Changes for Practice and Qualifying for the N2/WERA National Endurance Series by Dunlop.
Media, PA (July 2023) – The practice day and qualifying procedure for the N2/WERA National Endurance Series by Dunlop at Pittsburgh International Race Complex has been changed. Traditionally the Friday practice before an Endurance event has been open to racers and track day enthusiasts. Due to the anticipated level of participation for the 6-Hour and 2-Hour Endurance Races at PittRace, N2 and WERA have decided to change the practice day and qualifying procedures.
The N2 Track Day on August 11th, 2023 at Pitt Race has been officially changed to a racer practice day for N2 Endurance and WERA Sprint racers only. All sessions will be timed with a required transponder and the day will be run with three groups based on motorcycle class, not track day classifications. On Friday afternoon, there will be a dedicated session for each Endurance class to determine provisional grids which will be posted on Friday evening. Final timed sessions will be held on Saturday August, 12th 2023 in the morning to improve on times or for those teams unable to make the Friday sessions.
“The Endurance Series continues to grow thanks to our partners like Dunlop, Yamaha, and WERA,” said N2 CEO Jim Curtis. “The turnout for last year’s endurance races at PittRace exceeded our expectations and we expect the turnout to be event larger this year. With the anticipated turnout for the weekend we modified the Friday before the race to be a ‘racer practice’ with timed sessions throughout the day. One rotation in the afternoon will be used to determine provisional grid positions. This will give teams ample time to practice and improve grid position. There will also be a session in the morning on Saturday to improve position and for those teams not able to make the Friday practice. Typically, the day before the event was a track day where track day enthusiasts could sign up and ride. Due to the popularity of racing this weekend that format would not work and we need to allow space for those racing to practice. Full refunds will be issued to those who were signed up for the track day but not racing. We hope they come out and spectate. It’s sure to be another fantastic event.”
Endurance racers are encouraged to sign up for the event and practice as soon as possible including getting on the wait list. Racers can sign up at www.n2td.org
