GRID RATING
This season we are using the new Grid Rating system that has recently been implemented by The SimGrid. This will allow people around the same skill level to be slotted in together. We might make changes to the number of slots per category, depending on the number of people subscribing to this competition.
As always, we reserve the right to remove anyone from a category if we suspect any kind of manipulation. Depending on the circumstances, in case of deliberate foul play this could lead to losing championship points.

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. Custom liveries can be supplied in Discord. Any politically charged or potentially offensive material on a custom livery will see the driver banned from the series.
The qualifying and the race will be streamed live on Youtube.
It is required to join our Discord for communication and drivers briefing.
WITHDRAW
If a driver is unavailable to attend a round in the championship, 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. Drivers are permitted two withdrawals in this series. Missing multiple races without withdrawal will result in disqualification.
