Hello All, I can confirm that there will be no green and white chequered roof for winning the Irish Open Championship. Trav is free to show it on his car how he wishes but it must be within the skin rules. I have also spoken to Trav about this earlier in the evening. As it has come up, I can also confirm that there is no National Series of any kind this season. The National Points Championship is a driver's best 35 scores from the 40 meetings available. Cheers Johno

Hello Dougie, I am afraid I can't confirm when they will be done. I am race managing the meetings while James and Dan are on holiday. I believe they are back next week but I maybe wrong. Cheers Johno

Hello All, Based on the number of votes recieved, and the fact that it does not appear on the fixture list this year, we will be racing at Westworld on Wednesday. I am afraid I can't change the venue on the website so you will have to book in under Sheffield or book in on this thread. Cheers Johno

I have just done 10 laps and I have managed to go round in the 13.4's. I have not adjusted anything and I had a kings Lynn set up from last year on the car. I know it was re-done sometime ago to be made wider or appeared to be anyway), but I think it might have been done again because I do not remember that squeal of the tyres being on there when we last raced. I absolutely hate it - it goes right through me!! Cheers Johno

Westworld sounds good to me too. Iwill see what other have to say first and make a confirmation announcement on Sunday evening. Cheers Johno

Hello All, Based on the fact that Sheffield was cancelled last time out, I have permission to ask about a possible fixture change. So is there anywhere that you would particularly fancy racing? Cheers Johno

Tonight's UKDirt Saloon meeting will be held at Onchan. We will be running ALL IN! Bookings WHITE #129 Scootaah #200 Dougieford #237 Ricky James YELLOW #351 bfd #231 Si BLUE #151 Dode #488 Dave RED #632 Johno #760 Ryano Champions #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.

excellent guys - keep them coming!!

Tomorrow night sees the first ever UK Dirt F1 Irish Open Championship. Nutts Corner is the venue for the meeting, and once again, it is the first time we have raced around the Irish tarmac oval in league racing. IRISH OPEN FORMAT - 3 heats (Top 14 Points scorers) - Cons (if required then the top 6 will qualify) - Final - IRISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP - 1/2 GN's The final will be gridded slighty different to normal. It will be run grades within grades in blocks of 6 with a 3 car length gap between each block of 6 drivers. The top points scorer from each grade will be be the first person in their grade and so on and so on. This means that in the first group, there could be a mixtue of whites and yellows - it all depends on each number in a grade. We hope that this will add something a little different to this new championship. Cheers Johno

Anyone wanting a late booking for tonight's meeting at Onchan, please post below. The server is up for practise. Cheers Johno

Meeting starts at 8:30pm.

Both more than welcome

I will be race managing tonight due to holidays, so of course you can. Come on guys - get yourselves booked in - Onchan produced some fantastic racing last year! Cheers Johno

Thanks for the congratulations guys. I really did enjoy the racing and had a great race with Trav in the final (plus thanks for the help through the choas to Trav!). I think Drumb's tactic with his write up worked, as the attendance was prbably higher than expected! Thanks for themeeting Gary! Cheers Johno

Dan has put them in the top post Liam Cheers Johno
