Eastern Division Series Details:

There are 5 tracks for the 3 week series. You will race 2 tracks each Saturday, 13 laps each, with 2 mandatory pit stops in each race. The 3rd Saturday will be the Divisional Championship, a 25 lap battle reserved for the top 8 points scorers in the Eastern Division.

After the 3 week series is over, it's on to week 4! The top 4 points scorers from the Eastern Division will meet the top 4 points scorers from the Central Division in the Nationals, a 25 lap battle to determine the Grand Am Rolex National Champion.

Once a Division's series has started, drivers are locked into that division for the duration of the series. Drivers are not permitted to race in multiple Grand Am Rolex Divisions.

Drivers may only pick 1 car for the series, you may use any paint livery you choose, and there is no car number required.

Cars may be tuned, but the tune that comes with the build is very good.

No qualifying, standing start, any assists, collisions on, cosmetic damage.
