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:
“Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
