The dawn of a new era for UK Dirt F1........

[Johno3]

UK DIRT RFACTOR F1 HAS ARRIVED OFFICIALLY

Thursday 20th March, Belle Vue, 8:30pm

Well after a long off season practicing on the new mod, the time has come for the mod to make its official UK Dirt league debut at Belle Vue.

At the time of writing this, we have 20 cars booked in, but I would expect that to reach over 25 by the close of bookings tomorrow, and who knows, it may perhaps reach over 30.

The booking list is headed by the off season rivals Drumbstick #321 and Hutch#331. Both drivers won numerous races throughout the off season, and on both occasions, during the autumn series and SNT, the points title went down to the last race. On both occasions Drumbstick just came out on top, and there is no doubt that Hutch will want to go one step better in the season. Fellow superstar Aub #188 is also in the booking list, and having won a couple of finals already, he is more than capable of taking victories in the opening meeting.

Moving down the grid, we have four red grade drivers booked in. Dazza #290 is said to be one of the fastest in the league, and will be looking to prove that true from the word go. DanSkin #236 already has a final win under his belt at Belle Vue, and MoR has already won several races at the Manchester race way. Grasser is the final red top, and it is good to see him racing, after only making a few appearances in the heat league last year.

Looking at the blue grade drivers, and its Kruiz #136 that will be leading the way one expects. Already won meeting finals, he is probably one driver that will be expected to get upgraded very quickly. Same could well be said for LeeK #39, who hasn’t started at blue in F1 for a very long time. With the massive difference between shale and tarmac, expect him to be more at home on the tarmac however. The final too blue tops are Marten #291 and Harold #599. Marten took a heat win at hednesford the other week, so it would perhaps not be surprising if he did well. Harold in a unknown quantity in rfactor however.

Looking at the yellow grade drivers, all of them have some good experience. DB #318 had a good meeting at Hednesford the other week and will be looking to continue with that. Johno #3 claims the Belle Vue is his favourite place so will be looking to try and improve on his recent outings. TomD #112 and Sybe #315 have both done a handful of meetings, so know their way around an rfactor F1 and will be looking to do well.

Finally, we have five white tops, including a driver racing from the other side of the world in Albz #106. He will be joined by two of his friends, Spike #221 and BigAl #515. All three come from the ‘more experienced generation’ of F1 drivers, and will be looking to do well for their white grade birth. The other two white top drivers are Marky #18 and Vegas #202. Little is known about these two drivers therefore it is possible that these are two drivers to keep our eyes on.

Either way, tomorrow is set to be a classic. It’s the dawning of a new era in regards to UK Dirt F1’s, and one that is very exciting. Be sure to join us on this classic night, and say that you were there for the first official UK Dirt F1 league meeting.

Cheers

Excellent write-up Johno can't wait

[big al 515]

Should be good.

 

Even my pc has got in the mood as it has suddenly decided tonight with the new skinpacks installed that it will run rFactor full screen whereas previously it crashed unless it was run as a window. It's a better experience full screen so good timing indeed.
