IORK Rules and Weekend Format
Check out our IORK FAQ page.
We are planning to run our format similar to the following for 2024.
At 9:00 a.m. on Friday, September 6th, 2024, we will hold our driver sign-in, weigh-in, and event briefing on the rules and the weekend's format. Then, we will kick off round 1 of qualifying, and each driver will race approximately two qualifying heats in each category they have entered. Each qualifying heat is 25 laps.
We will complete Round 3 on Friday from 6:00 p.m., and most of the drivers will race another 2-3 qualifying heats in their chosen categories. The night racing should conclude by 9 p.m., depending on the number of entries.
Starting Saturday at 9 a.m., we will start Round 4 to find our qualifiers for each category and kick off the first of our five-category finals.
We will kick off our finals on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. to find the New Zealand Champion for each category.
Sunday morning, there will be a prize giving at 9 a.m. and then the popular Bathurst teams event, where drivers get together and form a team; many make regional teams or a group of travelling or local mates.
Usually, the weekend racing is completed by about noon.
There will be breaks of approximately 3-4 hours between rounds on Friday and Saturday, so you can make other plans while in Nelson and pop away during those periods. Once you have your race programme, you must only be here 20 minutes before your races.
At sign-in on Friday morning, each driver will be given an entire race programme that includes all the start times of your qualifying races and then finals. All entrants will be notified before arrival if any of the above details change. We send emails the week before racing to update you on event news.
We can operate in most conditions, so expect to be still racing if part of the local weather forecast predicts rain over the event weekend.
