2019 GBRC - Privateer entries until the end of next week!

Post by **Miguel98** » 26 Dec 2016, 19:03

Yes, the 2nd season of the Group B Rallycross is back!

Drivers:
Full time drivers have to be ficticional - guest drivers can be real life drivers, but have to be entered only in their home race (e.g. Ekstrom can only be entered in Sweden).

Cars and Teams:
Manufacturer teams from last year have the option to carry on for 2019 - rest of the manufacturers are available for the taking.
Teams can either be manufacturer or privateers:
Manufacturer teams have a maximum of 4 cars per weekend, with 3 cars beeing full time and the other beeing a guest car. Privateer teams can have a maximum of 2 cars per weekend.
Only full season teams can score points for the teams championship, with only the full-time cars of each manufacturer team beeing available to score points. (guest drivers don't contribute for both championships)

Race Weekend:
Race weekends will be modified compared to 2018: we will have the same PQ system for every driver, with the top 24 going into the main heats. The rest of the drivers will go into the B-Division, to fight for the other 8 spots and for the B-Division points, Drivers will be split into heats of 8 drivers each, for both A-Division and B-Division.
In other words: Qualifying -> 24 advance -> Rest go to the B-Division -> 8 cars that go into the B-Division Final advance into the heats -> Quarter-Finals (4 heats of 8) -> Semi-Finals (2 heats of 8) -> B-Final -> A-Final

Points System:
Qualifying:
3 points for pole position
2 points for 2nd place
1 point for 3rd place
Quarter-Finals (for both A-Division and B-Division):
6 for 1st
4 for 2nd
2 for 3rd
1 for 4th
Semi-Finals (for both A-Division and B-Division):
8 for 1st
6 for 2nd
4 for 3rd
2 for 4th
1 for 5th
B-Final (for both A-Division and B-Division):
20 for 1st
15 for 2nd
12 for 3rd
10 for 4th
8 for 5th
6 for 6th
4 for 7th
2 for 8th
A-Final (for both A-Division and B-Division):
30 for 1st
25 for 2nd
20 for 3rd
15 for 4th
12 for 5th
10 for 6th
8 for 7th
6 for 8th
Fastest lap of each heat will get 1 point.

Manufacturer teams from last year have 72 hours to confirm their entries.

Usually I'm not a fan of taking the first offer that comes along, but the RS200 is clearly a good car, so....sold.

As there seems to be no other rallycross drivers currently employable, Opel by Larsen Racing System are offering the #40 seat to Fournier (the 'employ someone young and French' approach works for Citroen, so why not us?). It's not Citroen, but it is a seat in a manufacturer team.
