Round One Entries Open

Entries are open for Round One of the 2009 Independent Race Series.

All entry forms for 2009 will be available to complete online. (We'll still need competitors to sign a printout of the data you entered during your scrutineering administration at the circuit, but this will be provided for you.) Those who prefer the old method will still be able to use a hardcopy form for mailing or faxing in.

Entrants who use the online system will have the option of paying by cheque/money order (by post), credit card (by fax, telephone or post) or via the secure online PayPal system.

The Online Entry Form for Round One is available by clicking here.

The old-school PDF for printing and posting/faxing is available here.

As always, all of our forms and administration are available from the Admin page of the site - irace.net.au/admin

Rewards Available

As a celebration of our brand new sytem, and to encourage competitors to get their entries in early, we also have another exciting announcement: the person who submits the first paid entry for each round will receive half price entry for the following round. (There are a couple of conditions: 1) each competitor may only win once during the year, 2) the half price entry is only available at the following round - ie; the first paid entrant for round 1 will be eligible for entry at half price for round 2 only.)

Small Request

Entries have already started rolling in, so if you haven't entered for Round One yet, you'll have to wait for the opening of Round Two entries to be in the running for your shot at a half price entry.

To those competitors who have already submitted their entry via the online system, we've had a very small glitch. Any forms that were submitted that were not 100% complete did not make it through. It seems that you would have still received the "Success" message, but unfortunately the entry has not been transmitted to the database. The problem has now been corrected, but if you submitted an entry at the beginning of the week, and you think this may be you, please either complete the form again (we'll delete any duplicates), or get in touch via email to check if we've received your entry. Our iRace robot apologises for the inconvenience!

Round One of the Independent Race Series will be held at Morgan Park, QLD, 20-22 March 2009.

Oran Park 2008 Video Online


Video footage from the Oran Park round 11 October 2008.

This is a raw cut, not quite the polished product you can expect for 2009, but uploaded so you all get to see it asap, there's no commentary as yet. We've been considering running a competition... Best user-contributed commentary gets added to the video. Contact us here to find out how to send your commentary in.
