If you can get up to say 4.01 by the end of Monday, you'll get "instant" (after an hour or two) promotion & then get promoted post-midnight for being a D3.01.. meaning that effectively, for having 3 clean races, you'll go from being a R2.50 to a C2.01 I Am Not Worthy

No, because as well as the SR requirement, to go from D to C he also needs to have done four races or TTs in a series that counts towards his MPR, i.e. a D series (one of the GT Cup, Mustang Cup, or Skippies). You can skip levels using Fast Track but you need to get your SR above 4 and then 'race up' (or timetrial up); as a Rookie, that means one of those series I just listed for the road license. Then from C you can go straight to A by getting to C4+ then 'racing up' in a B series for four or more events and getting to 4.99, so two iterations of fast track take you from C4.99 to B4+ and then from B4+ to A.

Yeah, there's an extra agonising week 13 at this end of a full season, but if you get to SR 4+ you'll go to D in 'fast track', which happens within a couple of hours.

And you are... but it would happen without a couple of hours if you got your SR to 4+. At 3.x you have to wait until the pre-fasttrack rookie promotions run at the end of week 4, 8 or (next week) 13. I don't think they run them in week 12 because licenses aren't really important during week 13.

EDIT: if you do what it says and look at the Calender (under Events on the membersite menu bar thingy) it confirms that the final set of promotions for a season are done at the end of W13, not 12.

You don't have to wait for midnight; get time trialling. Wink

EDIT: or qualifying, that's actually faster for road series as long as you stay incident free as the SR factor for Q sessions is a half, whereas for TT it's only a third (IIRC) compared to racing.

Sorry for more questions but I managed to get Rookie 4.37 and now I am class D 3.37 Should I have lost that 1.0 or does it matter?

It's normal - read Dennis Grebe's excellent guide to SR if you really want to know.

You can't fast track this week because there aren't any series running that meet your MPR, but it's probably a good plan to get your SR up to 4 so that you have the choice when 2012S3 starts next week of either racing in a D-class series and going up to C or 'racing up' in a C class series and heading straight for B; the latter would open up things like the GT Challenge and Grand Am series, the fixed IndyCar series, the Radical and the Star Mazda championships too.

I can't see a compelling reason to worry about fast track to A because the only A road series is the F1 car, and getting to B4+ will let you race that anyway.
