The first qualifying night will have a single 20 minute session. This is to allow drivers time to get comfortable with the track following the 2nd round of the Track Stars TCS. The 2nd qualifying night which will take place before the race begins will be 10 minute sessions with the number of sessions depending on entries.

Race Start
The race will use a different start procedure to all other Track Stars Touring Car Series Rounds. The race will be set to 126 laps with the 1st lap being a formation lap. Cars will set off a 100km/h with all drivers leaving a few car length gap to avoid any incidents. Approaching the last corner, Cars will then slow to 80km/h with the odd numbered starting position cars lining up on the left side and the even numbered starting position cars lining up on the right hand side. Once the lead car reaches the painted grid spots they can decide when to accelerate.

Racing Rules
Contact
As this is a Touring Car series and damage will be turned off to make the series more enjoyable, we will allow minor rubbing and some banging and as long as no one is disadvantaged we will let it go. If someone is forced off the track / into a wall / spun out or caused to lose more than 1 position due to contact then it will be investigated and penalties will be applied as necessary.
Pit Entries/Exits
When entering and exiting the pit lane, drivers must observe any white line or grassed areas which separate the Entry/Exit of Pit Lane and the race track. 10 Second Penalty will be applied for drivers crossing any white lines or grassed areas when leaving or rejoining the circuit.
Corner Cutting
Driver must respect the track limits at all times during qualifying and racing. Drivers cutting corners and gaining any positions or a significant amount of time without readdressing during racing while be penalized with either a time penalty or demotion of positions. During Qualifying it is expected that drivers are capable of self policing their corner cutting and if they do gain an advantage, they back off during that lap. Generally, the track limits will be a maximum of 2 wheels on the grass or on the inside of the track.
Jump Starts
Drivers must be aware that a grid start with false start check will be used at the beginning of race and that if the brakes are not kept on you will receive a 5 second penalty as soon as the race begins.
Entries
There will be 15 positions available. The 9 competitors who have signed up for the Track Stars Touring Car Series prior to the beginning of the series are guaranteed a grid spot for the High Speed Ring 500. 6 positions will be made available for anyone else who wishes to enter the event. In the event that more than 15 entries are received for the race, then the fastest 6 qualifiers who had not signed up prior to the opening round will fill the remaining 6 spots. There are no limits of the number of cars per manufacturer for this race.
