The Racing Format
There will be 150 competitors from 24
Countries around the world.
Heats will be of 10 minutes,
refueling will almost certainly be required during heats. All
practice sessions will be timed. The second and third practice
sessions will be used to grade the drivers into groups of 50 and
these groups will each be seeded into 5 heats, so the fastest 50 in
practice will qualify together, as will the next 50 and the slowest
50, ensuring heats should be well
matched. Practice and Heats will use the staggered starting system.
Finals use the Christmas Tree or Bump
Up format. Top Qualifier automatically goes to pole in the A whilst
all other qualifiers are seeded into 2 streams of 7 car Sub Finals.
Even number qualifiers placed in one stream and odd number placed in
the other. These sub finals (20 minutes duration) run in reverse
order with the top 3 from each making up places 8 to 10 in the next
higher sub final in their stream. It is possible for the bottom
qualifier to progress through the Finals. The top sub finals in the
two streams will promote the first 4 drivers into the Final (60
minutes duration), plus the fastest 5th place driver. These pilots
join the TQ Pilot, for the Main Final.
