Race format and scoring
Two Cars line up in the same lane to start the race to allow the Chase to start at the top.
This is a round robin, street rally where drivers can earn points.
Make it around the 1st turn is 1 point, 2nd is 2 points and the 3rd is 3 points. Just making it to the bottoms is 4 points. Crossing the finish line is 5 points. Crossing the finish first is 6 points. If you cross first and your bounce back prevents your opponent from crossing the finish line, the lead car steals that point. If you are the chase car, passing your opponent earns 1 extra point.
After 3 chase wins or 150 points, you earn the right to test the top 10 list.
Race host has final decision in all races.
Bracket seeding will be random.
Penalties/DNF
Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.
If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.
Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.
Discussion
Sounds interesting. I may have to get something built up for this. All castings are fair game? Tooned, real, fantasy?
sounds dope you can count on me
Cool track! I'll definitely sign up.
I don't have any lube though... :\
- You don’t need the lube, just send your fastest car — EnochEl
- Grind up a #2 pencil, then use the graphite to lube the wheels. Work it down into the wheels with a small paintbrush. — SpyDude
- Thanks for the tip, but I don't have time to do that before I send them in. I'll keep that in mind for future races though! — Rook_Handler
This looks pretty sick, will need to make up a couple cars for this one.
I'm definitely in!
