I have a question about Promotion and Relegation. The initial post says
"The fastest drivers in each division are promoted to the next higher division the following month. On the other hand, the slowest drivers in each division are relegated to a lower division."
What happens if you are the slowest person in the division and have raced every week. Does the mean you will be relegated instead of a driver who has not raced at all that month?
Also is the slowest decided based on total points or average per race night?
One last thing. Since promotion/relegation is only happening every month now does it make any sense to promote the top 3 and relegate the bottom 3?
No, if someone hasnt raced at all, then they will not be eligible for promo/regulation. I'm pretty certain that you need to race no less then three sundays to be eligible for either.
Now for the rally talk from earlier. I actually looked into the whole rally thing pretty in depth. And here is what I came up with:
Magic Lap: That format is about the only realistic way you can run a staged rally set up (staged rally is what you would normally see in the WRC or Rally America, basically a time trial.) Unfortunately this format has some`hiccups to work out.
What I call RallyX: This is the format I was considering running. Its ran much like he rally even like you see in the xgames and the newly formed
Global Rallycross. I planned on running two classes of 4 cars, with a total of 8 racers on course, on custom courses as well as Eiger, and perhaps Nurburgring for a tarmac stage. The Custom courses are at least 4.8 miles long and 2 laps. I had an open class for true WRC cars and a 450 class. I also considered other possible pp and drivetrain restrictions. Anyway. I figured this would proved a, the most fun, since 4 cars in a rally race is a lot of fun! B, it wouldnt be so many people that corners just become a huge mob of wreckage. after the first corner, the two groups should be separating. C, well, someones damn bunnies took off with that thought, so till I see him on the course, I probably wont remember it.
But, take it as a base and build off it. I actually have a more in depth thought out process for this if your interested, I could type up a quick draft when I get some free time, for your use. Whom ever you were that started the chat. Oh, C. I got that damn bunny! I tested the times between an untuned wrc subie, not sure which, then I did a subie tuned at 450, and I believe a focus or a 206 tuned to 400, and something that was ff and really small for 350. open to 400 can finish 10 miles within the time limit. 350 could not. this was tested on a custom track I built for this idea league.
