Calendar and results
[edit]The 2016 schedule consists in six rounds in the Benelux region, across Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Each round includes five races: a 60-minute-long qualifying race with a mandatory driver change, and four 20-minute-long sprint races. The starting grid for the qualifying race is established by a popular vote via Facebook, through the Making the Grid application. Race 1 uses the fastest lap of after the pit stop during the qualifying race to determine the starting grid. Race 3 uses the fastest lap of before the pit stop during qualifying race. Races 2 and 4 include a rolling start using the finishing order, respectively, of Race 1 and 3.[25] The order for the qualifying race was subsequently revised with an aggregate score from the fan voting and the fastest laps from the final 15 minutes from the 45-minute Free Practice session (Fast lap window) held before the qualifying race. In case of a tie in the aggregate score, the results from the fan voting will have bigger weight.[26] The calendar was announced on 17 November 2015.[27]
