There is a little trick to getting more races, you can run sf and super unlimited and get 2 races a weekend. thats a lot of time on track though

You will get 2 races credits per weekend one race on Saturday and one on Sunday. you will make it if you attend 3 events weekends.

Default Re: Gateway race

Also you can run TT for two races and it will count towards the five. You are allowed to use 2 (only 2) Time Trial Events.

So, on one weekend you can do two races and two TT events and that is 4 of the 5 races right there.
