2015 Alfa Club 10 hour Relay

Neil Choi · July 06, 2015, 12:24:37 AM

The Alfa Club will be running the Alfa Club Regularity Relay into its 10th year, in celebration of this continuous and successful achievement, the 2015 event will be now be known as the Alfa Club 10 hour Relay. You guess it, the event will be a 10 hour relay to celebrate our 10 years of running the event.
The concept will be to run qualifying during Saturday morning for 3 hrs, with the start of the Alfa Club 10 hour relay beginning at 2pm, for 4 hours, stopping at 6pm. On Sunday, the remaining 6 hour will continue from 10am until 4pm. The results will be calculated from the two combined days' competition.
New rules have been implemented, they include a tiered lap time scoring format, proportioning driver track time limitations and limited pitboard communication to drivers. Details will be in the supplementary regulations.
Entry will be open to the general motorsport community via this Alfa Club competition forum and the dedicated website on 20 July. If you delay your entry, it will be fill out quickly as there is a big demand for team places and we have limited places as you are aware. I wish to look after all but I can't help you once the event is full.

i am very disappointed in the the decision to change it from 6 hrs to 10 hours
i along with several others are withdrawing our entry , the 6 hr format was a well documented success, why change it ?
also disappointed in the lack of consultation with former entrants and clubs ,

Guess you can't please everyone. I cannot wait for the new format, makes better use of the Saturday track time.

Stephen Aarons · July 17, 2015, 07:33:26 AM

Also there will be less Toyotas to pass. Win win for all.

Hi Ian. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Allow me to share mine.
That is a very negative attitude you display. I would understand your comments if they were made post event, but to write it off before it's even happened and make the comments you've made just makes you and your fellow competitor friends look a bit silly and very narrow minded.

Just my opinion.

I am ordering a Camry just for this event. Try and pass me if you can.

I am becoming a little concerned about the unhealthy obsession some of our members are developing for Toyota Camrys. Working in a Toyota dealership I spend all day with Camrys, that's why I have an Alfa for the weekends. Whilst the Camry is a very good quality car that drives well, is reliable and has great longevity they are certainly no Alfa Romeo. Please explain?

Supplementary Regulations and Entry form attached.
Invitation attached also.

Any individuals seeking to join a team can contact me, I may be able to help.

in reply to choderboy
i was just expressing an opinion , thats what the forums are for , unless i am mistaken
if you also note i was showing disappointment with the lack of communication , rather than just springing it on us when the sup regs were released
i did not mean to sound negative , and i certainly wish all competitors well and hope it is an outstanding success

Well I for one am looking forward to the new format immensely. A real test of preparation and endurance, we'll find out who's got the best teamwork and smarts to excel in the new regulations!

It'll be another great October at the Alfa Club 10 Hour!

Mick A · July 20, 2015, 12:41:47 AM

Hi Ian,

Yes it's a forum share away mate that's what it's for.

The info was up on the AROCA website homepage before the supp regs went out.
Many AROCA members were aware.
It's an AROCA event last time I checked. So I'm pretty sure they don't have to ask permission from other clubs to alter their own event.

Anyway, enjoy whatever you are now doing that weekend. I'll be motor racing.
