iRating Cap & Fair Competition

We are proud to feature the first-ever multi-race sim tournament series with iRating caps. This structure promotes fair competition at every skill level, ensuring drivers compete against others of similar ability while still providing a pathway to advance.

  • Race #1 Cap: Drivers must have never exceeded an iRating of 1850 in their iRacing career.
  • Race #2 Cap: Drivers must have never exceeded an iRating of 2500 in their iRacing career.
  • Main Event (Race #3): No iRating cap.
  • License Used: All caps are based on the iRacing Sports Car License iRating.
  • Important: We score using each driver’s peak career iRating.

Additional Rules

  • Multiple Accounts: Drivers with multiple accounts must use the account with their highest Sports Car License iRating. If we discover another account belonging to you with a higher iRating, you will be disqualified from that tournament with no refund.
  • Exceeding iRating Caps: If you sign up for a race where your iRating exceeds the capped amount, you will be disqualified with no refund. Each driver is responsible for knowing their peak iRating and how to look it up.
