explanation of the vehicle decals used by the league

Introduction

The league uses a custom decal system that assigns decals to the vehicle of each driver in the league, based on that driver's career and season stats (as tracked by the league's results database).  This page displays each decal (or category of decal, as some are generated procedurally) and explains both its meaning and the details of its assignment.

 

Championship Decals

 

Driver Championship

This is assigned to the vehicle of the reigning Driver's Championship (DC) winner.  It remains on that driver's vehicle for the duration of the current season (i.e. until the next DC winner is determined).

This is assigned to the vehicle of the reigning Driver's Championship (DC) 2nd place finisher.  It remains on that driver's vehicle for the duration of the current season.

decal_gmwc_template.png

This is assigned to the vehicle of any driver who is the reigning champion of any of the 5 GMWC Season Cups. The 'pie' will have each region filled that corresponds to the cup in which the driver is the reigning champ. Going clockwise, the cups are: Fangio, Senna, Clark, Andretti, Brabham. The decal remains on that driver's vehicle until such time as they are no longer the reigning champion for any cup.

 

Special Event Championships

The league season is interspersed with events that are (generally) independent from the primary driver and team championship schedule.  These events may be related to one another, or merely be isolated 'special'  events.  Such events are assigned one or more categories.    The winner of these events (or series if that's how they're organized) is awarded the decal that corresponds to each of the categories assigned to the event(s).

decal_enduro_1.png

This is assigned to the vehicle of the reigning Enduro Champion.  It remains on that driver's vehicle until the completion of the next enduro special event/series.  If the event is conducted as a multi-class event, then a decal is awarded to the winner of each class.
