Fuel Tank Size: 700.

Initial Fuel Level: each driver can ask the race director to set a value before a session is started.

Race Format: In the spirit of Group 5, we will have different types of events. A "Blitz" event where we will have three races of different time length: Race 1 will be 25 minutes, Race 2 will be 20 minutes and Race 3 will be 15 minutes.

The other type of event will be an Endurance event with one single race of 1 hour.

The series will consist of 12 events: for every 3 Blitz events we will have an Endurance event. In total we will have 9 Blitz and 3 Endurance events.

Race Start Blitz: Race 1 will be according to Qualify. Race 2 will be reverse grid from finishing order of Race 1. Race 3 will be reverse grid from overall standing as they are at the beginning of the event.

Race Start Endurance: it will be according to Qualify.

Practice: 10 min Practice with one weather type. During practice cars can be taken out from the track near the driver's station without causing any crash with cars following the stopping car. It is the driver (who want to take his car out) responsibility to make sure not to cause any crash. Fail to do so will results in 0.5 second per incident added to the qualify time.

Qualify: 6 mini Qualify with two types of weather. Cars can only be taken out of the track either after a deslot (as long as the car is not put back on the track) or from the pitlane. Fuel level for the qualify will be used for the main race

For each Blitz race the points will be awarding as follows: 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1.

For the endurance race the point will be as follows: 40-30-24-20-16-12-8-6-4-2.

We will use the SLTP applied to the top 3 drivers.

· Driver Profile First: this SLTP is capped at 58 when at full throttle.

· Driver Profile Second: this SLTP is capped at 60 when at full throttle.

· Driver Profile Third: this SLTP is capped at 62 when at full throttle.

All the other drivers will have standard profilers where the max value is 63 (remember that in RCS64 the max value for the throttle is 63).

Between events, the SLTPs are allocated according to championship positions and are carried in qualifying and Blitz race 1 or into the Endurance race.

For race Blitz 2 and 3, SLTO is allocated according to the finishing positions in race 1 and 2, respectively.
