Up to eight cars start on a straight line grid and race over 4 - 10 laps. This results in the major race meetings, most of which are staged over the course of two days, offering upwards of 200 races! All classes normally race through qualifying heats and finals followed by, if time permitting, open races where all classes have the opportunity to race each other, and at the major championship meetings you will see the top drivers from each class competing against each other resulting in the Champion of Champions Driver, which is the ultimate title to have!

The social aspect of the sport is a very large factor in what makes the atmosphere so enticing and allows friends from all over the United Kingdom to meet and catch up at the 'larger' events. The family nature is still, as has always been, an important factor - sometimes all members of the family are seen to be sharing one car and racing at one meeting.
