Member must score championship points in the race session to qualify.
Only Race Sessions in Official Series Count
Sessions in Pro, Premier, and Rookie Series do NOT COUNT
Sessions in 13th week do NOT count

Definition of Participation

Need to score championship points for your race session, and complete at least 50% of the number of laps completed by the class winner in your class.
For odd number of laps will truncate. For example if the winner of a race/car class ran 17 laps you would need to complete only 8 laps versus 9 laps.
If everyone crashes out in a race it will still count as a race session for racing credit purposes. The 50% calculation will still be made to count anybody who completed 50% of the laps done by the leading car.
Series that span across multiple standard iRacing seasons do not count toward the race participation credit program. Examples include but are not limited to: NASCAR iRacing Series (fixed and open), NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series, iRacing Drivers World Championship Grand Prix Series.
