HOW TO ENTER?

For each of the three online rounds of the ADAC SimRacing Expo 2023 Professional Trophy, teams must race with one driver. Teams could send a different driver for each round, or just a single driver for all three.

STEWARDING
All races in the ADAC SimExpo 2023 Professional Trophy will have both live and post race stewarding.
Stewards will investigate collisions that are brought to their attention through the game logs, however teams can also use the protest forms made available in the Discord to report rule violations and bring them to the attention of the stewards.
Teams are requested to please check the public incident sheet to see if the contact has been put forward for investigation, before they file a report. This will save time for both the team and the stewards.
Teams will also get the opportunity to appeal against a stewards ruling. Teams are limited to only 1 appeal for the championship. Please note that appeals will only be reviewed post-race as appeals are viewed by an independent party not involved in the original decision.
LICENCE POINTS
Please note that the SimGrid Licence Points system documented in the Sporting Code, will be in use for the ADAC SimExpo 2023 Professional Trophy.
