Okay I'm a little confused how people will be determined as F1-F2-F3 for the overall series?

Things don't seem to tally up. For example on first meeting I got 172 points and got put as F2, yet people with 178 points including people that beat me at first meeting are on the F3 list. And people with over 190 on F2 and not F1.

I'm just confused. Not a chance I can compete with people that got over 190 and are on F2.

How have peoples F ratings on the results page (http://www.newburyrcclub.co.uk/mkwchamp.htm) been selected? As it does not tally up with:

a) What people entered as (I entered as F3 for example)
b) What it says on site that first meeting result counted

Any help un-confusing me would be great! Anyway can't wait for this race.

Thanks

Hope this helps:

The F1 drivers are the sponsored drivers (those who receive support from a manufacturer or retailer).

F2 and F3 drivers are not determined by what they entered as, but on performance in the previous meetings. The actual gradings are being determined by MK Racing, the sponsor who is putting up the prizes.

Gradings are not determined by points scored - you'll have to ignore the points. Because of the difference in the number of entries, the guy who came last in 4WD in Round 2 will score higher than someone who nearly half way up in Round 1. It's not that guy's fault other people didn't show for Round 2.

Mark Knight is going to do a final tweak to the F gradings this morning - hopefully to everyone's satisfaction

Kev.

Thanks for clearing that.

I'm dead busy, hence had to rush off. But thought I should quickly type a huge thanks to Newbury RC Club and MK Racing and an awesome series!

[mobile chicane]

good days racing until my main drive shaft shatterd


I did wonder why my 4wd was acting like a 2wd

[AmiSMB]

Giles you should have done what Preddy did and run his 2wd for the 4wd final!!! Thanks again to all the crew involved for a fantastic mini series. Lets hope they do something again soon.
