The Unusual Rigging Limited Shenington 24 Hour Pedal Car Race
2024 Round 3
The Unusual Rigging Limited
Shenington 24 Hour Pedal Car Race,
29-30 June 2024
Proudly sponsored by Unusual Rigging Ltd
Shenington is a fast, flowing track with a good surface and great facilities. Although in most places the runoff is smooth you may need to get over a sizeable concrete kerb to get there..
Record distance: A longer, faster track was used in 2013 for the first time, as 40 cars took the start. BAR won with just four drivers and averaged 19.7mph over the event – the fastest 24-hour race on record.
If we have less than 40 cars we will be using the Short Track.
This track was last used in 2018 and cuts out the long “bottom loop” including Hangar Corner and the following complex giving a length of 595m
For those who are interested in such things, the record distance on this track is 1249 laps set by Wing Racers in 2018 (when 31 cars took the start!).
NB Following ratification at AGM, Solo entries are not accepted at any 24 Hour Race and Solo points are not awarded
Shenington has a totally different feel to other races. Its almost a festival with camping available from Friday evening, on site cafe (if available) and racing through the night. An Experience not to be missed.
Junior Teams PC4 & PC5 do not race between midnight and 6am but that still gives them 18 hours of racing and they will experience racing at dusk into night and the early morning action. Overnight with cooler running and less cars on track speeds increase and the race can be won or lost by making up time on rivals or losing due to incidents or mechanical failure.
The race is run on a simple 1st over the line wins. Championship points are awarded as :-
1st:50 points, 2nd:40 points, 3rd:32 points, 4th 26 points, 5th:22 points, 6th:20 points, 7th:18 points, 8th:16 points, 9th:14 points, 10th:12 points, 11th:10 points, 12th:8 points, 13th:6 points, 14th:4 points, 15th and below 2 points.

Further information
A new venue from 2006, Shenington is a rather fine kart track just a few miles from Banbury.
The track is a fast, flowing track with a good surface and great facilities, including toilets, showers, a water standpipe, overnight camping and even a modest grandstand.
It also sprouts a cafe – open from early Saturday morning, right through the race and up until the trophy presentation on Sunday afternoon.
24 hours is a very long time to be wearing wet clothes: Regardless of any forecast you may see prior to the race, it would be a huge leap of faith to even consider coming here without every piece of racing clothing you possess and a full set of clothes to travel home in, securely sealed into a waterproof container of some description…
Camping is available from pretty much any time on Friday night if required – the track will also be open for testing.
There is an active gliding club adjacent to the track so the high banking between track and airfield is out of bounds for the whole weekend. Please ensure all team members are aware.
Due to noise restrictions at the circuit, no generators or other similarly-noisy equipment is permitted at this event.
This is to maintain ‘good neighbour’ relations with the local residents
This is also a “dry” race with no alcohol or other substances allowed. Any person found flouting this rule will be asked to leave
and the team disqualified from this and all other events.
