Potential Noise Issues:
Before the 2024 season starts don’t forget to repack your exhaust. It is crucial that any noise issues drivers may have must be addressed immediately. For your benefit we need to keep ahead of any issues that may arise. Where possible ‘Noise readings’ will be obtained from all drivers at the beginning of the season, these will be followed up during the year.
Tyres and Filters:
2024 Tyre Regulations are as follows; Dunlop SL3 slick tyres, Dunlop KT10, KT11, KT13 and KT14 wet tyres. 2024 K & N cylindrical filter, Part No. RU 0840, or a K & N conical filter, RU-5111. Please note you may still use the following but these can no longer be purchased Part No.RU 9220, RC 5136, RC 9640. New sets of tyres and filters should be ordered and purchased through the 210 Challenge.
The Challenge relies heavily on the sponsors who provide these products and they are sold onto you with no extra cost, in fact in some cases a little cheaper. So please support your Championship.
Coloured Team Trophy:
This will be an ‘in house’ championship adding to the Camaraderie, making newcomers feel even more welcome, and also encourage help and mechanical advice to those possibly further down the leader board, Each registered driver will pick a colour from a hat at the first round to determine which team they will be in. Each driver will be awarded one point for completing a minimum of 75% of the race distance of the winner regardless of where they finish in the race. If we end up with a tie then the top 10 placings will be looked at. Drivers will have to be registered by the end of April 2024. Coloured decals/logos will be provided.
Guest Drivers:
If you are only able to compete in one or two rounds, you may sign up as a Guest Driver on the day. You’ll be required to pay a guest fee of £25. Guest drivers will be ‘invisible’ in the results for the purpose of issuing points but will still be eligible for individual round trophies.
Novices:
Novices old or new will always be welcomed with opened arms.The top Novice of the year will receive a trophy and prizes and also have the same opportunity to race for a seeded number.
