So what happens when a licenced and non licened what to team up??

[TTPRacing]

It is allowed because your unlicensed rider you speak of is actually licensed by 4pm (which is the time the endurance race starts.)

So technically it is a WERA,AFM, ect licensed racer teaming up with a TTP licensed racer.
