Cars must be fully compliant with MSA regulations (roll cage, fire extinguisher and cut off switches) but the relaxed regulations allow drivers who have already developed cars for trackdays to take part. Races are designed for teams of two drivers and classes are determined on a power-to-weight ratio. Each event consists of 30 minutes practice/qualifying, followed by a 45 minute race both of which will take place on one day. Teams must contain at least one novice driver who has competed in less than six races before. Experienced racers are permitted to race with a novice co-driver and solo entries are also acceptable from novices.
