Overview
This is a five-week series intended for Clubman Class B cars. These are cars which, as stock, before any tuning, do not exceed 266bhp or are lighter than 1100kg. In this series, entrants take part each week in a series of four short sprint races. Those who are successful throughout the championship will find the challenge increasing with each successive race, as the performance levels of their cars are handicapped, relative to their race finishing positions.

The Handicap System Explained
In the first heat of the first event, everyone starts at the full 455pp. The results are recorded, and the podium finishers receive a PP reduction of 3, 2 and 1pp for first place, second and third, respectively. This applies to all following heats in all events for the whole of the championship. Successful racers will accumulate points, up to a maximum of 9pp (446pp). If a handicapped racer finished a race outside the podium, their handicap is reduced by 50% (if this results in a half-point, this is rounded DOWN to the nearest value). For example, someone with a 7pp handicap comes 4th in a race, their handicap is reduced to 3pp.
Players are free to effect any handicap however they like, whether by reducing power, increasing weight, or a combination of both. Players must remain aware, however, that engine power restriction must not drop below 90% power.
Race Procedure
• Events begin at 20:00GMT.
• Each heat is approximately 15 minutes in duration.
• There is a 10 minute qualifying session for the first heat of the first event, after which is a continuous, player-arranged reverse-grid system for all following heats of the whole series.
• There is a 7 minute break between the end of a heat, and 'scrutineering' for the next heat. During this period, the track is open for testing/practice, unrestricted.
• Before each heat, the host resets the track, then adjust the PP restriction in order of handicaps, and at each level, those players are called to join the track and remain in the pits. This process is referred to as 'scrutineering'.
• After scrutineering, the host calls out the grid order of the race, player by player. When a player's name is called, they exit the pits, drive up to the first corner, stop and engage the handbrake. The remaining players proceed likewise as they are called, lining up behind the previous player according to grid order. The race is then ready to start.
Entrant Roster
There is a maximum number of entrants per manufacturer of 3. This is done on a first-come-first-served basis. After registering, entrants are free to change their choice of car at any time before the series begins, so if you are unsure as to what car to choose, please do not submit your choice until you are satisfied, so as to not bar another player from selecting it if that manufacturer choice is numbering 3. When a player selects a car, it is treated as if confirmed. Once the series begins, cars may not be changed.
