5.2 WMRC does not guarantee the possibility to run on all circuits indicated in 5.1 and 5.2. On some of those WMRC Best Lap Championship circuits, there might be no track days.6.1 WMRC determines for each of the circuits indicated in 5.1 and 5.2 a „Superlap Time“ for the WMRC Best Lap Motorcycle Championship and a „Superlap Time“ for the Best Lap Car Championship. Those Superlap Times are the Circuit Record Laps achieved in the official Motorcycle and Car World Championships. The Superlap Time is the time, WMRC Best Lap Championship Participants have to measure their ridden times with. The Superlap Time therefore is the „target lap time“ for WMRC Best Lap Championship Participants.
6.2 In case on some circuits have not taken place any recent Motorcycle and Car World Championships (MotoGP/F1), the Superlap Time is calculated by circuit lap records of secondary Championships (e.g. WSBK/DTM) substracting a Handicap. In this way, those lap record times of the secondary Championships are in line with the World Championships times. For example, on a motorcycle track, where is no MotoGP, but only a WSBK lap record, the WSBK lap record will have a current handicap of -2.5%. However on a track, where is no MotoGP neither a WSBK but a National SBK lap record, this National SBK lap record will have a handicap of -3.0%. Same for cars: On tracks with no F1, but DTM lap records, there will be a handicap of -27%. Those handicaps will be substracted in order to meet an all tracks MotoGP and F1 lap record time levels.
6.3 Superlap times are listed on www.worldmotorracingclub.com. Superlap times as well as handicaps are continuously calculated based on the most recent lap records and comparisons between the various Championships and might change during the year.
6.4 WMRC does not guarantee the correctness and most recent updates of the record laps.
7.1 The Best Lap time is the record lap of each WMRC Best Lap Championship Participant.
7.2 WMRC Best Lap Championship Participants can run and register their Best Lap times as often as they want and on all circuits indicated in 5.1 and 5.2.
7.3 All Best Lap Championship Times are registered and continously updated on a Storyboard available on www.worldmotorracingclub.com.
WMRC will establish different vehicle categories.

8.3 The results listings are established according to the vehicle categories indicated in 8.1 and 8.2. Further listings will regard age categories and gender.
8.4 Times taken by the GPS and vehicle indicated will be cross-checked. WMRC relies on the correctness of the information indicated by the WMRC Best Lap Championship Participants. In case WMRC consider a certain time made with a certain vehicle as unrealistic, WMRC Best Lap Championship Participants may be revoked and their participation may be cancelled at any time.
9.1 In order to compare the performance of all WMRC Championship Participants and on all participating circuits, WMRC will calculate the difference not in terms of minutes and seconds, but in terms of percentage.
9.2 The smaller the difference between the WMRC Best Lap Championship Time of a WMRC Best Lap Championship Participant and the Superlap Time, the higher the positioning in the classification. In the end of the racing year, the WMRC Best Lap Championship Winner will be whose WMRC Best Lap Championship Time is nearest to the Superlap Time (in %).
9.3 In the end of each racing season, WMRC Championships‘ best classified will receive awards and prizes. Prize info will be available on www.worldmotorracingclub.com
