The Open Wheel Racing League has added a new system to reward those drivers that have proved themselves in the Division A/B competitions of the league: A Div A licensing system. Drivers that have gone through the ranks will automatically get the Div A license, which allows them to compete in any Division A race. Div A races are held with the Formula V8. The Div A/B season remain as they were, with the Division B using the smaller formula cars. The next competition using the new licensing system will start in September and is to be announced shortly.

In a Div A/B season drivers with a Div A license are allowed to start in both Div A and Div B races; they are free to choose for each event. New drivers or those we have not their Div A license yet can sign up for the Div B events. If they finish in the top 7 at the end of the season they will earn the Div B license. Once received a driver can not lose his Div A license unless that penalty is handed out by the marshals. Based on current rules, 45 drivers have already been awarded a Div A license. It is still anticipated that only 1 server will be needed for the Div A races.

"The Div A license allows us to give the drivers that deserve it the right reward", said Wouter "Krutch" de Bruijn, head admin of the Open Wheel Racing League. "It keeps our Division system intact whilst at the same time giving our drivers a bit more freedom. Once earned, the drivers can miss a couple of events or even a season and when they return they can still race in Div A. For those that prefer the frantic Div B action they can enter a race with the FBM or FOX and later get back to the Div A races. We are certain this system will prove itself to all OWRL competitors."

The rules that have been used to award the Div A license:
- All OWRL champions since S2
- All Div A drivers from S2 Season 14
- Top 7 from Div B from S2 Season 14
- Top 4 from the FBM Trophy.
