The fleet
Fifty Identical Karts
One kart is allocated to each team and remains with that team throughout all three race heats. Teams may select an available livery colour and coordinate it with the Sparco team clothing presented on the dedicated apparel page, creating a consistent visual identity for both the kart and the team.
Timetable
Race weekend
Team arrivals and accreditation for teams and drivers.
Sporting checks, driver weigh-in and kart allocation. Free Practice from 15:00 to 18:00.
Inaugural dinner with red carpet.
Sporting checks, driver weigh-in and Team Managers’ Briefing, followed by Free Practice and Qualifying Sessions to determine the starting grid.
Race start at 14:00.
Race finish at 14:00 and awards ceremony. Detailed timing to be announced.
The race lasts exactly 24 hours, from 14:00 on Friday to 14:00 on Saturday, and is divided into three eight-hour heats. At the end of the eighth and sixteenth hours, at 22:00 on Friday and 06:00 on Saturday, the chequered flag is shown: the karts are lined up on the grid according to the standings at that moment and the next heat restarts. The time needed for each restart, about twenty minutes, is part of the 24 hours. For the final sporting classification, each team’s best two heat results count and its weakest result is discarded. Every completed lap across all three heats, including the discarded one, counts towards the team’s charitable donation.
The sun sets at Hergla at 17:36 on 22 October and rises at 06:32 on the 23rd: twelve hours and fifty-six minutes of the twenty-four are run in the dark.
