Ginetta G40 racing cars of Ollie and Jamie Chadwick at Thruxton, Hampshire.

Race weekend

Meetings are usually made up of two 15-minute races. The starting grids for the two races are determined by a 15-minute qualifying session. Each driver's fastest lap in this session sets their starting position for the first race, whilst their second fastest lap sets their starting position for race two.
