Flyer absence.jpg

As a signed up driver we expect you to be present during all five rounds. This commitment shows respect to the league, your fellow drivers and the organisation.

A one time absence is permitted during the 2019 season provided you notify the league director within 24 hours of the commencement of the practice session, and it is a valid reason.
