Format

Points structure

Per-race points, scaled by race distance/status. Winner's points differ by race; each scale runs positions 1-32. AVESCO assigned a scale to each individual race in the printed Schedule D2 (see scales).

Qualifying

Timed qualifying sessions; a qualifying time cut-off (percentage of fastest) must be met (D 5.1.1). A PreQualifying session runs when entries exceed track capacity, exempting the top 25 cars from the previous meeting (D 5.3). Supplementary Regs may split qualifying into 'Top 50%'/'Lower 50%' sections (D 5.4). No Top Ten Shootout defined in Division D. At Endurance Rounds each driver qualifies only one car and must set his own qualifying time (D 5.5).

Sprint / race format

Standing starts (D 7.1). 2-3 races per round; race distances/durations set per event (Schedule D2 shows 20 min, 25 lap, 100-250 km, 300 km feature). In-race refuelling prohibited unless authorised by Supplementary Regs (D 11.1.3 / D 9); Compulsory Pit Stops (CPS) only when prescribed by Supp Regs, delineated by a lap 'window' (D 11.1.2). One driver per car (D 7.4).
