Independent Race Series News
Round 1 Entries Open
Entries are now open for our first round of 2012. As with previous years, you have a number of options for submitting entries - the old fashioned paper entry (you can download a PDF, print it out and post or fax it in), the even more old fashioned paper entry (where you can request us to send you a paper form so you can fill it out and send it in), or the all-singing, all-dancing online entry system. The one link below will take you to a page where you have all three options. We're also rewarding those who enter for multiple rounds with a discount system - the more rounds you enter, the bigger the discount.
Round 1 will be held at Queensland Raceway, 31 March - 1 April (with Friday practice available 30 March). Entries are open to Production Racing Cars, Muscle Division and Touring Car Challenge.
Watchlist - Getting in the mood for 2012 Season
It's around 80 days to the first round of the 2012 Independent Race Series. Our last round was nearly four months ago. For many of us, we'll be suffering from withdrawals, and itching to get back on the track.
To help get you in the mood, we've compiled a list of inspirational videos - either directly motorsport related, or looking at competition in parallel sports. Enjoy!
Senna movie - just a preview here, go and get yourself the whole thing on DVD (or from iTunes).
TT3D - Closer to the Edge - an awesome documentary about the Isle of Man TT, it features some stunning footage, and looks at why people keep coming back. A really good look at why people love motorsport. Preview below, the whole thing is tricky to get hold of on DVD/Bluray, but it's worth the search!
Why - a short film to promote a new Nikon camera, but looks at why people love the sports they live and breathe.
The Art of Flight - a snowboarding movie, but visually stunning, and again it looks at why people keep coming back to the sport they love. The full thing is well worth a watch, available on DVD, or iTunes.
24 Hours in 19500 Frames - short film capturing some of the emotion of endurance racing.
Climb Attack - a bit of a tribute to the classic Climb Dance.
Danny Hart Downhill Run - some amazing commentary, and a sportsman operating well and truly in the "zone".
