Heard a rumour about this. Genuinely excited it's true!

 

Shame it clashes with bangers on a Tuesday but it's definately workable.

Lets hope for some super racing in the future!

[theboss]

yh would rather it didnt clash with the bangers on tuesday as i may have been tempted to get me rfactor otherwise lol

 

Seriously, can ukdirt not choose another day? TNB is dead so thursdays is coool !!!

[woody390]

[TRAV365]

[Chewy102]

We will be producing joint skinpacks for both leagues in one download.

UkDirt run F1's on Thursdays and F2's on Mondays and I cant see them changing that any time soon. Hence the UkDirt Loons are on Wednesday...SimStox been running SSC on Tues for a while, its where all the banned UkDirt banger drivers went for a while.

There is only 2 skinpacks you need as of now Lee, Full Skinpack and August one which are available on the SimStox portal or on the UKDirt website as per usual.

All working now.

[theboss]

man its soooo tempting, just not ready to give up the bangers lol

 

how does the world ranking system work and how is it different to the normal points system?

[samson]

Not all clued up on the world ranking system myself but the following message is off the sim stox forum posted by the points man chewy

 

Championship Rounds

 

World Championship & World Rankings

 

All major championships and other selected events, will be designated as World Ranking events as shown in the fixture list. All drivers racing at these designated events will score points in 2 ways as follows:

 

Attendance:

World - 18 points

Euro / British / National - 12 points

Scottish / English - 10 points

All other WR events - 6 points

(If a championship is run over two days then drivers would score half attendance points for each day raced)

 

The top 10 in the Championship races will score from 10pts for 1st down to 1pt for 10th, multiplied as follows:

World x 5

Euro / British x 4

National x 3

Scottish / English x 2

Other WR x 1

 

In addition to the above, the top twenty in each tracks ‘Track Championship’ will receive 20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 points. Tracks with 1 or 2 meetings will score normal points, Tracks with 3 or 4 meetings will be doubled. Tracks with 5 or more will be trebled.

 

World Rankings will run up to and including Ipswich 7th September 2010 at which point the top 20 cars in the rankings will automatically qualify for the WF in points order. any reserves will be taken from the next positions. Drivers not then qualified will be eligible for the Last Chance Saloon Race, formed in points order. The Top 4 in this race will join the back of the WF grid giving a 24-car final.

 

The 2010 World Final begin with a 2 lap rolling start over 25 laps

I am mega tempted to give these a go. Will it be ok to just race on the wednesday meets and then i can still do the bangers on tues here too?

Yes it is perfectly fine to only race on Wednesday's meetings, the Tuesday and Wednesday meetings are seperate meetings they just all go together to form the same points charts etc.

[bobbert325]

Ideal, ta for the heads up. Now all i gotta do is get my wheel n pedels set up correctly and work out how to do a rfactor setup.

[Walker363]

Brilliant news can only help both leagues grow

[Hutch#331]

Looking at swapping days on simstox for saloons to the weds then no one looses out

[wee dode]

that means it will be a meeting on simstox then the meeting on ukdirt after?

No, more than likely mean it will just be 1 meeting on a wednesday jointly run by both leagues.

[wee dode]

makes sense then no one misses out.

[theboss]

I know I am moaning about the whole tuesday thing but i would rather have 2 meetings a week, makes for a whole "seperate" promotion thing with dirt and simstox, still have the joint national/world points but keep the meetings seperate. would create a better rivalry when the dirt boys do simstoc and vice versa.

 

Just my opinion

[Hutch#331]

Its not about simstox v ukdirt, its about creating a larger scale series for individual drivers which will benifit both leagues

 

If you want to play teams race bangers on tuesday as saloons are not a league v league or teams series
