Details about the Contingency Program

What is the Contingency Program and who does it ?
The contingency program is a back-to-back trancaction between racers and manufacturer.
In the contingency program manufacturers reward teams that use their products when they are in the winners' circle (winner or runner-up). The program also serves to expose the manufacturers' brand names (and products, if applicable). The aim is also to attract new customers to the participating manufacturers by promoting the program actively. Teams are encouraged and advised to choose suppliers among companies included in the contingency program.

How does it work ?
Manufacturers are encouraged to select two of the FIA / UEM classes or more to work with the contingency program. Information about each individual class can be provided by Speedgroup on request.

What are the Contingency Rewards ?
The winners and runners-up at each event are rewarded by the contingency companies they have signed up for. In general that means $300 to the winner and $100 to the runner-up*.
