No, the Winter Heat Series is separate from the official eNASCAR Heat Pro League. The Winter Heat Series offers competitors the opportunity to race against official eNHPL teams and drivers, as well as showcase their talents ahead of next season’s draft.  

All competitors are allowed to use either a controller or wheel/pedal system for the open qualifiers and the Movember 50, Holiday 60 and New Year’s Resolution 70. The Valentine’s Day 80, which serves as the Winter Heat Series finale, will likely require the use of a wheel/pedal system provided by the Winter Heat Series.  

Yes, participants are allowed to create their own custom setups for each of the Winter Heat Series.  

All participants are encouraged to create an account on Movember.com and join the Motorsport Games – Movember 50 team. The starting lineup for the Movember 50 will be determined by fundraising efforts. While fundraising is not required, it is directly tied to a participant’s starting position for the Movember 50 on November 22.

The top three finishing drivers from each platform in the November, December and January events will earn a position in the Valentine’s Day 80. If a competitor that is already locked into the finale finishes in the top three positions in subsequent events, the next highest-finishing driver not already locked in will earn a position in the finale.  

The November, December and January events will all have open qualifiers in which participants will look to advance. If a competitor is invited to advance out of the open qualifiers and is offered a position in that month’s main event, they will be required to confirm their participation with Winter Heat Series officials. This invitation does not lock them into any subsequent events. If a competitor finishes inside the top three, they will be locked into the Winter Heat Series finale and participation will need to be confirmed.
