We turn LEFT and RIGHT...
Legends were born and bred on the oval circuits of North America. In fact, the whole car is built to turn left - the driver and engine are offset to that side. In the U.K., however, we make them turn in either direction. This means we can race at some of the top circuits in the country - Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Rockingham, Mallory Park, Knockhill and so on. You can find out more about these circuits by visiting our Calendar page.

Three Races
Unlike most series, Legends drivers get to race three times during the meeting. That means extra value and excitement for drivers and spectators alike. Each driver races in two heats and a Final.

A Unique Format
Legends racing is about entertainment. For that reason, things are done a little differently on race day: Practice - The cars will have a short practice session. Each driver has to complete three laps of the circuit to 'qualify' for the races.

The Grid
We DON'T use qualifying times to determine grid position. Instead, we use a ballot draw - each driver pulls a ball from a bag - the number and colour of the ball determines where on the grid he/she starts in their first race. These are reversed for a drivers second race so if you draw the inside of row one for your first race you'll be on the outside of the back row for your second race.

Each driver races three times during the course of the meeting, scoring points according to finishing positions in each race. The points are totalled at the end of the meeting to determine that meeting's winners.

The Heats
Each race is a short, sharp, generally frantic affair. Depending on the circuit length, the cars race for between 7 and 12 laps. Because of the unique grid system, the fast and not-so-fast are mixed together, producing some hectic action as the quick drivers try to battle to the front.

The Final
Grid positions for the Final are determined by the points scored in the heats. However, we like to do things differently, and the highest points scorers start from the BACK. The action is more frantic than normal as most of the fast drivers are at the back, all trying to fight to the front at the same time.

The Result
Cars score points in each race - the points from each race are added together to determine the winner of the meeting. All points count towards the Championship.

Team Car
It is the CAR that scores the points, not the driver. This makes the series extra attractive to those on a tight budget - it is possible for two or more drivers to share a car for the season.

Rookie Championship
Each year's new driver intake contest the Rookie Championship - a separate trophy within the main competition.
