- ALKHOBAR: The second round of Toyota Autocross Championship 2010 will be held at Iskan Park in Alkhobar and will last for two days from Wednesday.
Participants need a crash helmet and fireproof overall which comply with the FIA regulations, and of course a car. There are different classes for standard cars with very limited modifications, right through to purpose-built specials.
A group of special engineers has designed the track, which has made the contest all the more challenging with a slew of curves and hairpin turns. The circuit length exceeds 1,300 meters and is punctuated with turnings and obstacles. A special digital timing system is being used.
The 35 amateur drivers selected for the round will be divided into seven groups and each group members will compete among themselves. The drivers, with their cars, will categorize into seven classes depending on the engine capacity and power, car size and year of manufacture.
A judge of 12 marshals around the track will control the track. The top three drivers will win cash awards of SR6,000, SR4,000 and SR2,000, respectively.
