The caught group is effectively neutralised until the faster group is 150 metres clear of it (roughly the distance from start/finish to hairpin).
Using the shortcut may not always be feasible: if one race does catch another, the slower group (the one having been caught) must give way to the faster (catching) group. Please pay attention to officials’ directions on whether to take the shortcut on any particular lap – this is indicated by orange flags and a loud whistle. The races are run as three separate races and a shortcut may be used to keep them separate. This means that if you are pre-entered and turn up after 6:55pm you are in danger of losing your place to someone else – with no refund!ģ rd cat men’s race begins: 30s after E12 (approx.)Į123 women’s race begins: 1 minute after E12 (approx.)
