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 Lap 1 and before the 8-minute mark. 

After the 8-minute mark, pit lane will closed. This means the last 4 minutes are pure racing and makes it easier for the announcer to call traffic for the lead cars.

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). The car will be held until the pit timer light goes out. It is up to the driver to make sure he safely re-enters the race (a stop-and-go penalty could be awarded for unsafe reentry). Failure to complete both pit stops during a race will accrue a 3-lap penalty (per pit) off the results of that race. 

UF1 Championship Points uses a 100 – 1 points system in 1 point increments. For example:

1st – 100pts
2nd – 99pts
3rd – 98pts
4th – 97pts
5th – 96pts
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 an additional UF1 Championship Point (Qualifying laps do not count).

Concours Point:
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 one additional UF1 Championship Point for their daily 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 your finishing position in Main 3.

(Only if Teams are active)
All drivers in each race score points towards both the driver’s and the constructor’s World Championships, according to the following scale:

1st – 100pts
2nd – 99pts
3rd – 98pts
4th – 97pts
5th – 96pts
etc.

For example, if in a given race, Lotus Team Driver 1 finishes second and Lotus teammate finishes fifth, then both drivers score 99 and 96 points respectively towards the Driver’s Championship, while Team Lotus score 195 points (99 plus 96) towards the Constructor’s Championship. TQ points do not apply 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 event and finishes last, they will start the next main event 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. 

2023 / 2024 throw-outs will be the racers 3 worst main event results.
