Simon31 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Well, here it is folks! The one and only BriSCA F2 Gala night here at UKDirt. Gala night will see huge numbers of drivers from all over the world make their way to Birmingham Wheels Raceway, located in the heart of the second city. Birmingham Wheels has hosted regular Saturday night meetings since the 80’s, and of course this tradition still continues today. Birmingham Wheels is renowned for its wide bends and fast straights, yet never fails to produce top quality stockcar racing!! The official UKDirt F2 Gala Night will certainly be one to remember, with lots of series finales including the Whites & Yellows Championship Final and the Central Series Final. Two phenomenal races with guaranteed huge grids, the crowd are guaranteed a top night of BriSCA action! Add to that Shoot Out ’13 plus an extra special Champion of Champions and you have got an unmissable night of brutal bumper bending madness! What is this extra special Champion of Champions race I hear you speak of? The Champion of Champions event is a closed grid event where all of 2013’s champions are put head to head in the ultimate challenge! Ten direct qualifiers through their championship status, and one direct qualifier who has managed to race every single meeting this season! Not on the grid? There are still places up for grabs! Both the Whites and Yellows champion and the Central Series champion will be seeded on the grid, leaving five empty places on the grid. The last five drivers to qualify will be decided by you! Yes that’s right, you! We would like all of the BriSCA F2 drivers to vote for their driver of the season. Please vote by simply sending a PM to -- KrisH244 – on the forum. Kris can be found under the ‘UKDirt 2nd Tier Admin’ list on the forum. Please PM him the Name and number of your driver of the season. All votes are confidential and votes will close at 7:30PM on 18/11/13. Kris will then announce the nominees in MIRC at 8PM. Drivers will then have until the end of the Central Series finale to PM Kris on MIRC to ensure their Driver of 2013 gets a place on the grid. Please note that Drivers already on the Champion of Champions grid are not up for nomination. The Champion of Champions will be decided over a 16 lap race where drivers will be gridded at random. Please note, in the case of a tie-break, the position(s) will be decided by the number of meeting attended, then national point’s average (Lowest qualifies). World Championship – 236 European Champion – 46 British Champion – 480 Scottish Champion – 87 Irish Champion – 41 World Cup – 112 UK Open – 87 WOS – 87 English Open - 246 F2 Nationals - 236 Golden Helemet – 87 F2 TT - 236 GN Championship - 236 EuroMasters – 116 Whites and Yellows Champion – TBC Central Series Champion – TBCWhites and Yellows Starting off looking at the Whites and Yellows grid, we see 58 minitom take pole position. Tom has had a brilliant season racing off the lower grades, and will certainly be one to watch in this race. A well setup RCE chassis at what must be one of its home tarmac tracks, this guy is going to mean business! LouisH will be starting alongside minitom on the front row of this Whites and Yellows series finale. Louis had a phenomenal meeting last week at Hednesford Hills Raceway, the twinned Incarace track. Louis finished 2nd in the meeting points, so he must have been doing something right! With both car and driver on form, keep your eyes peeled. Row 2 will feature Spike and RLJ. Both Spike and Ricky have more than enough experience to win this race off row 2. Will experience beat this novice front row, or will the novices leave the oldskool lads in a cloud of smoke? One last mention, Si #31 is currently sitting in the first reserve slot. Simon will be looking to sneak onto the back of the grid and work his way up to victory in this Whites and Yellows race. With two previous back to back victories in this championship will we see the Whites and Yellows championship heading back to the West Country? Central Series Onto the central series final now which is set to be a cracking race with none of the ukdirt big names in the line up! The likes of #236 Danskin and #41 Drumbstick failed to turn up and with the likes of #87 Robin who failed to make the grid, an outsider is looking like they will take this one! Looking at the front row we have #39Leek and #238 Kane, Leek has won big races in the past so im sure nerves wont play a part in this one, but Kane may feel the pressure a bit more then the newly crowned Banger World Champion! Both have the speed to win it but can they convert speed to race victory? Mid pack we have we have some hard hitters with the likes of #691 Jake and english open champion #246 Stox, each driver in this race will be looking to add a title to there shelf with no real big names in the race! #46 Nezza will be doing his best to add this one onto his European championship winning car as he starts near the rear of the grid! who will win this one at a great track which is set to be a great evening?Shoot Out ‘13 Shoot Out 13 has certainly been a great championship so far, seeing drivers struggle to be on pace at the wide variety of tracks that host the vital qualification rounds. Multi-championship winner DanSkin on pole in his trusty RCE, current WoS champion Robin on his outside. Which one of the front row will win this one? Both drivers are on top form coming into this race, and they will both take some stopping! Row 2 will see hard hitter TomD and one of our UKDirt young guns Kane #238. Tom seems to be plodding along nicely in this late part of the season, however it will take more than that to win this race. With Kane on his outside he will need to be quick off the line as Kane could really do some damage if given the chance. All eyes on row 2! Row three sees two new members to the UKDirt family, Wardieee and Ryan Simpson. Both Ward and Simpson can stand proud with multiple championship wins across many formulas including the BriSCA F2 stockcars, yet none of them have managed to find their way to a BriSCA F2 championship here on UKDirt. Both have settled well in this shootout series however in recent weeks Simpson hasn't been racing due to issues in the garage. Will these be fix in time for this Shoot Out Finale? Looking further down the grid we see so many big names looking to make a big impact on this race, HamsterJR, Drumbstick, Bailey, Dave, Stox and Nezza. All of these drives can quite easily take the Orange and Silver checks, all of them with more than enough experience to win. Will we see one of the front row drive off to an easy victory, or will the likes of Drumbstick and Bailey work their way to victory in this 10 lap dash? 24 cars bumper to bumper, 10 racing laps, one Shoot Out champion! Let’s go racing!
