The Buggies:
These cars have a powerful 400cc engine linked to an automatic gearbox, in a chassis with a full roll-cage and all-round spring suspension making them very forgiving for the first-timer and a lot of fun for everybody. There are only two pedals for stop and go. It's just driver and machine against opponents and terrain, leaving you to concentrate on steering your way around the challenging circuit in front of you.
The Race Format:
The initial instruction and safety briefing is followed by a couple of practice laps to get the driver used to the track. Each driver then competes in 4 timed races of 7 laps each, with 4 buggies competing in any individual race (the middle 5 laps in between a warm up lap and a warm down lap). To prevent a mass pile up on the first corner, each kart sets off a split second after the previous kart (all karts will have left the start line within a couple of seconds each other). To allow for any slight differentiation in kart performance, each driver swaps karts at the beginning of each race, so every driver will have driven in each of the karts in 1 race. A grand final is then set up for the fastest drivers from the pre-final race heats, with a bottle of bubbly for the winner.
The Track:
The track is specifically designed to get the most out of the buggies while providing extreme racing in a safe environment. The dirt track incorporates bumps, humps, banked corners and jumps (where catching air is part of the game).
