WHAT IS THE CLUB CHALLENGE?
The Club Challenge harkens back to the early days of F100, when F100 was a traveling group that ran only a few classes as part of local club races. For the Club Challenge, F100 and F-206 will join with local clubs for their club events. Local clubs will run the show. This means that racers will register the day of the race (pre-entry is not offered by most host clubs) with the club and the clubs will be responsible for the entirety of the race day. F100 will be on-site to provide support to the club and racers, as needed. F100 and F-206 will give racers in the applicable F100 and F-206 classes points towards the Club Challenge Season Championship for each and every official Club Challenge race.
There will be no daily trophies awarded through F100 directly, but if the host clubs provide trophies F100 and F-206 will make sure those are handed out. F100 and F-206 will award year-end championship trophies at the end of the Club Challenge season.
The Club Challenge is a great way for all racers to join in on the F100 and F-206 fun while supporting local clubs!
WHO CAN RACE AT THE CLUB CHALLENGE?
EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Subject to certain limitations, everyone is welcome to race at the Club Challenge. THIS INCLUDES ALL LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 racers. The goal is to have very large fields to add to the local club races and to have a fun day of racing for all participants and we welcome all racers to participate!
WHAT CLASSES ARE OFFERED AT THE CLUB CHALLENGE?
Only certain classes are offered at the Club Challenge. FK2, FK1 Senior, FK1 Masters and LO206 classes will be offered. If there is enough demand prior to the race, we will also run the FC2 and FJ2 classes.
FK1 Senior, FK1 Masters and LO206 classes are the only classes that will be given points towards the Club Challenge Season Championship.
The Club Challenge is designed for racers to enjoy a fun, friendly and competitive day at the track!
