Race Format and Points Structure
The championship consists of two categories: Professional and Amateur. Drivers in both categories are competing for a prize money of £32,000. Additionally, there is a team championship where each team assigns a maximum of two drivers to score points for them throughout the season.
Points are awarded based on finishing positions in the respective classes.
Race Format
For 2022 the Championship will consist of 15 races over six event weekends.
New for 2022 are the Triple-Header events. At three weekends there will be three race, with Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday, and Races 2 and 3 on Sunday.
Qualifying at the Triple Header events will set the grid positions for Races 1 and 2 – the fastest and second fastest laps will count.
The overall finishing positions of Race 2 will determine the starting grid for Race 3.
All Races will have standing starts.
At all other events, the following format will apply:
Race 1
Each driver’s fastest qualifying time will determine their place on the starting grid.
Race 2
The finishing order of the first race will determine the starting grid for the second race of the weekend. If a driver does not finish Race 1, they will start behind the last race finisher within their category, and not at the back of the entire grid.
Both Race 1 and Race 2 will have standing starts.
Points Structure
Drivers will score 1 point for setting the fastest lap in their category in each race.
Drivers that set the fastest lap time within their category during qualifying at each race weekend will be awarded one championship point.
