A Championship Focused on Driver Development
Beyond podium results, the championship continues to emphasize its role as a teaching and learning academy, encouraging drivers to develop stronger racecraft, safer driving habits and greater consistency.
The league’s bonus point system plays a key role in that mission. Drivers earn bonus points by dedicating time to practice and competing in official races outside league events, helping build experience and improve performance over time.
As Season 7 demonstrated, the drivers who combine preparation, discipline and consistent execution are often the ones who ultimately rise to the top of the standings.
Looking forward
