Race Weekend
For each race meeting there is 90 minutes of free practice, one hour of official qualifying, with the race distance being approximately 175 kilometres (109 mi). This increased to 2 x 40 minute races in 2011.
All drivers have their cars prepared and entered centrally by MSV. Drivers work with a single mechanic throughout the season, and a rotating group of engineers. This means that a driver's finances have no effect on performance and no one can gain an unfair advantage as every car is operated by the same team.

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or weekend:
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Weekend planning is a prime time to apply the Deathbed Priority Test: On your deathbed, will you wish you’d spent more prime weekend hours grocery shopping or walking in the woods with your kids?”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
