Johno3 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 This Thursday sees the mighty UK Dirt F1s race in their penultimate World Championship qualifying round at Mildenhall. This round is the final round on shale this year, with one round left to go at this year’s World Final venue, Northampton on Wednesday 6th July. At this time of year, drivers start to look at where they could be on those all important World Championship Semi Final grids. If the qualifying round were to have finished after the previous round at Hednesford, the grids would look as follows:POSSIBLE SEMI FINAL ONE 137 - 315 391 - 236 262 - 277 221 - 172 380 - 31 561 - 84 515 - 365 256 - 488 363 - 164 48 - 4 POSSIBLE SEMI FINAL TWO 1 - 151 8 - 3 188 - 39 300 - 560 527 -90 290 - 41 285 - 413 33 - 525 588 - 130 531 - 233 Right now, the biggest battle is the battle fr the number one spot and the right to choose their semi final venue. MoR (137) currently has a 13 point gap over the current World Champion TomD (1). After making huge imprivements in his driving this year, Dode (151) is pretty much guaranteed a front row grid slot where as Mike (315) may have to come out once more to cement his front row slot. Position 4 to 10 are separated by just 24 points, so battle for the slots on row 2 of each semi final is certainly up for grabs. Looking further down the grid, and the likes of Daveyboy (380), Dazza (290), Drumbstick (41), Matthew (413), Lee (531) and Grasser (233) are currently a lot lower than their talent suggests. Whilst it will be entertaining to watch them battle through the grid in their respective semi final, it will be interesting to see if any of these drivers choose to race in any of the final two qualifying rounds. It is also interesting to see that the likes of Murf (561), Fasttrack (527) and Walker (363) all hold very good grid slots despite not racing in any World Championship Qualifying Rounds in 2011. I wonder if any of these drivers will be out to race in a semi final, or maybe even one of the last two qualifying rounds. It is always important to look at that all important 40th position, which is currently held Pusher (4). 40th or above guarantees you a place on the semi final grid, and whilst there will enevitably be drivers that do not attend their semi final, it is always good to gurantee your place on the grid. Three points will do that this year, with just 3 drivers currently falling short of that target (Jedd, Green and Waqar). This also means that anyone who fancies having a go in the last two world qualifiers has a great chance of making the grids. Finally, I always like to look at what a good meeting could do for someone down the lower regions of the qualifying chart. Lets say Hooty (256) goes out and scores 35 points at Mildenhall, it is possible that he could shoot from row 8 to row 4! Obviously it would require a lot of people above him failing to score, but it does go to show that one good meeting from the two remaining could make a massive difference come World Championship Semi Final time!
