Rules: Semi Finals: Where a driver cannot race, a gap will be left on the grid and a reserve added at the back. Semi Finals are 20 car races, 20 laps, run before the meeting, with the top 10 qualifying for the World Final. Semi Final points: 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5. Consolation Semi Final: First priority to all members who did not qualify through the Semi Final. Second priority to the remaining members in qualifying points order. Not open to defending World Champion. Consolation Semi Final is 20 car race, 16 laps, run before the meeting, with the top 4 qualifying for the World Final. Consolation Semi Final is not point scoring. World Final: Grid order is Semi Finalists, followed by Consolation Semi Finalists and then defending champion (if seeded onto rear). Pole is decided by a coin toss between the Semi-Final winners (and then the grid alternatives inside/outside behind them). World Final is 24 (or 25) car race, 25 laps, run before the meeting. World Final points: 200, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5. The winner has the option to retire from the meeting, or take only 50 points and continue racing the meeting. The 2017 World Champion is entitled to the gold roof until the 2018 World Final. Good luck to all, please let us know if you will be unable to race your semi final.

I don't mean changing for this year and screwing everybody up I just mean for future or do a poll even to see when is best for everyone but I doubt it is when it is now as people are often away

DanSkin Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Posted July 27, 2017 With regard to other comments above on scheduling / fixtures. Before each season quite a bit of effort goes into sorting out the fixtures - we try to follow real life as best possible and also maintain a few 'gaps' so that we're not back to back to back on championships/big meetings/etc. For the European and World Finals I have normally tried to schedule sympathetically for any Dutch members (or even UK members) who maybe travelling or making long weekends of the real life European or World Final events. Towards the end of the season we normally have Shootout rounds, next years WQRs, Tarmac Masters, World of Shale and the World Final itself to fit in - so if you start working backwards from the end of the year you're towards the limit of how late we could have Consolation and Semi-Finals anyway (in my opinion). Just an insight, maybe helpful.
HGR#777 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 Yep cool just thought I'd bring it up see whats what

Wardieee Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Just to add to this, two years ago I missed 2 major championships. One in f2s and one in minis, both of which were fixtures I had made. We certainly don't make the fixtures to 'sort ourselves out' unfortunately we try to offer the best fixtures to fix everyone's interests.
Simpson653 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 What's the rules on novice cars for a semi final? Cheers
CrashleyEngland846 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Hiya just some info for you lot I hardly raced all year last year only did a few meetings but I turned up to the world final meeting and still managed to get in as a reserve so I doesn't particularly matter if you race in it or not..... but that was only beacause I had quite a few WCQ Points
Boglehole Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 How does it work for us reserves? Turn up to the semi meetings and see if there is a space?
DanSkin Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Posted July 30, 2017 What's the rules on novice cars for a semi final? Cheers Novice skins will not be permitted in championship races (WQRs = OK, Semi-Final = OK, World Final = NO). How does it work for us reserves? Turn up to the semi meetings and see if there is a space? Yes, that's correct. I'm trying to update the lists above as people let us know they cannot race, so maybe reserves can have a bit of an idea.
