Four weekends of racing, 16 races in total make up the full Championship. With results from the best 3 weekends making up a driver’s championship standing.
This is the second round of races and drivers have the choice between a single-weekend package for $9,950 or a three-race weekend package for $28,495. The second round of races happens from October 18th to the 20th.
This weekend the class will be supported by the addition of a full parts store/trailer for the KTM fleet to provide manufacturer scale support and keep all cars in as new condition.
