AP-01
Purpose of the Applicant System
The applicant system is the manually reviewed entry point for new and returning EFVD drivers. Application approval is separate from event registration.
Submit accurate information
Provide clear identity, setup, experience and availability details.
Approval is not automatic
Staff reviews every application and decides its outcome.
Registration remains separate
Approved drivers complete My EFVD and register for each event separately.
AP-02
Who Can Apply
New and returning drivers may apply to EFVD. Applying does not grant approval. Approval only makes a driver eligible to complete a permanent profile and later register for events.
Drivers can apply
Drivers who want organized competition and can follow event procedures may apply.
Consent may be requested
Underage drivers may apply, but EFVD may request parent or guardian consent before participation.
Manual review applies
Staff reviews preparation, experience, availability, conduct and overall EFVD fit.
Be truthful
False, incomplete or misleading application information can affect eligibility.
AP-03
Before You Apply
The EFVD Application is the first step into EFVD. It is not an event registration.
Know the process
Read the New Driver Guide for an overview, then use this page for application requirements.
Test access
Confirm that Assetto Corsa, Content Manager, Discord, and your wheel and pedals are ready. Staff may request setup proof at any time.
Expect staff review
Staff manually reviews every application. Submission is not approval, and approval does not guarantee a place in any event.
AP-04
Application Flow
An approved application establishes EFVD eligibility and a permanent driver identity. Individual event entry happens later through a separate registration.
-
01
Apply
Submit your identity, setup, experience, availability and optional socials.
-
02
Staff review
Event Ops manually approves, holds for further review or rejects the application.
-
03
Permanent profile
Approved drivers open My EFVD and complete the permanent profile used for future events.
-
04
Event registration
Submit a separate registration when a round opens. Staff reviews that request, and a place is not guaranteed.
AP-05
Required Application Information
The initial application gives staff enough information to review the driver. Car selection, inspection, payment and event-specific details are handled later through My EFVD.
| Information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Driver identity | Used for Discord contact and the permanent driver profile. |
| Driving setup | Confirms the driver has a wheel and pedal setup for competition. |
| Availability | Confirms you can attend required event sessions. |
| Experience | Helps staff understand readiness for the event format. |
| Optional socials | Supports approved driver identity, media and broadcast presentation. |
AP-06
Application Review Criteria
Staff manually decides whether an applicant should enter the EFVD driver pathway. Event entry requires a separate decision for each round.
| Application factor | What staff checks |
|---|---|
| Preparation | The driver understands the rules and describes a usable competition setup. |
| Experience | Enough detail for staff to assess current competition readiness. |
| Conduct | Respectful communication and no avoidable drama. |
| Availability | The driver can reasonably participate in EFVD events. |
| Accuracy | Application information is truthful, current and complete. |
AP-07
Application Outcomes
Application outcomes determine EFVD driver eligibility. They do not decide event registration.
| Outcome | What it means |
|---|---|
| Approved | Complete the permanent My EFVD profile; you may then register for events as a Wild Card. |
| Under review | Staff needs more time or clarification before deciding. |
| Rejected | EFVD driver eligibility was not approved at this time. |
| Reapplication allowed | Staff has allowed an updated application; approval still requires another manual decision. |
AP-08
After Application Approval
Application approval lets a driver complete a permanent EFVD profile. It does not enter the driver into an event.
Complete My EFVD
Complete the identity and Steam information used for future events.
Request each event separately
Submit a round registration when eligible. Event Ops manually reviews it and may confirm, waitlist, hold or deny it.
Wait for event instructions
Choose or submit a car only when instructed for that event.
Check event readiness
Use the launcher to check files, Steam, wheel readiness and whether you may join the server.
AP-09
Event Waitlist and Replacement Policy
A waitlist applies to a specific event registration, not the initial EFVD application. A waitlisted registration does not guarantee a competition place.
Check My EFVD
Your event-registration status and next action appear in the current round.
Complete only available steps
Do not assume you may pay, submit files or join until My EFVD confirms each step.
Act quickly
If Event Ops offers a place, promptly complete the requested action for that event.
AP-10
Communication Standards
Use the announced EFVD channels. Keep applicant communication accurate, respectful and concise.
| Communication area | Expected behavior |
|---|---|
| Questions | Use Event Ops Help from My EFVD or the announced website support link. |
| Updates | Notify staff early if your car, availability or contact information changes. |
| Tone | Stay respectful and concise when asking for clarification. |
| Live event issues | Use the announced live communication method during official sessions. |
