A 10-minute qualifying session format will be used. Qualifying order will be determined by using each driver’s ‘3-fastest consecutive lap average’.

Drivers do not need to be on track for the entire 10-minute session.

Setup changes are allowed during the qualifying session, tire compound changes are legal, refreshing tire sauce, spring changes, etc.

If a driver is happy with their lap times within the first few minutes, they are allowed to pull off the track and head back to the pits.

Drivers are not allowed to change cars during qualifying. They must choose one car and use it for the entire qualifying session (only ‘setup’ changes are allowed).

10-minute sessions should allow every driver to have an equal opportunity to put in 3 consecutive fast laps.

Drivers will participate in QTY: 3 - 12-minute Main Events. Each will be scored separately and added up for a final total at the end of the day. 

Pit Stops:

There are 2 mandatory pit stops in each Main Event. A driver can pull in for your pit any time after completing Lap 1. Pit stops must be completed by the end of the race.

Pit Lane Procedure:

After entering the designated pit lane, a sticker will be placed on the front of the vehicle (location at the pit bosses discretion). It is up to the driver to make sure he safely re-enters the race. Failure to complete both pit stops during a race will accrue a 10-lap penalty (per pit) off the results of that race. 

New for 2025:

Driver's must stop within the designated pit box! It has been unsafe for cars to slam into barriers, hitting people, and/or revving their motors while pit marshals are working on the vehicle. If a driver comes into pit lane and is not able to stop within the pit box, they will not receive a pit sticker and will need to try again. 

UF1 Championship Points uses a 50 – 1 points system in 1 point increments. For example:

1st – 50pts
2nd – 49pts
3rd – 48pts
4th – 47pts
5th – 46pts
etc.

Points are allocated to all the racers after each full race Main has concluded. It is possible for a Group B or C driver to win the Round if his or her overall race time is faster than the racers in Group A. Drivers not using the control tire will not be eligible for UF1 Championship Points.

Fastest Lap Point:
The driver with the fastest single lap for each race day will receive +5 additional UF1 Championship Points (Qualifying laps do not count).

Concours Points:
UF1 will hold a concours at the beginning of each round. Concours is optional and racers do not have to participate. Winner of each round will be selected by the race announcer. The winner will receive +5 additional UF1 Championship Points.

Bonus Points:

Please note that bonus points are not added to your daily points total. 

Bonus points are added to your overall championship total. 

Winner of concourse must race with the body to receive an extra point. 

Extra point will not be added if the body is not raced.

Tie Breaker:
Should 2 or more drivers tie in points at the end of an event, the tie breaker will be determined using the driver's fastest overall time of the day.

• The Constructor's Championship is only open to the F1 class.

• A F1 team must consist of 2 racers.

• The team must have a unique 'Team Name'.

  • the team name does not need to be a real F1 team.

  • Past examples: Exotek Audi, R1 Wurks, Team TRD, Shake and Bake.

• Both racers must have a matching livery for their cars.

• Both racers must race with their matching livery.

• Drivers do not need to have matching chassis, batteries, esc's, motor's, etc.

• If a driver is not able to attend a round, a team substitute driver is legal.

  • Substitute driver must use the team livery on the day of the race. 

  • UF1 must be informed of the substitute driver prior to the race starting. [so we can keep track of scoring and confirm the livery is being used]

All drivers in each race score points towards both the driver’s and the constructor’s World Championships, according to the following scale:

1st – 50pts
2nd – 49pts
3rd – 48pts
4th – 47pts
5th – 46pts
etc.

For example, if in a given race, Lotus Team Driver 1 finishes second and Lotus teammate finishes fifth, then both drivers score 49 and 46 points respectively towards the Driver’s Championship, while Team Lotus score 95 points (49 plus 46) towards the Constructor’s Championship. 

The Driver’s and Constructor’s Championship Titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the UF1 season. In the case of a tie for a Championship place then the driver or constructor with the higher number of superior race results will be awarded the position. The throw-out rule does not affect the Constructor’s Championship points; all points for the season will be used.

Racers will be resorted within their designated main event. If a racer breaks their car in the fastest heat and finishes last, they will start the next main at the back of their original qualifying group. 

UF1 throwout system is based on the number of races in each Season. It is encouraged to allow driver’s a chance to win the overall should they have a bad race, family emergency, etc. Number of throwouts will be announced at the beginning of each Season. 

2025 throw-outs will be the racers 3 worst main event results.
