race day schedule
what to do if you're a new driver
All new drivers attending their first race day will compete in the Open Division, amongst Division 3 and 4 drivers.
New Drivers will compete in their own class, for their own points and medals, and will not impact the Points and Medals awarded to drivers in other Divisions.
Eg: The best finishing New Driver will receive the New Driver Gold Medal and maximum points score, regardless of where they finish overall.
After their first race day, all New Drivers will be assigned a Division in which they will compete for the remainder of the season.
Division assignments are based on lap time data, race results, and racing standards.
If a New Driver is assigned to either Division 1 or 2, their points tally will be halved.
If they are assigned to Division 3, their points tally will remain the same.
If they are assigned to Division 4, their points tally will be doubled.
RACE FORMAT
Each Division will be split into groups of up to 15 drivers
Each group will complete:
