LP-01
Purpose of the License
EFVD offers limited License positions after reviewing performance, conduct, preparation and event fit. An offer is not a confirmed License. The driver accepts the full three-event commitment and pays $40 CAD to confirm the place. A License cannot be bought without EFVD's offer.
Not automatic
A license is not granted just for joining or entering one event.
Full driver profile
Staff considers driving, reliability, preparation, conduct and contribution.
Status can change
Licenses can be reviewed as driver activity and behavior change.
LP-02
Driver Pathway
Drivers apply once to join EFVD. Accepted drivers can request individual Wild Card events, while Event Ops may invite selected drivers to a limited Licensed Driver position. The driver reviews all three dates and conditions, accepts the three-event commitment, then pays $40 CAD to confirm the License and place. Declining the offer carries no penalty and keeps Wild Card eligibility.
-

LP-03
Status Benefits and Restrictions
Licensed status helps EFVD identify drivers who consistently meet competition, preparation, reliability and conduct standards.
| Status area | What it can affect |
|---|---|
| Priority registration | Licensed Drivers get first access to each round, a week before Wild Card entry opens, and confirm their attendance in My EFVD any time before entry closes. Your place is held until then. |
| License pass | $40 CAD covers registration for all three events in the championship, including transaction fees. The pass activates an awarded place; it does not buy a license. |
| Driver identity | License status can support number use, broadcast identification and driver presentation. |
| Championship eligibility | Licensed status is required for championship standings and championship payouts. |
| Event trust | Staff can rely on licensed drivers to arrive prepared, follow procedure and represent the series properly. |
| Restrictions | A license does not override technical rules, conduct rules, event deadlines or staff direction. |
| Competition results | Payment does not guarantee attendance credit, championship points, qualification, bracket advancement or a result. |
| Withdrawals and missed events | The full $40 CAD pass is refundable until the Round 1 cars and track are released together. After that you can still withdraw in My EFVD without a refund; it frees your place for another driver and is not treated as a no-show. No-shows are not refundable. Missing one event does not create a partial pass refund. See the Refund and Withdrawal Guide for event changes and other terms. |
LP-04
License Eligibility
EFVD reviews the complete candidate pool and the evidence available for each driver. Previous EFVD participation helps but is not required; strong applicants may also come from other competitions or be new to EFVD.
| Eligibility area | Expected standard |
|---|---|
| Competition ability | Controlled qualifying runs, safe tandem driving and clean decision-making. |
| Preparation | Correct files, approved car, required content and event schedule awareness. |
| Reliability | Arrives on time, responds when needed and communicates conflicts early. |
| Conduct | Handles wins, losses, judging calls and public communication properly. |
LP-05
License Evaluation Scorecard
The scorecard keeps license reviews focused on the full driver profile: driving quality, event execution, technical compliance, conduct and consistency.
| Evaluation area | What staff looks for |
|---|---|
| Driving quality | Line, angle, proximity, chase discipline and decision-making. |
| Event execution | Briefing attendance, staging readiness and ability to follow live procedure. |
| Technical compliance | Clean submissions, correct physics and cooperation with tech review. |
| Conduct | Sportsmanship, respectful communication and no avoidable public drama. |
| Consistency | The same standard across multiple events, not one isolated performance. |
LP-06
Promotion Process
Event Ops selects License candidates from accepted EFVD drivers. Staff considers the original application, EFVD history when available, preparation, driving quality, reliability, technical readiness and conduct. EFVD may send an offer later, before the three-event championship begins.

LP-07
Number Reservation Policy
Driver numbers support broadcast clarity and driver identity, but number use still depends on EFVD rules and availability. Licensed drivers may have priority when numbers are assigned or reserved.
Numbers must be open
A preferred number may not be available if already assigned or reserved.
Numbers must be visible
Car liveries should make driver identification clear in stream, replay and screenshots.
Numbers can change
EFVD may adjust number use for event organization or future season structure.
LP-08
Activity and Inactive Status
Licensed drivers are expected to stay connected to EFVD activity enough for staff to understand their current readiness and keep their status active.
| Activity status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Recent participation, communication or availability is clear. |
| Inactive | A driver has been away long enough that readiness may need review. |
| Returning | A returning driver may need updated tech, rules review or event notes before competing. |
LP-09
Probation and Removal
Licensed status can be limited, reviewed or removed when a driver no longer meets EFVD standards. These outcomes document how status may change after conduct, activity, technical or procedure issues.
| Reason | Possible outcome |
|---|---|
| Repeated no-shows | Reduced event priority or license review. |
| Conduct issue | Probation, restrictions, suspension or removal. |
| Technical issue | Corrections required before future events. |
| Procedure issue | Staff may require review before the next entry. |
LP-10
Wild Card Review
Wild Card events give non-licensed drivers reviewable event history. Strong performances, clean preparation and proper conduct can support future selection, license review, championship eligibility and priority registration.
Drive clean battles
Staff looks at control, tandem awareness and ability to complete competitive runs.
Handle the event properly
Briefing, staging, communication and conduct all matter.
Build a case
One event can help, but license review usually needs a reliable pattern.
LP-11
Recognition and Broadcast Use
License status helps viewers, drivers and partners understand which drivers have reviewed status in EFVD competition.
Clear identity
Licensed drivers may be easier to identify in overlays, commentary and event content.
Driver story
Recognition can support highlights, results graphics and season coverage.
Structured field
A visible driver structure makes events easier to present publicly.
LP-12
License Agreement Text

Follow current guides
Licensed drivers must still follow competition, technical and conduct rules.
Stay current
Drivers are responsible for reading event-specific updates on Discord.
Status is conditional
EFVD may review license status based on activity, conduct or event requirements.
