Crossing The Finish Line
Please refrain from post-race chat ("congratulations", etc.) until after all competitors have crossed the line.
Sign-ups
Be aware that the different cars have different handling characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. Some cars may be more suited for a particular track, but then others will be more suited to a different track.
You must use the same car for both the Endurance Championship and NZrFL45: Asia Pacific GT3 Championship.
Please register which car and livery you would like to race with in the reserved skins thread to be posted shortly.
Then make sure you sign up at the Points Site, if you need any help you can post here.
Teams
There is a teams championship as well, so grab a team mate and register your team of two on the points site. Teammates do not need to be in the same make of car.
Car Changes
No car changes are permitted in this league.
Drop Round
As this league is spread over a longer period of time than usual leagues, we are allowing each driver to have one drop-round out of the first four. Prior to the fifth and final round starting anyone who has completed all four rounds previously will have their worse result dropped from the points site in the form of a points penalty. This way more drivers will be able to fight for the league title despite real-life commitments.
