EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP: Information

[Johno3]

This Wednesday and Thursday sees the mighty UK Dirt F1’s do battle in their European Double Header. These two meetings are arguably the biggest to date as the Wednesday night is the FINAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING ROUND and the Thursday night is the night when the EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP will be fought over.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT - NORTHAMPTON

Information
Quite often, when the final World Championship Qualifying Round comes, the grid is pretty much cut and dry. But this is far from the case this year. The battle for the top spot in well and truly on with MoR (137) just 18 points ahead of the defending World Champion TomD (112). Add to the mix Mike (315) and DanSkin (236) battling for the front row position, with another 6 drivers battling for the right to start on row 2, and you would be forgiven for thinking that this meeting could well be for nothing. When you then add to that the fact that a further 8 non-seeded drivers will book their place on the grid for Thursday’s European Championship plus the Premier League and Whites and Yellows races, then Wednesday night is set to be an absolute classic!

And one other thing that might just tempt you into racing…… this is the only chance you will have to practice in a meeting on this year’s WORLD FINAL VENUE!

THURSDAY NIGHT – ARENA ESSEX

Thursday night is EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP night and we are guaranteed a new champion (as at the time of writing this JK is not a registered member). The grid will be made up of 16 drivers who are seeded directly on the grid (see below) and a further 8 drivers from the Wednesday night. They will then line up grades within grades according to the National Points Chart.

This is undoubtedly the biggest double header of the year and has been a tradition now since the first ever double header back in 2006. Now in it’s 6th year, we hope to continue to make this event as big as possible. So get yourself booked in and bring a friend too, and lets make this two meetings that are simply unforgettable!

Cheers
