There has been some discussions about running a 6 Hour Regularity Relay at Calder using the 3km National Track next year, sometime around March, entry fees would be about the same as other 6 Hour events, probably around $1500 per team, your thoughts?

6 Hour Regularity Relays (6HRR's) are aimed at club level motorsport participants. Currently there are 6HRR's run at Winton, Phillip Island, Wakefield Park & Mallala (that I know of) 6HRR's are NOT a race event, you are not racing other competitors you are competing against the clock. 6HRR's are a team event; you enter as a team and compete as a team The relay part of the 6HRR is just that, the event is a relay, you have a baton to change during the 6 hours, the baton is a piece of velcro with your team number on it. Individual drivers are limited to how much time can be spent on the track during the 6 hours. Only one car from each team can be on the track at one time. The regularity part of the event comes about by each member of the team nominating a lap time they believe they can stick to during their part of the 6 hours, Saturday is set aside for practice so that individual drivers can perfect their consistency, for example at Winton I nominate 1.44, my goal for my part of the 6 hour event is to stick as close to that 1.44 as possible, there are lap penalties for going faster than the 1.44, there are lap bonuses for sticking within 1 second of you nominated lap time, if you go more than a second slower than your nominated lap time then you only gain the lap, there are no bonuses or penalties. When the individual drivers from each team add the times together, then divide the number by the amount of drivers, you come up with a number, this is divided by the 6 hours and you get a number of laps you would expect to achieve over the 6 hours allowing for bunus laps to be included. That is a simplistic over-view, there are some more technicalities to the end number, but the bottom line is: It is a team event, focussing on team-work and FUN It is NOT a race You race the clock not other cars To give you an idea of their popularity:Last weekends Phillip Island 6 Hour had 50 Teams with an average of 5 drivers and 5 cars per team (with 10 teams on the waiting list), normaly held first weekend of August Winton's 6 Hour is the same, 40 Teams with the same average of drivers and cars (there are always teams on this waiting list too), normally held in the middle of October (Not bathurst weekend) We did the Wakefield Park 6 Hour in July, in their 2nd year they had 19 Teams, up from 6 last year and they are expecting maybe 30 teams (their maximum) next year, held in early July The Mallala one in held in May, I am not sure of their numbers, but I do know that a lot of Victorian teams go over for it.
