Advanced penalties, appeals processes, and officiating systems are in place to maintain the integrity of the league and ensure fair competition for all.

We pride ourselves on the seamless execution of our multi-series structure, encompassing the AREA Cup Series, AREA Truck Series, and AREA Pro Series, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for drivers. Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of administrators, race controllers, and broadcasters work tirelessly to deliver a professional and immersive experience.
