open to all Sports Cars and Sedans, including (but not limited to) Improved Production, Sports Sedans, HQ's, Geminis and Excels. The minimum lap time around the National Circuit will be 1 minute and 22 seconds. Each vehicle entering the QR 300 must be dríven by a minimum of two drivers with a maximum of three drivers for the event.

Queensland Raceways General Manager, Keith Lewis, said that the event will hopefully draw a wide range of cars and competitors to the circuit; including interstate drivers who currently compete in the Wakefield 300.

"The success of the event at Wakefield shows that there is definitely a large market for this type of race meeting. The plan is to run the event in 2014 to gauge the interest in a 300km enduro at Queensland Raceway, with the aim of running an 'East Coast Challenge' series with three events across three different circuits in 2015."

Supplementary Regulations and further details for the new event will be finalised over the coming weeks and released early in the New Year.

When they say "The minimum lap time around the National Circuit will be 1 minute and 22 seconds." they mean maximum actually, correct?

Magpie · Postby **Magpie** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 7:15 pm

I assume that if you can't meet the min time you are excluded.

mazmad · Postby **mazmad** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 7:17 pm

Sounds like it

Because "You must circulate above the minimum time of ...." could be a slow procession, judging by lap times there.

A minute 22 is pretty quick around the national circuit.
I'm sure there will be more info coming out
I know for sure the excels and HQs run in the mid to high 30s

Yeah minimum lap time as is done at the Wakefield and Winton 300 races, so if you go quicker you are penalised. This allows for a greater range of cars to play and discourages some cars from playing that would ruin it for everyone.....
