So 29 race weekends, which is plenty but since it's a fantasy, I'd take that.

Weekend Format

Friday practice where team is allowed to use extra cars and drivers who are not in the championship, two 1,5h sessions
3rd practice, 45 mins in Saturday
Qualifying in Saturday, 60min session split in three periods, first one eliminates bottom8 positions, second one determines top10 for the 3rd quali, where top10 has two shoot out laps
Sunday is race day, 310km race distance or 2 hours unless said otherwise

Race Format

Starting grid as in qualifying

Race Rules

Similar to F1 but no VSC. Safety Car goes out if there's a hazard on track
Safety Car by previous engine manufacturer's champion but needs to be eligible to have proper pace

Points Structure

Race points 25-18-15-12-10-6-4-3-2-1
Pole position gives 5 points
Fastest lap gives 3 points

Series has one main drivers championship title and 8 different smaller titles.
Driver with most points at the end of the season is the Drivers World Champion.
Eight other cups are following:
European champion
American champion (North American races)
International champion
Pole position champion
Fastest lap champion
Street course champion
Road course champion
Oval champion

Each title give 10 points for the main drivers championship points total. The idea of these different titles and double point races is to spice things up and reward success in individual categories.

Team orders leads to one race ban and disqualifying from the results for both drivers. If team order happens in double points race, the ban is two races. If there's multiple drivers from the team involved, the driver getting the advantage gets individual penalty for all the gained positions. If team order is given in the final race, drivers will get points taken away from previous race as well. One race ban would be the next season opener.
