TOPIC:

After tonights racing at Kokomo and the past few races, myself and some others have noticed some over aggressive racing by a lot of drivers including myself and this is mainly caused by the amount of drivers going for so few of spots. We had about 40 cars for 10 spots at Kokomo and it cause situations with 1 guy transferring in certain races which led to some bad racing. VLR has come up with a slight tweak in the format that could change starting next season and wanted some opinions on it here.

Format:

-Top 25 drivers in points are locked into the EVENT. (If not all top 25 drivers show, the next guy will take the spot, so basically the top 25 in points that are at the event are locked in)

-Qualify like we have done for awhile.

-The top 5 drivers in qualifying from the group of guys NOT in the top 25 in points (go or go home cars) will make the field filling in the final 5 spots, making it a 30 car field.

-Unfortunately the rest of the cars do not race.

-Next seasons first 3 races would use this current seasons top 25 in points!

I think this could help some of the racing issues possibly and give the guys more of a chance at making the race and not have to win a race to transfer. Would like some feedback please.

Thanks, Wheel

So lemme see if I got this right.....


If you are not top 25 in points, you are one of however many cars that are left trying to make it into those last 5 slots thru qualifying and qualifying time alone right?

Yes. If you arent in the top 25 before the night, remember not all 25 might not show, so there could be some open spots in the top 25.

Got it.

what about slow cars like me an jmac . we try an stay out of the wayXD lol

I would like everyone in the world to race VLR. But at some point there needs to be a limit in my opinion. I would rather have quality over quantity as far as racing goes. It would be very simple. If you are quick enough you will easily race and if you arent then you will not. Its also easier to be in the top 25 than you think...

DTR2 is officially dead. Leagues are now turning away drivers due to too many cars showing up. Wheel posted this for ideas, if you disagree with it let us know and we won't do it next season. I don't really have an opinion as I hope I never qualify outside the top 25

i mean yeah the crashing in every league is rediculous(not saying i dont cause them, because i know i do) so i guess its good VLR is finally limiting who can run or not. i think alot of leagues should do this. except for rookies

Qualfying is for Queers

not that dtr2 is dead its fact that ppl getting tired of GAMERS comming in and runing racing for real guys and gals that race sooner or later something must give but what ever u guys do ill support it even if i dont run vlr much

run 2 a a1 points 100 98/96
94/92/90/88/86/84 a2 92/90/88/86/ and so on

As long as we're throwing around formats here, I think it would be cool if some series did a format something like the Black Diamond Nationals.

Say there's 40 cars entered, then do qualifying normally. Then split the field into two by even and odd numbers in qualifying. So there would be heats between the people who qualified 1,3,4,5,7,9,.. etc and separate heats who qualified 2,4,6,8,10 etc. Then just do the normal format for each group, and do like a 30 lap feature for each group. Then the top 5 from each separate feature move on to a final 40 lap feature to see who's the best of the best, all points aside

INLINE SCORING:

If one server is used all results are scored from finishing positions from that server.

If 2 or more servers are used we will calculate race results using INLINE SCORING METHOD

All results from both servers will be used to get final race results,this means if we have 12 cars and place 6 in each server, every driver will be scored by the following

1-laps completed

2-total race time

3-fastest lap

*(any tie will be broken by fastest lap between tied drivers,if still tied then they will remain that way)



example using 12 cars:


ALL 12 cars start the Feature race ,but with 6 in 2 different servers
ALL cars who complete all laps and are NOT lapped are eligible to win...
ALL cars will be scored in each feature from spots 1 thru 12

example using 6 cars in 2 servers

server 1
1-matt runs 25 laps and race time is 5.55
2-bill runs 25 laps and race time is 5.56
3-tom runs 25 laps and race time is .5.58
4-cory runs 24 laps and race time is 5.22
5-neal runs 17 laps and race time is 3.45
6-josh runs 2 laps and race time is 45 seconds

server 2
1-john runs 25 laps and race time is 5.59
2-mark runs 25 laps and race time is 6.10
3-sam runs 23 laps and race time is 4.44
4- oscar runs 23 laps and race time is 4.34
5- wally runs 23 laps and race time is 4.23
6- vic runs 17 laps and race time is 3.40

Feature winner is matt with race time of 5.55


from these 12 cars we score feature like this based on Laps and Race Time
1-matt --fastest 25 laps done at 5.55
2-bill
3-tom
4-john
5-mark
6-cory
7-sam
8-oscar
9-wally
10-vic
11-neal
12-josh

**Tom actually is scored ahead of server 2 winner john cuz they both ran all 25 laps, however Tom ran his 25 faster despite finishing 3rd in his server

This is only the way around having ALL drivers make A feature on race night,DTR doesnt allow us more than 10 as you no without warp and lag issues wrecking the racing in multi player.
Every driver each week regardless of how many enter will have a chance to win each and every feature run on race night with this format

How about like an A B C format. Say u have 30 cars qualified. 1-10 is in A-Main 1 11- 20 is A Main 2 21-30 A-Main 3. The higher the main ur in the more pnts u get. Will create for some great racing also with it being 10 cars closest together.

IF 30 is the magic number then why not just take the top 30 qualifiers for the night when there is more than 30 cars!!!!

I am a rookie and slow at 99%of the tracks but I think I could even qual in the top 30. Hell I even think J-Mac could even pull it off!!!!!lol
and if you dont make qual. then you dont make the show no taggin on the back.

blaze that how oakshad does thear bommers u could take so many from each heet and if any room left highest in eather points goes in a 1 or2

odd numbers 1-19 feature 1...even 2-20 feature 2..same points format for both features. qualifiers 21-30 run their own feature winner gets 1 less point than last in features 1 and 2. just an idea..could be expanded on. maybe pole winner 1 extra pt....invert top 4 maybe? idk just throwing ideas out.

Not a fan of 2 features, Its cool having the 10 best all in one feature. All this idea is an overreaction anyway cuz Wheel misses an amain. Keep it the same.

This has nothing to do with me Jim. I made the feature actually but gave my spot up. This is for the racing in general and for people who tag the back of a C and only 1 transfers.

instead of taking the 5 to make the 30 from qualifying,lock in the top 24 and let the other people race their way into the final 6 spots.like the play in games for NCAA tourney.At least theyd get to race something that night.
