Sunday replicates the Saturday minus the timed qualification for gate pick. Riders on Sunday go to the gate in the heat races in order that they finished in the Final on Saturday.

Mini E and Auto E5 class

Riders in the will have 2 point-scoring races each day with the top eight scorers qualifying for the A Final on that day, and the next 8 to the B Final.

In case of a tie for qualification, the rider with the highest race finish goes through. If the riders both have the same highest race finish the rider who beat the other in the last qualifying race goes through. If this doesn’t decide the qualifier then the rider with the fastest lap time on the last qualifying race will go through. If for any reason the above cannot decide the qualifiers then a 2 lap race off will decide who qualifies through.

Riders score championship points as per the below on each day, with the overall winner being the rider who has scored the most championship points over both days. In the case of a tie the rider who finishes higher on Sunday will be awarded the higher position.

Ie Race points: 1st 10pts, 2nd 9pts, 3rd 8pts, 4th 7pts, 5th 6pts, 6th 5pts, 7th 4pts, 8th 3pts, 9th 2pts, 10th 1pt
