Each region will have their own Regional Finals that will determine the 10 participants in the World Finals. The top ten from all three Regional Finals combined will be invited to race in the World Finals at CeBit in Germany in March of 2011. Total prize money in the Intel GP Series World Finals event is $23,000. Round One of the Intel GP Series will take place during Week 13 (July 27-August 2) and will feature the European Region. Round One will consist of 20 lap races beginning at 15 minutes past the hour, every hour, in Star Mazdas at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, with three drop days factored into the scoring. Details for Rounds Two and Three will be announced shortly. There are no license requirements and the Intel GP Series is open to all iRacers who own the Star Mazda.
