Thanks in advance.  |
Cars will be run in 3 columns over a circuit of 4km...I agree, the P2 turning is legendary for all the wrong reasons lol

Counting the cars through multiple checkpoints along the circuit is essential to officially break the Guinness World Record...Marshalls armed with 'clickers' will count the vehicles as they pass certain distance markers in their columns of three. Keeping speeds down ensures safe car spacing and enables the 'clickers' to keep up accurately lol

Gates will be closed at 14.00 in order for the event to proceed. The Record Attempt will start at 15.30 and will involve up to 5 laps of the circuit. The Event will close at approx 16.30.
