Read this: (By the way, it's in the first post, along with all of the other series information).
This is something we hope will set us apart from any other race series. This idea was brought up by a current driver and has been a major hit. For Season 5 we will be going from 2 wildcard races up to 3. Also the same as last season wildcard picks will be at random and any driver who is full-time will be eligible for the wildcard lottery pick.
ARL WILDCARD RACE Rules and Regulations:
The following guidelines will be implemented ASAP to bring some structure and regulation concerning the ARL Wildcard Races. As you all know, these 3 events hold significant importance and value during the ARL season, as double championship points are on the line.
- Wildcard Races are an exclusive event for ARL members.
- There will be 2 Wildcard lobbies one Bronze and one Silver lobby
- Grid will be based off participation and points in a reverse grid.
- Grid will be based off of total points for the season least in points to most in points for all full-time drivers and most in points to least in points for part-time drivers
- Confirmation for this race is a MUST to insure we get started on time and have no last minute changes to the scoresheet and grid order.
- Race will start at 10 central this season make sure your in the lobby as early as possible.
- all ARL Gr.3 lobby settings apply to the wildcard
A. Driver must select a car class from GR.X GR.1, GR.2, GR.3, GR.4 or N200 and up for the group to run
B. Car must be equal to or less than 1,000,000 credits
C. Track selection is the same as stated in ARL (everything is open except Nurburgring 24H, Nurburgring Nordschleife, & dirt tracks)
D. Wildcard must be picked no later than 10:30 P.M. (central time) on the Tuesday of wildcard race weekend. If a combo has not been picked by that time the choice will then move to the next driver on the list
E. Try to be as specific as you can when making your choice. (Example: full name of car, full name of track, time of day, conditions).
F. Reverse grid (last full-time driver in total points is on pole - leader in total points last on grid of full-time drivers)
G. Double Points night for every driver who completes the race (along with the DNF Rule)
H. No qualifying just an extended practice till race starts
I. All drivers need to be in room no later than 9:45 central for grid sorting purposes.
J. If there is an instance we need more than 1 room we will divide using excel to randomly select drivers to rooms (only way I see it being fair to everyone)
K. Races will last 1 hour.
