79 mostly exhausted, mostly smiling, drivers are back home after the Summer Tour for a well-earned, but brief rest before the start of Series 14. Fun multi-class racing at its finest. All on track together, four classes of drivers, competing in three different cars, circled the globe competing in 15 races at 15 different tracks.
Championships
There were four championships to compete in Car Class, Driver Class, Zone Group, and Hat Trick. Only the best 5 finishes in each car class were counted towards the championships. The Hat Trick championship used the 3 best finishes in each car type. That provided a lot of flexibility during the busy summer months, allowing participants to run at their convenience.
