The 356 Cup Rules 1.0

Rules & Regulations

1. Race Format

  • Each round is a 4-minute endurance race.

  • The objective is to see how many laps each driver can complete in the allotted time.

  • Races are mainly run between Shane and Tiara in their nearly identical Golden Wolf Racing Porsche 356 C slot cars, but anyone gifted one of Shane’s creations is eligible to compete in the series.

2. Cars & Equipment

  • All drivers will compete in Golden Wolf Racing Porsche 356 C slot cars.

  • Cars are nearly identical to ensure fair competition.

  • Standard maintenance and setup checks may be performed prior to each round.

3. Driver Regulations

  • Each driver (Shane and Tiara) must complete the entire 4-minute race without substitution.

  • No external assistance may be provided during the race.

  • Focus, consistency, and precision are the keys to success.

4. Pit Lane & Off-Track Rule

  • If a car goes off track, it must be re-entered into the race through the pit lane.

  • The lap during which the off-track occurred will not be counted.

  • Marshals (self or agreed third party) must ensure fair pit re-entry.

5. Points & Scoring

  • Unlike the main Gatsby Cup, the 356 Cup is scored purely by laps completed.

  • At the end of each 4-minute race:

    • The driver with the highest number of completed laps is declared the winner.

    • Ties are broken by the driver who achieved their final lap first (time-based).

6. Driver Morals & Sportsmanship

  • As in The Gatsby Cup, the spirit of competition comes first:

    1. Respect the Race – No intentional off-tracks, blocking, or manipulation of re-entry.

    2. Respect Each Other – Friendly rivalry, but always fair play.

    3. Integrity Matters – Both drivers are responsible for clean driving and self-policing when needed.

7. Championship Format

  • The 356 Cup is a support series alongside The Gatsby Cup.

  • Multiple rounds will be held across the Gatsby Cup Season, with a running tally of laps and wins between Shane and Tiara.

  • An overall 356 Cup Champion will be declared based on race wins, if Shane and Tiara are tied a winner will be declared by who ever completed the most laps between them.
