Practice = 20 minutes
Qualifying = 10 minutes
Warm-up = 5 minutes
Race 1 (Feature) = 25 minutes
Race 2 (Sprint) = 15 minutes (Reverse Grid)
Special Race (45 minutes) - Round 7 Only

Series Changes

For 2010 the race times for both rounds of each event were shortened by 5 minutes in order to have a longer official free practice session before qualifying. The biggest change was the size of each team entry which in 2009 Masters Series season allowed upto 3 cars at each event, this was changed to a maximum of 2 cars in order to allow more full team entries. The series start date was also moved later into the year in order for it to start after the Superleague and Supercup seasons had finished.

The series schedule was shortened by 2 events and a single round event at the 12.93 mile Nordschleife was held as a special one off race mid-season. Some events were replaced for different venues for 2010 after careful consideration with drivers that entered into the 2010 season, however the core of the series format remained the same as well as maintaining the BMW E90 as the series car.
