The meeeting is as normal with each driver getting 3 heats the top 22 will make the final
in points order from the heats .
The World/British/European/and Points champions will be automatic Star grade (red), regardless of thier grade when winning
the titles.
Those Drivers who join us from UKDirt will retain any current grade they hold there at that start of our Season, From
then on our own grading will be used for GBF1SC (GB F1 Stock Car) races.
Use of a skin will come at a later date for now
they will be allocated from the present list.
Race
Each meeting will have the following races Starting at 19.30 hrs GMT.
2/3 heats you will run in any 2 out of
3.
Meeting Format
Drivers will NOT be allowed to request specific race allocation - i.e. you get what you are given as far as heats, consolations
and grand nationals are concerned.
The format for most meetings will be the same and will be as follows :
Each driver
will race in 2 or 3 heats. The top 16 points scorers will automatically qualify for the Final. If there is a tie for the last
qualifying place(s) then those who placed in a higher position in their heat will have preference. If the drivers still cannot
be separated drivers best lap times will be considered.
The rest of the drivers will race in a consolation race (the number of drivers attending the meeting will determine whether
there will be 1 or 2 consolation races). 4 drivers will qualify for the Final.
There will then be 20/21 drivers for the Grand Final or ‘A’ Final. The next 20 drivers taken from the list
of finishers from the consolation races will form a 'B' Final. The number of cars qualifying for the final may change at any
point.
‘B’ Finals will be run as non-official races if there are less than 12 cars in the race, hence no points
will be scored in this race. The B Final winner will also go to the final.
Each driver will then race a Grand National race.
We reserve the right to alter the number of competitors in any
race. They will be determined by the number of drivers booked to race. We also reserve the right to alter the meeting format,
again this will be determined by the number of drivers booked to race.
The points scheme is:
Heats:10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1
Consi's: Non-scoring
Grand Final: 25, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4
'B' Final: 4, 3, 2,
1, 1, 1 (no points scored where there are less than 12 cars in the race)
GN's (if 2 races are run): 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2
GN's (if 3 races are run): 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 ,2
Drivers must complete 75% of the race to qualify
for points.
Racing direction is anti-clockwise.
The winner of the meeting Final may start with a lap handicap (blue,
red or superstar grade drivers) by lining up in front of the white top drivers, or start with a half lap handicap (yellow
or white grade drivers) by lining up behind the superstar drivers, and will score double points if taking this handicap. In
2009, any driver has the option of taking the handicap.
If he/she chooses not to take the handicap, they will only score
single points. They will have to start at the back of their normal grade as they have won a race in the meeting.
If any
of the Grand National's cannot be run on race night for technical reasons, ALL Grand National results will be declared null
and void.
Heats will consist of no more than 16 cars
Consolation Race open to all who have not yet made the final, .
B
Final for those left who are not in the A final, the winner joins the A final
A Final
GN 'S depending on numbers.
The
B final only scores is 12 or more take part.
Heats and consolations and GN'S will be 16 laps
B Final will be 20 Laps
A Final will be 20 Laps
There will be a booking thread started for each round which be open till 6.00pm on Friday. After which time a list
of starters and the grids for the Heat, GN's will be posted.
The heat you are allocated can not be changed, as each heat
race takes between 6 an 10 minutes, the need to keep the meeting going is imperative. I will not wait for missing drivers,
however a bit of leeway will be given to allow connection.
The World/British/European Championships will be run differently , these will be noted later if we have enough cars racing.
Start Procedure
