Qualifying is three sets of three racers, with each team getting two sessions in order to allow both pilots to set a time. After qualifying, the teams are split into three groups of 3, racing against each other in 6 semi-final races. The top team in each group automatically goes to the final, while the second-place finishers battle in a Playoff race for the last spot. The third-place finishers race in an Eliminator race, with the last-place finisher placing 9th for the event. The bottom two teams in the Playoff, and the top two teams in the Eliminator then compete in the Place Race, for positions 5 through 9. The top four teams compete in the Final, which consists of the combined results of Super Final 1 and Super Final 2.^[3]
