TIEBREAKER
In the event that two drivers are equal on points after the two races (e.g. Driver 1 finishes 1st and 2nd and Driver 2 finishes 2nd and 1st) then there must be a tiebreaker to determine Motorsport Australia's winner.
The first tiebreaker will be an average of qualifying positions across the two races (e.g. Driver 1 qualifies 1st and 5th so their average is 3 and Driver 2 qualifies 2nd and 1st so their average is 1.5 = Driver 2 is the winner).
In the event that the drivers have an equal qualifying average position, then best race lap will be used as the tiebreaker instead.

Qualifying and both races will have broadcast and commentary on the SimGrid Youtube channel.
Live timing is also available on the SimGrid PitWall server.
CUSTOM LIVERIES
