The Rookie League : ApexGT3
The Rookie League is a special series, targeted for people new to SimRacing or with little online experience. We aim to provide friendly competition and learning at the same time.
The Drivers compete in two Divisions, according to their skill : "Div. A" for the more Advanced and "Div. B" for the Beginners.
The Rounds follow the same format : 2 consecutive Hotlaps to Qualify | 5 min. Warmup | 40 - 45 min. Race.
A mandatory pitstop is enforced via an accelerated Fuel consumption (x2). However, to enhance the strategy play, the drivers are free to change tyres or not.
The last Round is a special Endurance event of 60 min. with double points.
