Practice
Teams test settings, study tire behavior, and prepare for qualifying and the race. A practice time is not a race result.
Qualifying
Drivers compete for starting positions. Formats vary by championship and event, including special sprint schedules.
Race day
The grid, start, pit stops, safety interventions, and finish bring the weekend together. Check the championship’s current rules for points and penalties.
