Rapido Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Welcome to Round 3 of the ChampCar Sim Series. We're back on the East Coast this time, tackling the deceptively tricky South course at VIR. Grid space is at a premium and there is a short lap with plenty of potential for traffic to disrupt the best laid plans of racing men. Please note, this is our first event with a minimum license requirement. For further information, please refer to the forum post on the subject or ask in this thread!

Wyatt Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 So I just wanted to make sure of something. If you switch cars week by week you will only get points for that car? The points follow you and your car, not just you. In other words if I went to a Street Stock for a race I would be basically starting over in the points? Thank you.

n0m4d Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 @wyatt The most detailed explanation of the points system is here and it doesn't seem to explicitly address your question. It kinda implies the Driver is accumulating the points regardless of how they were earned and there is one winner in each division (Original and Pacific) but that may just be my take. Because there are two scoring systems for each race I can see how that could be interpreted differently. I'm not in any contention for anything so I have no skin in this game other than hoping those who swap between cars week to week get comfortable with the car before the race rather than during the race.

Rapido Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 @Wyatt points are only dependent on driver, they can be scored in either car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapido Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks to all who showed up tonight, it was a busy race on a tight track but I thought the standard of driving was generally excellent. Lapped traffic was generally easy to deal with and the Street Stocks showed some good judgement in when to make a pass. Congrats to Wyatt and David for their class wins, looking forward to the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 well the server is crawling. Started the download at 8pm. Tried to start it this morning but was surprised to find that my isp push and update to my modem at made my WiFi router incompatible and had to make a run to Fry’s. On top of that oculus fracked up something epic and I needed to force a patch in. So yeah I missed the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
