  BMW CLUB QLD CHARITY DAY
  

  INTER-CLUB REGULARITY CHALLENGE 

  
  

  It’s time to get your entry in for this year's Regularity Challenge - the event where we raise funds for our chosen charity. It's a fun, relaxed day and, just by participating, you can actually make a real difference in someone's life.

  
  

  This event is open to the public. It is Round 2 of the BMWCQ 2025 Motorsport Competition and a round of the Inter-Club Challenge. ICC clubs and their members are especially encouraged to enter this relaxed and enjoyable event. 

  The past eight BMWCQ Charity Day events have raised in excess of $100,000 for local, well deserving charities. Now, with your support, and that of OUR SPONSOR, we will be able to add to that total.

  What Is a Regularity?

  1. A Regularity event is ideal for all levels of driver from experienced to novice and any car is suitable for this event.

  2. Regularity is about driving consistently to the lap time that you nominate. You will get one timed practice session so you can decide on a lap time to nominate.

  3. You score points for every tenth of a second you are away from that time. The person with the lowest accumulated score for the day will be the event winner.

  The Rules:

  1. The rules and scoring details may be viewed at this LINK.  There is no "break-out time" and cars will be seeded into groups according to nominated lap time. 

  2. Please read this important information regarding on-track safety.

  4. A Westhold timer will be provided if you do not have your own.

  5. If your car has Queensland registration, you are advised to obtain a CTP 'Rally Extension' from your CTP insurance provider.

  
  

  Safety Equipment and Clothing:

  
  

  1. A fire extinguisher is recommended but not compulsory.

  2. A helmet that complies with or exceeds standard AS1698. 

  3. Clothing must provide neck to wrist to ankle cover. e.g. a race suit or long-sleeved shirt, long pants and closed in shoes. Avoid synthetic clothes due to their flammability.

  
  

  Preparation:

  
  

  Please read this document for all the basic requirements you need to consider for your car and yourself. Ensure you bring sufficient water/fluids to keep yourself hydrated.

  Support:

  
  

  We are also looking for extra raffle prizes for the day so, if you or your business can provide anything to help, it would be greatly appreciated.  Why not ask your employer to sponsor you for the day.  If you would also like to help sell some raffle tickets, please get in touch.
