An experiment of sorts is what this inaugural season of VRR's newest Division II championship is. First time since 2014 that events contain multiple races, as well as inverted grids. Fixed setups on detuned, super race-focused GT500 machines should provide some magnificent racing. We hope to see everyone on track!

4.1.8. A driver making more than 1 reactive blocking maneuver will be given a 10 second post race time penalty per additional reactive blocking maneuver after the first.
4.1.9. Jumping the start of the race or a restart after a safety car period will result in a 20 second post race time penalty.

NOTE: All times mentioned in this section are in Eastern U.S. time.
5.1. Event lobbies will open at 6:00 p.m, starting with 40 minutes of practice for all competitors in the event.
5.2. All competitors for the event must be in the event lobby by 6:30 p.m. to be permitted to participate.
5.2.1. Emergency exemptions may be permitted if the driver is able to join by 6:45 p.m. for the start of qualifying.
5.3. At 6:40 p.m. practice will conclude, with all drivers being directed to return to pit lane for a visibility check and a short driver's briefing.
5.3.1. In the instance that the visibility check shows that drivers cannot see all attending participants, all affected competitors must back out of the lobby, save their game, clear their temporary system data in game, and then reboot the game. This is a process that can be done while the driver's briefing takes place to prevent delays.
5.4. At approximately 6:45 p.m. the 20 minute qualifying session will begin. The qualifying format will be using the in game qualifying session, meaning that drivers that miss the start of qualifying will be unable to participate in the remainder of the event.
5.4.1. In the event that the drivers affected by a visibility check are still in the process of returning to the lobby, the start of the qualifying session will be postponed until all drivers have arrived for another visibility check.
5.5. The 80 mile feature race will begin immediately after the end of the qualifying session, and will be a rolling start, with the field two abreast with pole to the inside for turn 1.
5.5.1. In the instance that technical issues plague the initial start, all competitors will be directed to back out of the race for a second attempt.
5.5.2. All competitors in the feature race must utilize a set of soft and medium compound tires. Each competitor only gets one set of each. Usage of additional sets of tires will result in a 1 lap penalty.
5.6. At no point, once qualifying has begun, are competitors permitted to make adjustments to their cars.
5.7. After the 80 mile feature race has concluded, the finishing order of the race will be inverted to complete the starting grid for the 40 mile sprint race.
5.7.1. Competitors that failed to finish the feature race will start at the back of the grid for the sprint race.
5.7.2. All competitors will be required to run the full distance on a single set of supersoft tires.
6.1. A safety car period, otherwise known as a full course yellow, or a caution, is a period of race neutralization due to a severe accident or severe technical issues. Safety car periods will be controlled by the race director to ensure a safe and fair restart to an event with as minimal delay as possible.
6.2. Safety car periods can be utilized following accidents that involve more than three cars, accidents that result in two cars receiving engine damage, or mass disconnections.
6.2.1. Safety car periods utilized for accidents involving four or more cars do not require a specific amount of damage received by any of the competitors.
6.2.1.1. All involved cars could theoretically not receive mechanical damage at all. The requirement for a safety car to be deployed under these circumstances is having four or more cars come to a sudden or unsafe rest on or directly near the racing surface.
6.2.1.2. Additionally, cars that venture away from the racing surface but sustain mechanical damage can still count towards the safety car period so long that the damage was obtained indirectly or directly by the other cars involved.
6.2.2. Safety car periods utilized for accidents where two cars sustain engine damage can only be issued if the drivers involved type out the letters "ED" to indicate that those involved have engine damage.
6.2.2.1. Drivers that do not type out "ED" will not be counted towards the two car requirement for a safety car period of this kind.
6.2.2.2. Drivers that falsify reports of engine damage to have a safety car period deployed will be disqualified from the event in question and suspended for the next applicable event.
6.2.3. Mass disconnections, under VRR definition, is three or more competitors being disconnected from the race lobby within 180 seconds.
6.2.3.1. Safety car periods utilized for mass disconnection events will lead to a red flag period to regather the field and allow the disconnected drivers the ability to return to the event.
6.3. In the event that a safety car period is issued, the race director will type "SCD" for Safety Car Deployment. The entire track then becomes under yellow flag conditions, meaning overtaking is not permitted unless the cars being overtaken are off of the racing surface or hindered by mechanical damage. The field will continue at a reasonable pace until the overall race leader has passed the entrance of pit lane.
6.3.1. The overall race leader will hold a speed of 62 miles per hour/100 kilometers per hour once passed pit lane entrance when safe to do so, and all drivers are expected to leave two to three car lengths between each other while a part of the safety car queue.
6.3.2. If applicable, once the entire field has entered the safety car queue, cars that are not on the same lap as the race leader will be sorted to the rear of the queue without swapping positions with other drivers moving to the rear.
6.3.4. Once the field is properly ordered with P Class cars in front of the queue, and GT Class cars following, the race director will signal that racing may resume at the end of the lap. The race leader must return the field to racing at the beginning of the final corner of the lap.
6.4. The pit lane will remain open at all times of the race, with exception to red flag periods, in which the pit lane will close. Drivers are expected to pit prior to catching the safety car queue, and drivers that pit after catching the queue will start behind the entire queue on the restart.
6.5. In the event of a mass disconnection, the normal safety car procedure will be applied until the field has been sorted correctly. Instead of returning to racing conditions, the field will be stopped by the safety car in the final sector before reaching the entrance to pit lane. The race director will record the leaderboard, as well as obtain the laps completed by the class leaders before all cars vacate the track to allow the disconnected drivers back into the race.
6.5.1. Drivers involved in a mass disconnection event will be scored based on their last completed lap, and will restart the race at the rear of the field, regardless of overall position.
6.5.2. Drivers that disconnect separately without a mass disconnection event will be classified as failed to finish due to technical failures, and will not score points.
7.1. Points will be awarded to the top 10 finishers of each feature race in a 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 fashion, while the top 8 finishers of each sprint race will earn points in a 15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 fashion.
7.2. A bonus point will be awarded to the competitor that scores pole position for each feature race as well as the fastest lap of each feature race as well as each sprint race.
7.3. To score points, drivers must complete 90% of the completed race distance by the race winner.
7.4. Championships will be available drivers, teams, and manufacturers.
7.4.1. Teams will only have their top finishing entry score points for each event, in addition to any bonus points earned by either of that team's drivers.
7.4.2. The Manufacturer's Championship will have each event scored based on which manufacturer won the event. For this season, neither manufacturer can finish worse than 3rd each race as long as they have at least one entry finish.
