King of the Rim is back in 2012, and will be longer, faster and tougher then ever!

 

Following the huge popularity of last years event from both competitors and spectators alike, organisers Brett and Mitch Thorpe, in conjunction with Offroad Boss and Scenic Rim Adventure Park, are already laying down plans to make the event bigger and better in every way for 2012.

This year will see a slight format change, to give competitors even more driving time, and more action for spectators. Teams will have 4 hrs to do as many laps as they can. This will be split into two, 2 hour sections, with Extreme Mod class starting at 8am and running through to 10am. The buggy/truggy class starts at 10.30am through till 12.30pm, a break for lunch, and then re run both classed again through the afternoon. The winner’s will be those with the most amount of laps acumulated. What this means is more cars on track for the spectators,  and the fastest cars running the full 4 hours, and will give teams a chance to fix breakages in between runs, and continue to the end. There will be no time alloted for pit stops this year, so any breakages will have to be fixed in race time, unless they can be managed until the end of the 2 hour stint.

The spectator area will be increased, with more obsticals, and the track will be made longer, to allow more cars on track at once. A win win for the spectators.

There are two planned pre run days (date’s not confirmed), for which the park will be shut down to allow for full speed pre running. Spectators are invited to attend, but will be restricted to viewing area’s whilst the park is shut down. Dates will be announced once confirmed on the Offroad Boss website, Scenic Rim website, and social media sites like outerlimits4x4.

Special stages are still to be confirmed, with the Hill Drags and Cal’s Valley run garunteed to be included, and possibly more. Check the above mentioned websites regularly for updates on this.

Entry fees, camping and spectator information will be posted on the Scenic Rim webpage in the coming weeks.
