Individual rounds will further consist of three practice sessions, one qualifying session and two races.
The gird for the first race will be formed on the basis of the qualifying session while the grid for the second race will be based on the top 12 contenders finishing in the first race.
Earlier in June last year, Avik became the first Bangladeshi to win an international motor sport event by clinching the Volkswagen Ameo Cup in India.
