Each group will have their own free practice and qualifying session.
There will be three races, each race consisting of combination of two groups (A v B, B v C, C v A). Races will be 20 minutes + 1 lap. Grid for each race will be set based on qualifying, with the group having the fastest qualifier taking odd-numbered places, and the other group taking the even-numbered places.
