Challenge Format
3 Hour Lap Challenge
Teams of up to 4 will be challenged to ride as many laps of the course as possible in 3 hours. Riders can alternate via the pit lane at their own discretion. So, if you like, you can take a strategic racing approach, or just change and rest whenever you wish - but the more riders on the track, the more laps you achieve.
The first 3 hours is open to all riders and is simply the most laps ridden by individual and team stage on the circuit.
Sprint Challenge
Fastest 2 laps completed by an individual rider.
First single rider across the line claims the win!
