FURTHER
INFORMATION

  • Every round will incorporate two laps over a total distance of approximately 14 kilometres including the timed ‘Continental Traction Challenge’ sector. In a motorsport world-first, teams will field one male and one female driver in each race, promoting gender equality and a level playing field amongst competitors.

    The teams will determine which driver goes first to best suit their strategy and driver order selections are made confidentially, with competitors kept in the dark as to other teams’ choices until the last possible moment. Contests between males and females will therefore be ensured.    Both drivers will complete one lap behind the wheel of the ODYSSEY 21 electric SUV, with a driver changeover, the ‘Switch’, included after the first lap.

    An ‘ENOWA Hyperdrive’ boost will also be available to each driver on each lap of the race. A

    If any teams are tied in the qualifying standings their positioning will be determined by their time in the Continental Traction Challenge - the team with the quicker run through the allocated sector receiving the higher overall position in qualifying

    As previously stated, the team finishing third in Semi-Final 1 or Semi-Final 2 that sets the faster Continental Traction Challenge time shall be deemed to be the 6th place finisher.
