Jamerson Team Racing Points Series
What is a Team Racing Series? The Jamerson Team Racing Points Series is an exciting new racing series that rewards the success of a team effort more than the results of the individual driver. The ability of a team to prepare and race together will determine the success of each team.
Why Team Racing? Team Racing is a great opportunity for new and veteran drivers to work together to achieve a Team Championship. Younger racers will have the opportunity to learn driving and car maintenance techniques. Veteran drivers can have the satisfaction of grooming younger drivers into better racers.
How does Team Racing work? The following is a set of rules to outline the regulations of Team Racing. Within the guidelines of these rules, teams will operate on and off the track towards the task of a championship. Good Luck!
