GGLC Autocross events will have a limited number of drivers to allow drivers to get a large number of runs. Drivers are broken into four run groups A, B, C and D and the groups rotate between running,  working and resting.  All drivers are required to work.

Typical Run/Work Group Order:

  1. "A" runs, "C" works
  2. "B" runs, "D" works
  3. "C" runs, "A" works
  4. "D" runs, "B" works

  • If you want to use your own car numbers or want to change number please contact us to make sure your desired number is not taken already by some one else.
  • Chuforia graffix is the official graphics provider for the GGLC. You can order numbers or any other car graphics at this link.
