Once at the track you'll need to fill in an extra form for the FT86 Cup (driver name, class, etc..)

Now how does it work is this the best lap out of your sessions or is this a separate session completely unique to the ft86 cup? And if so is it everyone just flat out at once or how does the cup work? New to the ft86 cup thing so dont want to go in blindly thanks.

It'll be based on your fastest lap in sessions 2-4 We don't count session 1 so that everyone has time to dial in their tire pressures and make last minute adjustments if needed.

Oh ok so pretty much just running the sessions like normal and just applying the times to the standings then?

Exactly.

If we start getting huge turnouts (20+ cars consistently), we'll be able to negotiate for a Time Attack session, or maybe a dedicated 15 minute session for just the FR-S/BRZ
