1. Credits

• Each player starts with 5 credits in the bank at the beginning of the season.

• Each player receives 5 new credits at the start of each week leading up to a fixture.

• Unused credits may be carried over from week to week, unless otherwise specified.
  ​

4. Competition Format

  • 3rd = 2 pts

  • Any car that finishes = 1 pt

• All four cars must participate in at least one race.
