You know you can set the two events up individually on LM2?

Quite a way away?

[quicksilver384]

no no lol. the championship will be run with 2 races per race night. Only because its going to be shorter races. Race 2 will follow on right after Race 1.

I think he means as per this topic... Then they can both be linked to this topic and then imported and will both show up here.

[quicksilver384]

Ahh ok. My bad. I think H@L was going to be doing all the LM2 stuff.

Shouldn't your test race have included skins?

They can throw up problems. You had best invest some time checking each submitted skin for potential issues.

[spanner]

Rather than using the Dave gymer way of running things, how about some info on what you've got planned You've never formally said about wanting to run a fiesta series. Might be worth posting something up regarding tracks, race times etc. so people will see it and hopefully warn people early about running this?

If needs be we can have another quick test race to test the skins.

Ford Fiesta ST Championship proposal.

2 Races per race night.

I am looking to host this championship on Wednesday nights.

Race 1 = 10 Min practice session, 15 Min qualify session to determine the grid order for race 1 only, 15 lap race with NO manditory pit.

Race 2 = 10 Min Qualify to determine the grid order for race 2, 20 Lap race with mandatory pit for fuel and/or tyres. NO Practice session for race 2

Points will be awarded individually for both races (if possible) if not then combine the 2 races to give the points total for that week.

Easier to score them individually than combine them.

[quicksilver384]

That's what I want to do if possible.

[H@L9000]

Easier to score them individually than combine them.

I am not sure how to combine the scores in the LM2 system but, I can learn.

Would we need to put 2 separate event entries in LM2 for race race?

Yes I think that's the way. But give them the same date etc
