OVERVIEW
Welcome to the first endurance series hosted by QLASH Simracing, the Winter Series 2022!
The QLASH Winter Series 2022 features 4 races running from January to March. The series will start with an 8h race at Suzuka, followed by a classic, the Spa 24h, then it will continue with the Kyalami 9h and it will finish with the challenging 12h of Bathurst.
The Winter Series will provide just one split, but if the entrylist gets fulfilled in a short time we can open up to another one.
The maximum of teams available in this series is set to 48.
Team sizes are 3 to 4 drivers.

To register, please select the "Register Team" button. This will take you to the screen where you select the team you want to register. The "team entry" field is only required if you intend to register more than one car per team.
ENTRY FEE
All teams that enter the series are required to pay the relevant entry fee. For this event the entry fee is set to $50 USD.

After reaching 30 sign ups, the prize pool will go up to $1000.

The remaining $115 will be split between the 4 rounds winners ($10 for the 8h and 9h races, $15 for the 12h race, $30 for the 24h race) and who gets the fastest lap ($10 for 8h, 9h and 12h races, $20 for the 24h race).

POINTS SYSTEM
The points system is available here.
CUSTOM LIVERIES
Custom liveries made outside of the game are permitted in this series but please bear in mind that they are not officially supported by the game's developers.
Any politically charged or potentially offensive material on a custom livery will see the team banned from the series.
To avoid the significant lag that custom liveries cause, we suggest that teams run the livery but without the .png file. Do not run the liveries of other teams under any circumstances. The files are shared for use by the broadcaster only.
WITHDRAW AND RESERVES
If a team is unavailable to attend the race, then use the withdraw function. This is found by clicking on the "Races" tab, and then "Admin" on the round you need to withdraw from. There you will find the withdraw button.
If a team has withdrawn from a race, but wish to attend the race after all, please contact a member of the Event Admin team as the slot may have already been filled by a Reserve team.
If you are a reserve team, you can see if teams have withdrawn from a round on the same "Admin" tab on each round. If you see a team has withdrawn and you wish to take their place, please contact a member of the Event Admin team.
