2013 brings new ideas to the National Banger formula at Incarace!

One of these new ideas is the Figure Of 8 Series, which can be made possible with the revival at Incarace of Figure Of 8 racing!

Incarace has 3 of the best Figure Of 8 ovals in the UK, from the tight turns at Birmingham, to the wide-open intersection at Northampton and who can forget the biggest one of them all! The fast and furious 1/4mile Figure Of 8 inside the Hednesford Hills bowl!

In 2013 the 3 historical Figure Of 8 tracks are back!!

The Dates.

The series will be held over 3 rounds with 1 round at each Incarace track.

Saturday 9th March @ Birmingham Wheels Raceway – Round 1

Saturday 11th May @ Northampton International Raceway – Round 2

Monday 26th August @ Hednesford Hills Raceway – Series Grand Final

Series Format.

To qualify for the prize a driver must compete at ALL 3 rounds and achieve a minimum score of 85 points.

Points will be scored using the Man Of The Midlands scoring system.

Points: 106-92-79-67-56-46-37-29-22-16-11-7-4-2-1

85 Attendance Points can be accumulated in total if a driver races at all 3 rounds.

At Hednesford there will be 2 points scoring heats, a meeting final and then the Figure Of 8 Series Grand Final (non-points scoring).
