What is the Regularity Competition?
All JDCQ members and invited participants may enter. All Jaguars have an
equal chance of doing well. A specially prepared car is not required. It is a
chance to drive your Jaguar as you think it should be driven, at a pace that
suits you, in your car.
Held at Queensland Raceway, Willowbank, there is a compulsory briefing
before anyone goes on the track. Then a group of similar Jaguars are invited to
drive around the track for some practice laps, each driven at the pace that the
driver feels comfortable with. If circuit driving is new to you, go very carefully
until familiar with the circuit. The group is enjoying the circuit together, each
at their own pace.
When all the groups of Jaguars have completed their practice laps, the times
are printed out, for each Jaguar. This is so that each driver can see what lap
time they were setting. From this, each driver then nominates a lap time that
they think they can consistently repeat in lapping the circuit. It does not have
to be a fast time, just a time you are comfortable with, a time you can circulate
at, regularly.
Once again, groups of similar Jaguars drive around the circuit, each at their
own pace, and the competition is to see who can drive around the circuit, lapping
regularly at a time closest to their nominated time. It is not the fastest car
that wins, it is often one of the slower cars. The winner is the car and driver
who lap the circuit most consistently at their nominated time.
It is also a great day to see all the Jaguars being driven as each driver wants to,
without all the highway restrictions
Get your entry in and have some fun.
