TEAMS 3.6.1. Each team of a car eligible in Championship and Coupe de France GT will be made up of two drivers. 3.6.2. Interchanges and changes of drivers The move of a driver from the Championship to Coupe de France GT or vice versa, as well as the change of category is authorized only once during the season.

The FFSA draws up at the beginning of the year the list of the circuit seeded drivers (article 3.3 of Règlement Standard des Circuits ).

Unless a precise, detailed justification with figures is transmitted to the members of the Permanent Council, enabling them to judge that the following decision is not applicable in this case, any driver who will enroll for the first time in Championship de France GT will be classified as a "B" seeded driver for the two first races in which he will take part and must therefore observe the handicap penalty of 10 seconds linked to this classification. After these two first races in which this driver will have taken part, the Permanent Council, after having analyzed the whole of his times, will decide whether or not the "B" seeded classification of this driver will be maintained, and may, should the case happen, extend the observation period for several additional races. If the FFSA or the Permanent Council observes that this justification turns out to be wrong or erroneous, the driver concerned will receive automatically the classification as a “B” seeded driver for the whole season. This decision cannot be subject to appeal or recourse in any case. The allocation of the classification as a "B" seeded driver will be allocated event by event for the Championship as well as for the French GT Cup. For the teams of French GT Championship made up of an "A" seeded driver and a "B" seeded driver or of two "B" seeded drivers, the pit stop-neutralization time during the change of drivers will be increased by 10 seconds.

French GT Championship and Cup Sporting Regulations 2013

2.7.4 Allocation of classifications The drivers of this list are designated "A" drivers or "B" drivers in these regulations. A team of Championship de France GT cannot be made up of two "A" drivers. No seeded driver may be a member of a team entering in Coupe de France GT. As soon as the end of the first event, the FFSA and the Permanent Council may classify as a "B" or "A" seeded driver any driver whose performance would be considered too high when compared with performance of the best "A" seeded drivers in the same race. The elements taken into account for this new classification will be :  gap inferior to 1.5 second for the drivers of Championship de Franceand2.5 seconds for the drivers of Coupe de France between the average of their ten best times achieved on a race and the average of similar performance achieved by the 5 fastest "A" seeded drivers during the same raceor by an "A" seeded driver on the same type of car during the same race. The decision of the Permanent Council may also be based on the systematic establishing of an average on the two races of a same meeting. If events are recorded during a race (e.g; change of weather, withdrawal, etc), the Permanent Council reserves the right to judge which element(s) of calculation will be selected and may apply any other form of calculation to determine this classification as a "B" seeded driver.

For the teams of French GT Cup of which one of the drivers is declared "B" seeded driver by the FFSA and the GT Permanent Council, the pit stop-neutralization time during the change of drivers will be increased by 10 seconds. Should two drivers of a same team of French GT Cup be declared "B" seeded drivers by the FFSA and the GT Permanent Council, the pit stop-neutralization time during the change of drivers will be increased by 20 seconds.

It is determined according to the following scale : This compensation time is added to the minimum pit stop duration stop set for the following event in the Championship or in Coupe de France GT. The compensation time will appear on a specific list which will be drawn by the FFSA officials after each event. The scale of compensation time allocated to each car and to the drivers for each race is as follows : 1st + 15 sec. 2nd + 10 sec. 3rd + 5 sec. The compensation times allocated on the basis of the results of each race are calculated to obtain the compensation time for the following race.

If due to the preceding dispositions, two handicap penalties were allocated to a team, only the largest value would be selected. The handicap penalties are allocated to the team, i.e. to each of the two drivers. Should handicap penalties be allocated to a driver at the end of a race, and this driver form for his following race a new team with another driver also entered in the Championship or in Coupe de France GT, handicap penalties of this team will be the largest penalty allocated for this race to each of the two drivers according to their classification at the end of their previous race.
