In recent years races have also been added in Germany and Slovakia.

Events follow a format of two 25 minutes races, followed by a 50 minutes final race, although some events shared with other series use a modified format.
The series was originally sponsored by Tango and CMA CGM, before HTC became the title sponsor in 2010 and 2011. HDI-Gerling became the series sponsor for 2012. Dutch driver Ricardo van der Ende is the defending series champion, driving for Racing Team Holland BMW.
