General information
The Gathering of Tweakers: Green Hell Team Challenge event is soon. This season, the Ford Mustang and Mazda MX-5 (new model) cars will fight to the finish for a 2 hours race. We compete in teams: every driver is part of a two man TEAM, and each team must consist of one Ford Mustang, and one Mazda MX-5.
The two cars will be in their own class and will also be gridded by class, but the only thing that matters at the end is your total team score: the sum of the points of all two teammates. There is no individual winner, only the team with the most amount of total points wins!

Team racing
The Team Racing aspect is unique to our Team Challenge events. Every driver is part of a two-man team, consisting of exactly one Ford Mustang, and one Mazda MX-5. Points are awarded to each driver separately based on their class finishing positions. The final team score is simply the sum of each driver’s points. The overall winner of the race is therefore meaningless, only the final position of your team is what counts!
Team mates
You can choose your own team mate if you wish. If you do not have a team mate you can just sign up on your own, and you will be grouped with other drivers semi-randomly by us (we will try to balance the teams a little bit in this case). If you create a team make sure that the drivers you add to your team agree with that decision, do not add drivers to your team without their knowledge!
In case too many people sign up with the same car we will not be able to make the teams. Therefore, your car choice (in case you sign up on your own) will only be a primary car choice, and you may be assigned the other car when the teams are made so that we can make the teams. First come, first serve will apply in this case.
Points
Points are awarded for class finishing positions of each driver separately. Final team position is decided by the sum of points of all 2 drivers. In case of a draw between teams, the team with the least amount of combined incidents wins. If there is still a draw in that case, the fastest laptime will decide the winner.
Points awarded simply start at 40 points for the class winner, and decrease by 1 point for every lower position then 5th: 40, 35, 30, 28, 27, 26, 25 …
During the race a live team timing will be available.
