Right the points system;
If you look back at our previous events, the gaps between people have been quite large. By reducing the difference in points for places will allow for events to be tighter with no single driver running away with the championship.
I understand Totallyteckles point about not bothering to push for that extra place but it still means more points by gaining places. It will keep the pressure on all drivers to compete and do as well as possible in each race and make every point all the more vital. Im sure all drivers will always want to push for that extra place, even if it is for one extra point, it could be the difference between 1st and 2nd come the end of the event.
GTC SC final standings had a gap of 38 points between 1st and second, Kart Season 2 was a 37 point gap and ISF RM Championship was 36 points.
It also makes qualifying even more important for the bonus point to be awarded.
This new system was looked at largely due to the Pro Series, no one wanted a driver to be miles in front only halfway through the season. We can envisage people not attending if they think they have not got a chance to get near the top.
Also by reducing the gap if a driver cannot attend a race one night, again the gap although it will grow, will not be as dramatic as it has been.
Hope everyone understands the reasons we have decided to implement this, its not a decision that has been taken lightly.
There have been a lot of rule changes to make the new Pro Series "Fit" to how we want the league to run. We have tried to minimise the disruption to the other series but we do need rules and regs that will cover every aspect of our league and the points is one aspect that has to be changed.
I believe this will benefit the league and I will only approve things that I believe will ensure a positive change to how things are done.
So the new points are:
Pole (where applicable) 1 bonus point
- 15
- 14
- 13
- 12
- 11
- 10
- 9
- 8
- 7
- 6
- 5
- 4
- 3
- 2
- 1
- 0
I had missed off the last few, again my apologies. Yes Gray, you will be getting more points from 1st September! With GT6 and stable lobbies, we hope to see 16 on the grid.
I dont know if you noticed, but some of the rule updates last night came from the 2 IRFs we received this week. Sometimes we dont have all the answers and the only way we learn is through incidents occurring. We cant think of every scenario that is ever likely to happen so we learn as we go and try to cover as many aspects as possible.
