The special touch this year comes with the introduction of the full reversed grid for race two.

Pre-Qualification, Promotion, Relegation
Every sim racer likes to compete against opponents that have the same skill level RDTCC is always suitable for drivers of all levels so we can guarantee you the closest possible racing with drivers that match your skills.
.
There isn't a simple way to determine the driving level of an individual racer. The easiest way for us is to organize a massive pre-qualification.
The 30 fastest drivers will be placed in the first division. The drivers that finish 31 - 60 are placed in the second division. The outcome of the pre-qualification will determine the starting groups for the first race day at Cascavel. The rest of the drivers will be placed on the reserve list in finishing order.
Note: this years edition will feature a special super pole pre-qualification. You only get one shot to qualify yourself by completing an outlap, hotlap and an inlap back into the pit area.
The start grid of each event will be determined on the overall standings of the league. The first 30 drivers in the overall standings will automatically be placed in division 1 for the next race. Drivers that have the positions 31-60 will start in division 2.
Absence
This is one of the most important parts of the league briefing you need to understand! When you are qualified to race in RDTCC S9 we expect you to be present during all the races. This commitment shows respect to the league, your fellow drivers and the organization.
If you can't make it to the next race please
report your absence in the dedicated thread, so we can inform a reserve driver to take over your slot.
Once you fail to show up, whether that's with a valid reason or not, you will be placed on the bottom of the reserve list for the next race and the first reserves will take over the vacant position.
