Hi everyone,
We are proud to announce that next season we will be trying a new championship format for the Thursday Open Wheel series. As voted on the forum, the new Indy Pro 2000 and the Formula 3 are still the most popular, but we were surprise to see other cars to get a good amount of votes! We have also taken into consideration all protests we received this season and all first lap review we had to look at. As a results of this, we are announcing that there will be 2 cars and 2 different series next season running at the same day/time slot! We will have an Elite series and an Amateur Series. Here are how series will be split.
PRL Elite Indy Pro 2000 Series or PRL Elite Formula 3 Series
[ul]
[li]If iRacing release the new Indy Pro next season, we will be using it for the Elite series. If not, it will be the Formula 3 again.[/li]
[li]This series will be broadcasted by GSRC and on the iRacing eSport Network.[/li]
[li]Race format will be the same.[/li]
[li]Entry fee of $10 as usual.[/li]
[li]Max. field of 33 drivers.[/li]
[li]Minimum 2000 iRating needed.[/li]
[/ul]
PRL Amateur USF17 Series or PRL Amateur Skip Barber Series
[ul]
[li]If iRacing release the new USF17 next season, we will be using it for the Amateur series. If not, it will be the Skip Barber.[/li]
[li]This series will not be broadcasted.[/li]
[li]Race format will be the same.[/li]
[li]No entry fee.[/li]
[li]Max. field of 40 drivers.[/li]
[li]Maximum iRating of 2400.[/li]
[/ul]
Important to note
[ul]
[li]A week before season start, we will be updating in the registration sheet the iRating of all drivers.[/li]
[li]If you have signed up for the Elite Series with 2100 iRating and you have dropped to 1900 a week before season start, you will be removed and refund.[/li]
[li]If you signed up for the Amateur Series with 2300 iRating and you have jump to 2450 a week before season start, you will be removed from the Amateur series with no chance of joining the Elite series.[/li]
[/ul]
We strongly think this new format will bring more competitive racing and will group faster drivers with same skills together. We know this will not please everyone, but we had to make such decision. We are seeing it as a trial. If it's not working, don't worry that we will adjust for 2020/S4.
We are bringing something new to our series moving forward! On week 7, we will now open the signups for the next season for current season drivers! Signups will be wide open to public on Week 9. With the amount of Premium members we have, we are also adding a new driver status category: Premium Member Returning.
Here is the new seat priorities order:
- Premium Member Returning
- Premium Member
- Returning Driver
- New Driver
To be considered a premium returning or returning driver, you must have attend 5 races out of 10.
You will receive this week an email with the link to the Google Form to signups for the Elite or Amateur series. The next season will start on June 18th and end on August 20th.
YOU MUST NOT GIVE THIS LINK TO ANYONE!
If we receive registration from drivers not racing in 2020/S2, they will be deleted from the sheet.
