Calendar and results

The 2016 schedule consists in six rounds to take part in the Benelux region, across Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Each round includes five races: a 60-minute long endurance race, with mandatory pit stop, and four 20-minute long sprint races. The starting grid for the endurance race is established by a popular vote via Facebook, through the Making the Grid application; sprint race 1 uses the best lap of after pit during long race to determine the starting grid, race 3 uses the best lap of before pit during long race; races 2 and 4 include a rolling start using the finishing order, respectively, of race 1 and 3.[14] The official calendar was announced on 17 November 2015.[15]
