We will be running two formats: An Endurance format, and a Sprint format. Rounds 1, 3, 4 and 6 will run the Endurance format, and Rounds 2 and Round 5 will run the Sprint format.
Qualifying at all events will run for 15 minutes before moving to the race session.
The Endurance format will feature a 75-minute race. The Sprint format will feature a 30-minute race, followed by a 45-minute race. Each Sprint Race will give the same number of points, which will be half the points awarded in Endurance races. There is 1 point for Fastest Lap in each race.
All races have 1 mandatory pit stop for fuel. The refuelling time will be fixed to 25 seconds. Changing tyres is permitted but not required. Dynamic weather is enabled. There is 1 drop round per competitor.
STEWARDING
There will be no live stewarding through any event. Drivers will be allowed to report incidents and appeal penalties as per the relevant forms distributed through the BUSR Discord server. Any incidents will be reviewed and punished as per the Rulebook.
LIVERIES
Custom liveries will be enabled for this event. A form will be made available in the Discord for uploading liveries. In-game created liveries should also be uploaded.
