The top five entries in each class from 24H SERIES ESPORTS season 2022/2023 earned an invitation for the 2023/24 season.
An entry with an invitation may apply to any of the classes. Only the first seven entries with an invitation that apply to a class will be guaranteed a spot in that class.
The invitation may only be accepted when it meets all the following requirements:
At least one driver from last season remains;
The entry name remains identifiable as the same team;
The entry must have the same team manager as the previous season or a driver from the previous season must be the new team manager.
A team that no longer qualifies under these rules can apply for 'force majeure' to be judged by the organisation on a case-by-case basis.
The organisation reserves the right to deny any entry for any reason.
When registering, the invitation teams must make sure to comply with the rules. It is solely by the discretion of the organisation to decide if the invitation is valid based on the regulations.
Teams who do not have an invitation will have to participate in pre-qualifying.
The goal of pre-qualifying is to make a selection for the remaining available spots on the grid.
The number of available spots will be determined by the number of teams who have registered with an invitation.
After the entries have been selected as a result of pre-qualifying, they will have to complete the registration by paying the entry fee. If they do not complete the registration within the deadline, the spot will go to the next entry in line.
The organisation can, upon request, give more detailed reasoning on decisions from the pre-qualification session, either verbally or written. This should be regarded as a statement, and no further correspondence will be provided regarding the decision.
Each class gets, when necessary, its own pre-qualifying sessions.
Multiple sessions will be available throughout the day.

Session 1: 08:00 GMT

At least two drivers of each entry must drive a stint of at least ten consecutive clean timed laps. The fastest ten consecutive clean timed laps will serve as the reference stint time for the driver.
Only drivers on the roster of the entry may participate. Times from non-registered drivers are disregarded.
Both drivers do not need to participate in the same session.
Entries are allowed to field more drivers, only the two fastest drivers' times are counted.
Drivers may participate in multiple sessions, in an attempt to improve their time. Only the times from the last participated session will be considered for each driver.
When a driver enters a new session, the times from the previous session will be revoked.
The average of the fastest stint times of the two fastest drivers will serve as reference for ordering the entries.
The two drivers who qualified the entry are required to be on the roster for that entry, for the first two events of the season.
