So, how does it work!?
A hotlap qualification process will be used to identify the top 60 fastest drivers registered to take part in the competition. Those top 60 drivers will be invited to take part in a three split Qualification Quarter-Final event race at the Monza Grand Prix Circuit driving the McLaren Senna GTR car. Each race will last for 20 minutes without a requirement to perform a pit stop, and the top 10 finishers from each split will move forward into a combined 30 car Qualification Semi-Final 30 minute race at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit, again driving the McLaren Senna GTR. The top seven finishers of the Spa Semi-Final race will automatically qualify for the Finals Day races on September 10th 2022. Finalists have to attend and race in Maastricht at the SIM EXPO.
Last year’s champion Erhan Jajovski will be our last finalist and will try to defend his title.
Each Qualification Quarter-Final split will be made up of 20 drivers from the hotlap qualification phase. The configuration of each split participants will be communicated during the invitation phase at the close of the hotlap competition. Sim Formula Europe and Studio 397 reserve the right to promote drivers who failed to make the top 60 times into the Quarter-Final races, should qualified drivers be unable to commit to the Quarter-Final event. Should this be necessary, the next fastest driver from position 61 down will be invited to participate, until such a time as the three splits are full. Should drivers from either split one or two be unable to attend, the next driver down will be promoted up 1 place in the ranking.
The minimum age of participation is 18 years.

Rules
Alongside our code of conduct, just some hotlap/time trial rules, we will be reviewing all laps that qualify in the top-60 and performing spot-checks, those that do not observe correct driving may have their lap removed or will be disqualified (DQ)
- Observe the track limits at all times, if we observe track cutting that is unrealistic with all wheels in an off-track position the lap will be invalidated
- Do not use off-tracks prior to the lap starting to gain speed
- Do not use external software to modify performance
- Respect your competitors
Good Luck!
