Hello All, I am pleased to announce the official 2011 UK DIRT F1 WORLD FINAL GRID. The coin toss took place just moments ago with Mike calling tails and losing the toss. Tosh then decided to take the inside. This means that the 2011 F1 World Final grid looks as follows: ROW 1 : 8 - 315 ROW 2 : 137 - 1 ROW 3 : 151 - 115 ROW 4 : 236 - 39 ROW 5 : 90 - 221 ROW 6 : 380 - 41 ROW 7 : 391 - 262 ROW 8 : 290 - 527 ROW 9 : 300 - 365 ROW 10 : 525 - 560 ROW 11 : CSF1 - CSF2 ROW 12 : CSF3 - CSF4 The remaining two rows of the grid will be decided on World Final evening (at Nothampton) when all those drivers that did not qualify from the semi final will fight it out in the Consolation Semi Final. Only 4 extra drivers will make it onto the grid. Full details about the 2011 F1 World Championship will be available closer to the time. I am sure you all agree that this grid has the potential to produce a classic race. The count down is well and truly on! Cheers Johno

Tosh won the coin toss but as he was not at the meeting, we don't have official confirmation that he wants the inside. Cheers Johno

Hello All, Tonight there will be a 'virtual' coin toss to decide which driver will start the World Final on pole position. At the start of the meeting I will ask one of the drivers to call 'Heads' or 'Tails'. This website will be used to determine the outcome of the coin toss. Anyone will be able to see the result as the website stores the results of the coin tosses for a number of days. Tonight's meeting will start at 20:30 so in order to be around for the coin toss, you will need to be in chat at 8:25pm. I will then ask Mike for his call (Mike will call as he scored the most World Championship Qualifying Points) and so the coin toss we will use, will be at 20:28 (UK time). In order to see the result of the toss, go to the website linked above and do the following: - Scroll down to: To view a prior coin toss - Make sure the date is today’s date (it is American so it will read 8/25/2011) - Change the time to 15:28 (the time recorded on the website is American time - 5 hours behind ours). - The click ‘fetch’. The winner of the coin toss will have the choice of starting on the inside (pole) or outside position. The result of the coin toss will then be given in MiRC chat along with the current World Final grid. Cheers Johno

Hello, I have started this thread as I am afraid I am going to have to cancel tonight as I wont be home in time. Hopefully I will be back up and running next week. Apologies. Cheers Johno

Hello All, Just to confirm, the winner of the Golden Helmet will be the driver who scores the most points over the 2 meeetings at Hednesford and Sexbierum. This will hopefully add something different to the current championships that we race for. Cheers Johno

Hello All, This Wednesday sees the awesome UK Dirt Saloons do battle for their all important World Championship.

Tonight's UKDirt Saloon meeting will be held at Westworld. We will be running ALL IN! I must say though, it is pleasing to see more numbers this week. Bookings WHITE #237 Ricky James #756 Jason_R (Unless graded differetly at Simstox) YELLOW #351 bfd (later heats) #231 Si BLUE #68 Skeet #151 Dode #488 Dave #874 Tosh RED #632 Johno #760 Ryano Champions #39 LeeK #112 TomD #365 Travel Meeting Information 4 Heats Final 1 Allcomers Chat Ukdirt members use their normal UKDirt chat Points Heats 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Final: 20,18,16,14,12,10,8,6,4,2 Allcomers 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Start Procedure The starting procedure used for all races is as follows unless otherwise stated: When the lights go green (or the final buzzer has gone and countdown timer completed) drivers will make there way at a speed of less then 20mph to their starting position, as listed below and line up 2-a-breast. You must not pass drivers of your own grade. You must line up correctly without making contact with other cars, incidents will be dealt with the same way as if it were part of the race. Previous race winners during the meeting must start at the back of the grade. Once drivers are in position the steward will ask if anyone is not ready. If nobody replies, 'Roll at 20' is called and the leader of the whites will roll at a steady 20mph for the rolling lap. Drivers at the front of each grade are to drive at approx. 20mph but ensure they keep their 4 to 6 cars distance to the grade in front. Anytime after the leading white reaches the apex of turns 3 & 4 the steward will call 'GO GO GO' and the race will be on. If for any reason the grid does not form properly after rolling, then a restart may be called. If there are persistent offenders that stop races being started they will be sent to the back of the grid or excluded. Starting positions approximate - always follow instructions from meeting steward Whites: At the start / finish line Yellows: Exit of Turn 4 Blues: Exit of Turn 3 Red: Entry to Turn 3 On Track Behaviour - Drivers must drive in the correct direction (clockwise) at all times. - No use of the infield at any time, using the infield during a race will be classed as cutting. - No driving round the track slowly or waiting for other drivers. - Contact and Fencings are permitted but this must not fall into stupid driving by deliberately ruining somebody's race outside the rules. - No following in or unsporstmanlike sideswiping is allowed - No talking once the race has started, and until all drivers have crossed the finishing line. - If your car is damaged you may leave it on track but off the racing line. - Do not leave the server during a race as this will cause warp. However if your car is sat on the top of the fence please press escape. - Care is to be taken when rejoining the racing line following a spin and persistent carelessness in this respect will be punished. - Individual drivers with a bad connection may be banned from the rest of the meeting if it causes a problem for other drivers. - Wall riding is NOT permitted. If you are hit into the wall, you must back off the throttle and gain full control. You must not use the wall to steer the car around the turn, nor use it to gain a race advantage. Anyone found to do so may be docked places, excluded from the results, or have their meeting points removed. -Jump starts will be penalised by docking, 2 places or 2places per car they jump. Grades Drivers are graded at intervals throughout the season, please make sure you know what grade you are. Novice drivers to rFactor have been graded as white, where a driver races in another UKDirt rFactor mod they start from one grade below there highest grade i.e. Mike is red in F1s so drops to blue grade. If anyone believes they have been graded incorrectly please just say and we'll sort it out.

Come and join whenever your ready BFD. Pleased to see numbers increasing. Cheers Johno

I hope you will be around to race sir I won't be around to post a late bookings thread tonight, so if you just post here if you miss the bookings on the UK Dirt website. Cheers Johno
