About The Fab Four Competition


The Fab Four competition begins with a preliminary qualification period that runs April to June. Each driver will compete in their respective series with results calculated based on their average feature finishing position. These results will determine the top four drivers that will be invited to participate in The Fab Four Finals competition which will run from July to November. In order to be eligible for the competition, drivers must complete a minimum of 5 feature finishes over the course of the season.


The Fab Four competition also invites motorsport enthusiasts to support their favorite athletes through participation in The Fab Four voter sweepstakes.
