Fastest Lap: +1 Bonus Point.

Safe Race Metric: Up to +20 Bonus Points based on your iRacing incident count (e.g., 0X = 20 points. 2X = 16 points. 4X = 12 Points. 6X = 8 Points. 8X = 4 Points. 10+ incidents = 0 pts).

Social Media Metric: +1 Point per day for posting verified content (clips, screenshots, write-ups) on the Team53 Facebook page and tagging us and our sponsors.

The championship is scored on a cumulative basis. However, to account for missed races or mechanical DNFs, each driver’s two lowest-scoring race weekends will be dropped from their final championship total. Your best 6 results out of 8 will determine the champion.
