Bodyshell - For the pilot event only, we will open the class to all bodyshells (ie GT shell preferred, but non GT shells are acceptable). So no need to prep a new shell just for this pilot event race. Yay!
Qualifying - To allow for the development of our newer racers, we will trial a mixed qualifying format (see below). After qualifying, we will pair the more experienced racers who qualify higher with those who qualify lower to race in the finals as a 2-person team.
Q1 and Q2 will be use the following mixed format to determine the 2-person team for the finals:
- Q1 : 7-min standard qualifying run based on laps and time
- Q2 : 20-min window to clock best 3 consecutive laps
At the end of Q1 and Q2, the qualifying points for each racer will be aggregated, and ranked. The ranking will be used to determine the 2-person pairing for the finals. Basically a driver from the top half of qualifying (the A driver), will be paired with a driver from the lower half of qualifying (the B driver).
Finals Grid Order - To determine the grid order for the finals, Q3 will be run where the B driver of the team will be coached to run the best 5-consecutive laps. The result of the 5-consecutive total laptimes of each B-driver will be used to determine the grid for the finals.
Finals - The final will be run in a team format, with triple 10-min finals. The first driver of the team will complete a 5-min run with his own car, and the second driver will then complete the next 5mins with his own car.
