Sprint open.

changing vehicles mid-season will result in all points being nulled.

stewards and penalties may occur.
- Races will be standing start for all events.
- Race 2 will run on a random reverse grid from positions 6
to 12.

with 5 guaranteed dry races and a minimum of 3 wet races.
TEAMS
Drivers will be grouped into teams based on their
background and introduction to the Championship. Teams will score team points
whilst drivers score individual points. Team liveries will be locked by the
organisers after the media event for the stream. The drivers able to score points for their team will be limited by the size of the smallest team. Veterans will be placed in their own team.
POINTS
2x weekly scores will be dropped, the final Championship total
will be the best 8x rounds of points finishes across the season. This is to allow
competitors 2 full weeks of absence from the championship due to
shifts/deployments, or low-scoring rounds.
An additional point will be awarded for setting the fastest lap of each race; each race entrant is eligible no matter where they finish. Double points will be awarded for longer races.
Incident points in iRacing will introduce a
drive-through penalty at 17x and every 10x thereafter.

be uploaded to the Google Drive folder made available within the discord server
and will be vetted before week one, if a suitable livery is not uploaded then
the organisation will provide one. A decal layer of official sponsors will be
added to each livery, details will be provided in the Discord server.
