- The team manager is responsible for registering the drivers and the cars of their team with the TTS, and must notify the TTS when changes occur.
- The team manager can be one of the drivers in the team.
- A team that is taking part in both class A and class B is guaranteed a third slot in the class of their choice.
- If a team wants to apply for extra slots in a certain race they must notify the TTS no later than one week ahead of the race date.
- A team must not use all their guaranteed slots. When the team is registered, they will let the TTS know if they will use all of their guaranteed slots or not. Changes may occur during the course of a season and should be reported to the TTS as soon as possible.
Section 3: Events
§7. Races will have a distance of 100 kms. The number of laps for each track will be adjusted so that the total length is 100 kms + what remains of the last lap.
- Exception: The last race of the season is a 25 lap endurance around Nürburgring (24 hours layout).
§9. Each race will have a qualification session, which opens 1 hour before race start and closes when race is started. Qualification is done in the free run mode, and the time you set there will give your position in the starting grid.
§10. The first lap of a race is a formation lap behind the pace car (yellow Mercedes-Benz C63). Drivers must keep a safe distance to each other during the formation and lap and can not overtake each other. The start of the actual race is when the pace car enters the pit lane.
§11. Each race will have a race marshal that is watching the race live.
- The race marshal can give penalties for violations of the rules during the race (corner cutting, incidents, etc)
- The race marshal can deduct points after the race if an incident is spotted on the replay.
- Teams can report incidents to the race marshal after the race for investigation.
- The race marshal can order the pace car to enter the track, if the safety of the race deems it necessary. During pace car, no overtaking is allowed.
Section 4: Fair play
§13. The track boundaries are marked by the white lines on each side of the track. A car must have at least two wheels inside the lines to be on the track.
§14. A car that leaves the track boundaries may be penalised if:
- Time is gained by the maneuver, or
- An overtake is being made when leaving track boundaries, or
- The maneuver occurs frequently during the race, regardless if time or positions are gained or not
- The maneuver is found to be unfair in other aspects (as judged by the race marshal)
- The car is damaged and needs to return to the pit at lower speed
- The driver needs to pull over, or go slower for other reasons (like letting another car pass)
§17. Contact that causes incidents will be examined closely and may result in severe penalties if the contact is found to be caused:
- Deliberately
- From negligence (including entering a corner in too high speed, failure to take other cars into account when making maneuvers, etc.)

§20. Points may be deducted as a penalty for incidents that occured during a race.
§21. If two drivers or teams share the same amount of points at the end of the season, the one with the most victories will be higher ranked.
- If none of the teams/drivers have any victories, the amounts of 2nd places will be counted, then 3rds, then 4ths etc until the rank can be established.
§22. Points in the driver's championship are bound to the driver and cannot be transferred to another person if the driver leaves the series mid season. The points collected for the team remains in the team though.
