Hello to all people for Urth. We all want to welcome you to the newest raceclass with teams and drivers from all around Urth.
The inaugural season will see 37 drivers, 20 teams, 18 car brands and 6 races in 5 different countries.
The teams are racing in 2 classes namely the Factory and the Privateer class. The Factory class is for actual teams with factory backing and therefor are thought to have more money and recources as the Privateer class, For the people watching at home to the races it is made possible to know who is who. In the live timing behind the 3 letters of the driver there will be either a F or a P for one of the 2 classes. For example: ITE (F) or SAN (P)

5-11
6-10
7-9
8-8
9-7

15-1
5 points wil also be awarded to the driver who stars at pole position. 4 for number 2 till 1 point for position 5
The driver with the fastest lap will also be awarded 1 extra point. (not for privateer class)
The drivers for the privateer teams will be awarded 10 points for first position, 8 for second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth, 2 for fifth and 1 for sixth
If a privateer scores points for the overall championship this wil ofcourse count for that championship, but the points from the overall championship will be multiplied by 3.
for example a privateer driver finishes first in the privateer class and in the 11th position overall and has the fastest lap. Then he scores 10+(5*3)= 25 points for the privateer class, and 5+1= 6 points for the overall class
Next week testing will take place at the circuit in East Malaysia, hope to see you there or maybe later in the season at one of the races. Lets hope this will be one spectacular and unexpected season.
