Hi - You're referring to the WRS, and we'll still be running the weekly series, after everyone has qualified.
As far as the seasonal events go, the events that bring the most cash are now the DTM cars at Nurb GT/D (Race Event 5) and the JGTC cars at HSR (Race Event 4). You'll need to level up to buy cars for those events to earn cash and XP. Many DTM cars are currently available in the online dealership.
If you miss the submission deadline, it will be 2-4 weeks before we open the qualifier again.
As far as the clutch is concerned, this ruling only applies to use of the clutch pedal and feature, as it offers an unfair time advantage to those who have it. Paddles are just fine.
