Race course will be run backwards (counterclockwise).

For this weekends round 5 race at the Grange Motor Circuit, Tri-C race we will be running  different format,
Note the race day format change -

 
We will have 2 Practice sessions, Green White Checkered qualifying, then 2 heat races, and your main. 
 
Your qualifying time will set the grid for BOTH heat races (if you qualify 4th you will start 4th in both heats regardless of your finishing position in the first heat)
 
For the main we will set the grid using your heat race finishes combined. The point system used for the heat races will be as follows
 
1st you will score        0
2nd you will score       2
3rd you will score       3
4th you will score       4 
5th you will score       5 and so on
 
You will score the number of points for your finishing position, with the exception of winning the heat, If you win you will score a 0.
 
Your total points for both heats will set the grid for the main, lowest on pole.  In the event of a tie in heat race points the tie breakers will be:
 
1st Tie Breaker - Qualifying time (best qualifying time wins the tie) if there is still a tie
2nd Tie Breaker - Best heat race finish (either heat, best finish wins the tie) if there is still a tie
3rd Tie Breaker - the best finish in the 2nd heat
 
This format will reward consistent drivers, it will make every session important from qualifying through the heats with the payoff in the main.
 
I hope everyone has fun
