• All drivers are competing against their class only (PRO, PRO-AM)
• Fasted Lap gets an additional point
• DNF gets 0 point 

3.3.1 Driver standings Tie-Breaker

In the event that two or more drivers finish the season tied in championship points, the following tie-breaker procedure will be applied in order:

1. Most Wins — The tie will be broken in favor of the driver with the highest number of race wins (P1 finishes) during the season.
2. Most Runner-Up Finishes — If drivers remain tied on wins, the position will be awarded to the driver with the most 2nd place finishes.
3. Successive Finishing Positions — If a tie persists, the count will continue down the order (3rd place finishes, 4th place finishes, 5th place finishes, and so on) until the tie is resolved.
4. Head-to-Head Final Round — In the extremely unlikely event that all finishing positions are identical across the tied drivers, the position will be awarded to the driver with the better result in the final race of the season.

4. DRIVER CLASSIFICATIONS

4.1. The classification

Starting on August 28 2026 and there will be one session per night for one week, all registered drivers are required to join one of the classification sessions and do between 10 to 15 clean laps before leaving the session.  The average lap time will be used to split all drivers in 2 driver classes. (PRO, PRO-AM)

Our goal is to make sure you will be racing in a competitive field. For this to work, do not try to game the classification. Do not put more time to prepare for the classification that you would put in to prepare for the championship races. Best practice is to go out on the track, focus on doing clean laps and be consistent. Do not modify the fuel capacity and use a single set of tires.

• Drivers are free to use any livery of their choosing, provided they have the proper authorization to use all included designs, logos, and branding.
• Simu Nation and its broadcasting partners reserve the right to prohibit any livery deemed inappropriate, offensive, or otherwise incompatible with the league's professional standards.
• If a complaint is raised regarding the use of a specific logo, brand, or design element, the driver may be required to provide proof of authorization. Failure to provide such proof may result in the livery being prohibited from further use in league events.
• Liveries containing political messaging, hate symbols, explicit content are not permitted.

7.1 Mandatory Sponsor Decals

Sponsors make Simu Nation possible. By displaying official sponsor decals and maintaining professional livery standards, drivers directly contribute to the league's growth and its ability to deliver premium events, prizes, and broadcast quality. Every livery on the grid is part of the league's visual identity and commercial value.

• Simu Nation will provide an official Sponsor Decals Template for each car, available in two variants corresponding to the driver classes: Pro, Pro-Am. These templates contain the league's sponsor branding and may not be altered, modified, resized, repositioned, or recolored in any way.
• The use of the appropriate sponsor decals template for your assigned class and car is mandatory for all league events.
• Drivers who require assistance applying the sponsor decals to their livery may contact any PitCrew (Discord Role) member through the official Discord server. Support is available to all drivers regardless of skill level with livery editing software.
• Drivers who fail to display the required sponsor decals during a league event will not score championship points for that race, out of respect for the league's sponsors and the commitments made to them.

8. Broadcasting and SDK

8.1 SDK Driver App

1. Simu Nation broadcasts utilize the SDK Driver App to display detailed driver information during race coverage.
2. The Driver Information app is a client application connected to the SDK Gaming driver database. Every driver is encouraged to use this software to upload and maintain more detailed personal information than what is available through LMU alone — including profile photo, nationality, team, sponsor logos, and biographical details.
3. The application download link can be found in the #broadcast-info channel of the Simu Nation Discord server.

8.2 Running Driver Information

1. Once the download is complete, run the Driver Information executable. If Windows displays a SmartScreen warning indicating that the application may pose a threat to your system, click More info followed by Run anyway. The executable is safe to run.
2. On first launch, drivers are required to complete their profile to ensure their information is properly displayed during broadcasts.

8.3 Documentation and Support

1. For complete instructions on how to install, configure, and use the SDK Driver App, please visit the official documentation: https://www.sdk-gaming.co.uk/free-app-driver-information/
