2.       The defending event champion will be guaranteed entry to the event he/she won. For example, the 2020 Super Gas winner at the Finals would be guaranteed entry into the 2021 Finals. Entry is not guaranteed to any other event or category.  Provisional entry is non-transferable and sportsman entry must be driven by the champion.  Applicable entry fee must be paid at the time of entry.
