The Lockyer Enduro is fast approaching and the organisers have been busy preparing for the 2018 event.
The event will be first off the blocks for the CAMS Queensland off road calendar and will also be round one of the Queensland Off Road Championship.
Thornton in the Lockyer Valley will host the event, with the headquarters and pits situated on the property at the western end of Peters Road.
This year’s Lockyer Enduro layout and format will be the same as previous years. The event format is run over four sections which consist of short laps of approximately 11-12 kilometres and long laps of approximately 18 kilometres.
Section one and two of the event consists of the shorter laps, and in 2018 we will be giving competitors the opportunity to enter either the short course at a reduced entry fee or enter both the long course and the short course.
By dividing the field into separate groups in section one and two, we will also be allowing the option of double entered vehicles to compete in the short course only.
To be eligible for the long course and Queensland Off Road Championship (QORC) points, competitors must complete section one and two of the event and then continue on with the longer 18 kilometre laps for section three and four.
Full details of how the event will be conducted can be found in the event Supplementary Regulations, which can be found here.
