- Drivers must compete in at least 3 races to be awarded a team championship.

Rules

- There is no maximum or minimum length of time that any driver may or must be in the car. However, in order to qualify for driver points, a driver must take part in at least 1 stint.

- There will be a team championship as well as a drivers championship. Team championship points will simply be the point value of the finishing position for each race. Driver points will go to all drivers on a team that take part in 1 or more stints to qualify for driver points. A bonus point will be awarded to the driver on each team who travels the farthest distance in the race. 

- Each driver will only be allowed in 1 car/entry per race. Bringing out a one-off car when not racing with their team will not be allowed.

- Each team must submit a driver stint schedule before each race. If there will be a mid race change, someone from the team must notify an admin of the change asap.

- Any interference with the ongoing race (i.e. crashing, pushign out of fuel cars), or unecessary behavior (i.e., donuts,burnouts) will result in a disqualification.

- Any driver that leaves or lags out will be recorded as completing the amount of laps the game results show. 

- All drivers on a team must use the same livery

- GSR driver numbers will not apply for this championship. Upon sign up, the team will select a car number. No duplicate numbers will be allowed, regardless of class.

- 6 hour races will begin at noon eastern/5pm gmt

- 12 hours of Le Mans will begin at 7:00am eastern/noon gmt

- The starting grid for stint 1 will be decided based on qualifying the week before the race. Starts will be rolling and double file.

- Restarts to begin a stint will be based on current running order and be single-file rolling starts.

- The running order will be based on laps completed. All inter-lap gaps will eliminated between stints and for any cars on the same lap, the on-track difference will be equal to the running order difference (i.e., an on-track pass will be for overall position). If two cars finish with the same lap total, the position will be given to the driver that finishes ahead in the final stint.

- There will be no yellow flags/ caution periods

- There will be no restarts once a stint has taken the green unless a host migration occurs.

Reporting Of Race Incidents

 All incidents can be reported directly after a stint has been completed. Video evidence must be presented to the admins in order for a review to take place. It is up to each team/driver to present video evidence and not the admin team.

The replay/replays will be reviewed by the administrators and a decision will be made as to whether or not anyone is to blame and if a penalty should be given to one drivers or the entire team

Penalties may include, depending on the severity, a drive-through, loss of laps/position, probation, or suspension of drivers/team from the series.
