    • Pro-Am - for driving combinations featuring two FIA Platinum-, FIA Gold- or FIA Silver-rated drivers and one or two FIA Bronze-rated drivers.
    • Silver Cup - for driving combinations featuring only FIA Silver- and FIA Bronze-rated drivers
    • Bronze - for driving combinations featuring only FIA Bronze-rated drivers.
