The raceday format consists of 2 days: Saturday and Sunday. On saturday there will be free testing and the qualification.
On sunday there will be 2 races, 1 with reverse grid, of each 1 hour.
The Regulations will be very simple to enchange the contest. And each raceweekend there is the prize money of 1 million Euro to win !
Next to the track, there will be also much entertainment for kids and adults.
Adding an extra, fun dimension to each race weekend, Superleague Formula will also include a programme of off-track entertainment, with concerts and festival activities for all ages to add extra value to the admission ticket.
Inspired by Nascar, our ‘open-to-all’ philosophy will also mean that fans get access to the open paddock, to the rear of the garages (which will be open for viewing) and to meet their football and racing heroes.
Our hospitality offer will avoid elitism, creating a relaxed and informal atmosphere for guests, and both VIPs and fans will be able to take part in our three-seater car programme, watch celebrity races, and enjoy a fantastic family day out, with activities for both men and women alike…
Good, new championship? or Just a Prestige project? Time will tell
