Zenith Racing Series fully believes in supporting the ingenuity and creativity of competitors. We have specific rules that prohibit aerodynamic elements that are modular on track (i.e DRS). We also strictly limit adjustable power tunes to maintain the fairness of our power to weight ruleset. All other modifications, so long as they meet our safety requirements, are allowed without a modifier or penalty. This includes the ability to add fixed aerodynamic elements, non-OEM dampers, airjacks, center lock wheels, non-OEM brakes, etc.
-
No. Zenith Racing Series will not have a BoP model. Rather, we believe that strict enforcement of driver and technical standards, combined with our straightforward ruleset, will provide an equal opportunity for all competitors to succeed.
-
We maintain similar safety and pit lane standards as what you would experience in most series. Teams are required to maintain PPE for all pit lane crew as stated in the Team Regulations. Additionally, vehicles will be required to have the following items: Functional brake lights, headlights, rain light, and forward-facing recording camera. Technology required per car is: MyLaps RaceLink Club, Al Kamel Driver ID, and a direct power TR2 transponder. The T-Dash XL unit is optional (but advantageous!). Limited rentals from Zenith Racing Series may be available. Please visit our competitor portal for purchasing and installation information.
-
We allow competitors to run any tire of their choice as well as any visible fuel of their choice (no methanol or similar). We have incorporated rules that penalize tire changes to equalize the field. We are excited to see how competitors create unique and diverse strategies within their desired budgets and believe our ruleset will allow for an equal playing field for all competitors.
-
We have a minimum age requirement of 14 years old, pending licensing review. All drivers must submit their existing racing resume with relevant experience and be approved by USAC. Drivers may also be interviewed by series representatives to gauge competency and alignment of our series goals. We believe that all drivers, with the right attitude, training, goals, and support can be strong competitors and valuable community members. However, we do have provisions for new drivers that restrict their ability to start races and new drivers will also be placed on immediate probation for review by Zenith Racing stewards if they violate safety or community guidelines.
-
We are very excited to partner with Al Kamel Systems for our series timing and scoring. Al Kamel Systems will have professional on-site staff supporting and maintaining the accuracy of our data. This includes features such as Driver ID, live vehicle GPS tracking with accelerometers, pit lane timing loops, sector times, and driver stint analysis. These enhanced features allow us to monitor, track, and enforce our strict driver and vehicle standards. These systems have been proven effective and accurate in many top series (such as IMSA and Porsche Sprint Challenge), and we are excited to lean on this crucial data to maintain the fairness of effectiveness of our series.
-
Zenith Racing Series is a strict, no-contact series with an emphasis on community feel and inclusion among all classes. We understand that competing on track with 50+ other competitors for over 20 hours on any given weekend may result in incidents. We also fully understand that fierce competition pushes the boundaries of any ruleset or guideline. To mitigate the escalation of these issues, we set very clear and strict penalties for non-compliance of our rules and guidelines. While warnings may be given, nearly our entire penalty structure begins with a one lap penalty and escalates to probation or disqualification for repeat offenders. Additionally, we fully believe that the only way to enjoy the competition is by trusting the competition. Any competitor or driver that deliberately operates outside of our rules (through means of cheating or retaliation), will be ejected and suspended. We want to build a community of racers that appreciate the battle as much as the result.
-
Zenith utilizes the Code-60 system at all events to neutralize the field for on-track incident intervention. We believe this creates the most fair, consistent, and safe standards for all parties involved. If the race requires a red flag, the safety car will be dispatched ahead of the overall leader. In most situations, we will accommodate class split or wave-by opportunities at resumption.
-
While we fully support incorporating spectators at our future events, we are investing primarily in the competitor experience for 2026. We want to focus our resources on creating seamless and fun events for the competitor and teams. Looking ahead to 2027, select events may be open to the public.
-
The Zenith Team is made up of professionals immersed in various aspects of racing: Past and present drivers, event administration, creative, and everything in-between. We work hard to provide a great event framework; from pre-event communication and resources, load in and paddock flow, an experienced technical team, and top-tier hospitality. In addition, our partnership with USAC (United States Auto Club) extends well beyond its licensing and registration. USAC will be on site with over 20 staff members – from pit lane officials, to race control, to registration - to ensure events run smoothly and efficiently with high levels of professionalism and experience. Between the Zenith and USAC teams, we are confident that all competitors will feel the professional, fun, and welcoming community that we are building.

Fans watching at home should have full clarity to the hard work and passion that is bringing you to the track. We will have two announcers dedicated to the series that will focus on supporting the drivers and teams putting on a great show. Through our elevated timing and scoring data, the LIVE broadcast will include features about drivers as they are in the car, will stay up to date on strategy and pitstops, and will also have access to in-car live views. We will have several professional camera operators located around the track to capture all the intense battles - all of which will be buttoned up and broadcasted in a professional package through FloRacing and YouTube. We aim to tell the story that your drivers and team work so hard for.
-
We are constantly evolving and elevating our hospitality and vendor partnerships. We currently provide a fully stocked hospitality suite open to all drivers, teams & crew, and their special guests; a Social event each race weekend to connect with fellow teams and competitors; the team-favorite Crew Cart, local food trucks*, and equipment vendors such as tire mounting/balancing service and crew/vehicle equipment*. We want your off-track experience to be complimentary to your on-track experience.
*When available, depending on track allowance. -
