Manufacturer Showcase

by David Hostetler [modified 2009-01-18 12:45] [posted 2008-02-04 22:44]

Description

This format is typically used as the first event of a new season.  It consists of a sequence of identical, short, races, each one dedicated to a single Manufacturer/Team.  The catch is that every driver has to drive that team's factory vehicle for that race.  The races are assigned according to last season's TC standings, followed by new teams, alphabetically.

Schedule

  1. drivers meeting (~5 minutes at the start of the event)
  2. sprint races, one for each manufacturer registered for the season (note that there must be at least one representative for the manufacturer/team in attendance)

Sprint Races

  • a short, timed, qualifying session (~10 minutes)
  • standing start
  • a fixed length race lasting about 10 minutes (the lap count for the race is adjusted according to track length)
  • the results of each sprint contribute to the league rolling rankings
  • damage is set to 100%
