Sprints & Feature

by David Hostetler [modified 2010-08-23 21:50] [posted 2008-02-04 22:44]

Description

This format is the main format used for our championship season events.  It consists of a group of sprint races, conducted back-to-back, followed by a lengthy feature race which contributes to the seasonal championship standings.

The sprints serve the critical role of granularizing the session into a reasonable number of opportunities for the drivers, thus mitigating the frustration associated with mishaps or failures, since the entire race session isn't invested in a single event.  The feature race enables an experience that has more of the trimmings of a real-life race (pit stops, etc.), and to provide an opportunity to employ deeper racecraft and strategy.  Also, the feature races are the means by which we conduct our seasonal championship scoring - the Driver Championship (DC) and Team Championship (TC).  Note that for the purposes of rolling rankings, the available point pool for the feature race is generally equivalent to that of any given sprint, so there is no added 'penalty' for doing poorly in a feature race.

Schedule

  1. drivers meeting (~5 minutes at the start of the event)
  2. 3 sprint races (time permitting - if delays occur, one or more sprints may be dropped to accommodate the feature race)
  3. 1 feature race

Sprint Races

  • a short, timed, qualifying session (~4-6 minutes, depending on track length)
  • 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%

Feature Race

  • a 10 minute qualifying session with no lap limit
  • a 10 minute warmup/intermission
  • formation lap followed by a standing start
  • a fixed length race of ~45 minutes in duration (the lap count for the race is adjusted according to track length)
  • the time scale is adjusted so that the race will transpire within 2-6 hours of game time
  • like the sprints, the results of the race contribute to the league rolling rankings
  • unlike the sprints, championship points for the associated series are awarded based on the results of the race
  • damage is set to 25%
