Each car is powered by a 165-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine developed by Autotecnica.

The top eight drivers of Race 1 will then be reversed to form the grid for the second race, which will last 20 minutes compared to the 30-minute length for the other two contests. The points system for the two main races will be exactly the same as Formula One, with the top 10 drivers awarded points in the following order: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.
