GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING INFORMATION

o We will arrange to sell lunch coupons between 9:00 am and 10:00 am on Saturday and Sunday and have the pre-packed lunch delivered around 1:00 pm.

SINGAPORE IS A TROPICAL COUNTRY; all drivers please take note and be prepared for it. On a best effort basis, we will try to have each run of heats completed under dry conditions. However, when we start off the Xmas tree finals, we will only stop the time table if the track surface is wet.

• Assuming that all goes as plan, we would have 3 RUNS FOR EACH HEAT.

• Each driver will be issued with a single number sticker for your Heats & Finals, please clean the surface of the RIGHT side wall of your body (bearing reference with the front of your car facing away from you) and attached the number sticker onto it. This is to ensure that when your car goes across the transponder pick-up coil, the Time Keeper and Race Director can verify your car number.
