QRS launches generally kick off from 8:30am and go through to approximately midday depending on the weather and number of launches. We recommend getting there earlier in the day, so you don't miss any of the action.
The general public is welcome to attend all launches, however any launch listed as "Advertised" means there is usually something extra special as these have been advertised with various media groups.
