10 Races

Across the season, each driver will race every class (Gr1, Gr2, Gr3, Gr4) twice. R1–R4 is one full rotation. R5 is the first "all-classes" race, assigned by standings. R6–R9 is another rotation. R10 is the second "all-classes" race, and your team is again in the opposite pairing from R5: if your team raced Gr1–Gr2 at R5, you'll race Gr3–Gr4 at R10.

How It Works

Each team has 2 drivers. Each race runs one class pairing — either Gr1–Gr2 or Gr3–Gr4. Both teammates race every week, one in each class within that pairing: in a Gr1–Gr2 race, one drives Gr1 and the other drives Gr2. Teams decide internally who takes which class.

"Teams change driver class" markers in the schedule indicate the points where teammates swap roles within the pairing, so each driver covers all four classes by end of R4 and again by end of R9.

R5 — Class Assignment

Based on season standings after R4. Alternating down the standings:

Your team picks internally which teammate drives which class.

P4Gr3–Gr4
P5Gr1–Gr2
P6Gr3–Gr4

R10 works like R5, but your team is in the opposite class from R5.

Your team picks internally which teammate drives which class.

Season Logistics

Registration & Newbies

First come, first served. If we hit 32 racers, we'll open a second lobby — let Barry know if you're willing to host.

Missing a Race / Subs

Life happens. If you'll miss a race, message Barry ASAP. Replacement drivers and absences are handled case-by-case so your team isn't penalized.

Team Names

DM Barry your team name for the Hairpin Racing app by [DATE TBD]. Heads up: the app may have character/format limits, so keep it short and clean — Barry will let you know if it won't fit.

Start Date

Season 4 starts 2–3 weeks after Season 3 wraps (2 races left in S3, possibly a 1-week break). Exact date TBA.
