This Wednesday, March 1st kicks off the brand new SCARTS Road Course Series. Daytona's new road course circuit will be the host of the first race, a 400 km race comprised of 70 laps.
The Road Course Series will run in conjunction with Full Throttle Cup and will use the FT2015 road course cars all season long. This will be a pure points championship with three drop races. This means nine of the twelve races will count towards the championship and any additional races run are opportunities to improve upon a bad finish from earlier in the season allowing you to replace the points earned from your worst race with the points scored from the drop race. This system allows for missed races but if you intend to win the title, participating in every race will give you an advantage with opportunities to drop your worst races.
The series will follow a standard SCARTS points system as follows from positions 1-20: 1st-22, 2nd-19, 3rd-18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. There will be two bonus points available as well per race, one for leading the most laps in the race and the other in which multiple players can earn: leading at least 10% of a race. This brings the max points to 24 possible points per race.
I hope to see you all on Wednesday @ 21 GMT for the 400 km of Daytona!
