Are all drivers registered by the team required to run all stages? Or can a pilot not be enrolled at a specific stage due to commitments?

My understanding is that each race is a stand alone event, with points awarded to a championship running alongside it. So there is no requirement/obligation to do the whole season.

All drivers registeted for the car MUST do 1 stint minimum, unless circumstances arise out of that drivers control. They also cannot drive another entry at the same event.

So if a driver is racing another league at the time of the 8pm stint then they may run that league, the other drivers must run in thier place.

As I couldn't remember, and couldn't find it listed in the rules or in the Driver's Handbook, I asked for clarification on this in the Marshal's chat and am now wiser but less pleased with what is occurring.

I had got it in to my head that the starting grid of, lets say Stint 7, was the finishing order of Stint 5. Turns out I was being dumb and it's in order of the cumulative distance through all 5 stints of the cars in that lobby.

Would it be possible to have a review of this because, IMO, it seems to unnecessarily punish those who have an early lag out.

If a car is able to make good progress within a stint after suffering a lag out, they deserve to start from that position in 2 stints time rather than what is more likely to be the final spot in that class for each subsequent stint after their lag out. It would be like getting a Pit Lane speed violation penalty and having to drop to the back of the line behind the safety car for every stint.

I understand that in an endurance race there is the ebb and flow of drivers pace, but this seems to be like asking a team to run the remainder of their marathon completely uphill after a lag out rather than on the flat like the rest of the teams.

This is not true, a minimum of 3 drivers must run at least 1 stint. Any driver that sets a qualifying time must also do at least 1 stint.

Hello guys ... Can we still enroll some drivers for the rest of the Tora Endurance Championship? ... we couldn't participate in the 24 Hours of Daytona

You can, yes. Obviously, you lose out on any points from the first round, but you can earn points for each round you do going forward.

Thanks MAKO... is there a race calendar yet? Where can I find it?
