🏆 Competition Rules 

👥 Team Formation

• Teams are formed right after qualifying.
  
  
• Qualifying: 10 minutes – Suzuka Circuit – Gr.3 – Racing Soft tires.
  
  
  • Top half = A drivers
    
    
  • Bottom half = B drivers
    
    
• Team leaders = fastest drivers in qualifying.
  
  
• Co-driver selection order:
  
  
  1. Fastest qualifier picks first.
     
     
  2. All B drivers are picked before A drivers.
     
     
• Number of teams & drivers per team depends on total participants.
  
  

🎯 Team Roles

• Each team must have an observer in the lobby (not driving that race).
  
  
• 🕵️ Observer rules:
  
  
  • Can give info to their team from spectator view.
    
    
  • Must race in the other race (swap roles).

  1. Suzuka East Course – Gr.4
     
     
  2. Suzuka Full Course – Gr.3
