The Laps README — Season 2026

Show up all season.
The Society keeps score.

LAPS are the Society's record of dedication — earned by being at real races, collected across the entire year, impossible to buy. Ranks come from laps. And at season's end, the paddock pays its regulars: the Drop.

01 · How you earn — check-ins first

Post it. Tag it. Bank it.

We're not at every race — you are. So the proof is your post. Any race weekend on the calendar below pays laps through the fan check-in protocol:

1

Post from the race

A photo or clip from the venue during the race weekend, posted to X, tagging @Wen_officialx with your member tag#TPS0000 style, shown on your pass. No member number yet? Mint one free.

2

We verify

Your post is the receipt — venue, weekend, member tag. The Society confirms it and DMs you that event's code. One code per event, one check-in per member.

3

Redeem the code

Drop the code in the check-in box. Laps land on your pass instantly — rank, streak, season log, all of it. Codes stay live a few days past the weekend, so a Monday DM still counts.

Society-run events — like the Founding Lap and GT Global Championship weekends — skip the DM: those codes drop directly at the event and on @Wen_officialx.

Where you show upWhy it paysLaps
Society events — Founding Lap, GTGC weekends, dropsWhere the flag actually flies — showing up for the Society's own racing is the whole game25
Grassroots — SCCA, NASA, FARA USAThe paddocks that need fans most — presence here is the mission15
The majors — IMSA, NASCAR Cup, IndyCarThe heartbeat of American race weekends10
Formula 1 — the two US Grands PrixThe show that needs no help — you were going anyway5
The recruit lap — a member you brought in checks in for the first timeGrowing the paddock pays both ways: they earn +5 on top of their event, you earn +5 for bringing them. Signup alone pays nothing — they have to show up.5 + 5

one check-in per member per event · codes are single-event · redeeming requires holding $WEN · more ways to earn (posting, creating, growing the paddock) join the menu as the season runs

Growing the paddock · top recruiters

Nobody owns this board yet. Share the referral link on your pass — when someone you bring in makes their first check-in, you both earn 5 laps and your name lands here. Ranked by recruits who show up, not signups.

Ranks are earned at the track.

03 · The season & the Drop

Collect all year. Then the paddock pays its regulars.

The season runs the calendar year. Every check-in you bank stays on your pass — the log is public proof of who actually showed up for racing in 2026.

At season's end comes the Drop: the Society funds a rewards pool of $WEN and the leaderboard claims it. Most dedicated, first served — laps burn when you redeem, and the ladder resets the game for the new year.

No exchange rate, ever. Laps are not a currency and never convert at a fixed price. The pool is set each season at the Society's discretion; what a lap claims depends on the season, the pool, and the board. That keeps the game about showing up — not farming.

laps are promotional — no cash value, non-transferable, earned only through Society activities · redemptions are discretionary seasonal rewards of the Society, not income, yield, or a promise of value · $WEN is a high-risk memecoin — nothing here is financial advice
04 · The 2026 calendar — where laps live

Every race weekend that pays, through the checkered flag.

Verified dates, the rest of 2026. Go racing anywhere below, run the check-in protocol, bank the laps. More series join as members demand them — that's the point of the Society.
