How Does It Work?
There are 6 rounds spread across 3 weekends, so that's back to back racing but in different formats, Saturday is a classic flat track format and Sunday is TT racing. At each round, classes will have four races consisting of between 6 to 15 laps, add qualifying on top of that and you're getting plenty of seat time. Points from every race count towards the championship, so this is where consistency plays a huge role in how you stack up.
