The Mello Yello Duels are this weekend, so what a way to kick of a series. The starting grids for both Duel races will be determined by single car runs, and the scheduling for this weekend will look like this:
Friday, January 4th
8:00-9:00 p.m. EST: Single Car Qualifying Session 1

Saturday, January 5th
7:00-8:00 p.m. EST: Single Car Qualifying Session 2
8:00-9:00 p.m. EST: Mello Yello Duel 1
9:00-10:00 p.m. EST: Mello Yello Duel 2

For those unfamiliar with the Duel format, the single car qualifying results directly set up the starting grids for both duels, with drivers qualified 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and potentially so forth running in the first duel, and then the even numbered positions will run in the second duel. The fastest two cars from single car qualifying are locked in to start on the front row, as long as they take the checkered flag in their respective duels. The other drivers in the field have the ability to use the duels to improve their starting positions for the CRC 400 on January 12th. Additionally, the pole sitter for the CRC 400 will earn 1 bonus point, and the winners of each duel will earn 3 bonus points towards the CRC 400. That said, who's ready?

Willow Springs was surprisingly subdued. Next two races are expected to not be the case. Hope to see everyone show up for oval race #2 of the season.

A couple of rule changes will also be implemented, one of which deals directly deals with Special Stage Route X.
-Due to the length of SSRX, cautions will be handled differently for races at that venue. Damage will be set to light instead of heavy, and the field will go back to racing at the nearest timing loop once the field has bunched back up. Drivers that receive damage, or are the clear cause of the caution, will start at the rear of the field on the restarts.
-Bonus points will be handled differently for drivers in the Chase for the Cup once the Chase begins. For the five drivers competing in the Chase, bonus points will not be awarded per race for objectives like leading a lap, leading the most laps, or pole position. Drivers outside of the Chase will continue to receive those bonus points as normal.
-Calendar has been adjusted following a vote on venues on CRC's Discord server. Bathurst will be replacing Fuji on the calendar, with the race happening on March 9th.

Disappointed I only found this series now. Don’t know if you’re still taking entries but looks like there’s still room looking at the results. I should be able to make most of the remaining races, probably starting with the 9th.

Spoiler: Updated Points Standings

We are back to racing this weekend at Red Bull Ring Short. It's a non-tuning event, so hopefully the racing will be a bit closer this time around. Also apologies for the lack of actual race reports this time around. Been working a lot recently and I haven't had the time to make the fancy tables.
