Administrators Bill Strong Posted January 11, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I am getting messages and emails. ChampCar will NOT provide the required MAZDA decals. You have to get them via Mazda Motorsports. We will not have these decals at races. So plan ahead please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to run mazda approved decals, 22inch and 16inch, only in 3 approved colors. I already had the artwork in my system so i just made them myself. In a past life i thought you could make money doing vinyl decals... i was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABR-Glen Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I thought that payout was for end of season standings, not per race, am I reading it wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takjak2 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 So we submitted our 2nd place A-class (3rd overall) results from VIR North 12-hour to Mazda and have been told that Champcar payout is only for year-end points championship by class. So, question to Champcar staff via @Bill Strong and @chisek, what constitutes the points championship for classes? The Champcar rulebook section for NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS SYSTEM does not specify classing. Will Champcar calculate the points championship per class so that we can collect Mazda contingency at the end of the season? Will that still be based on overall finishing positions (A), or will finishing position in class be used to calculate year-end points champions by class (B)? Mazda specifies a separate bonus for an overall finish. Option A would mean the results within Class points would be heavily dependent on the results of cars outside of the class. It would be possible (likely) that a car that might otherwise dominate its class's competition be ranked lower due to cars in other classes finishing ahead of it in its particular races. (B) is obviously preferred. Again, Mazda specifies four races for full payout. Will Champcar continue to factor only two finishes (C) or use a system that includes 4 or more races to calculate class points to satisfy the Mazda payout (D)? The current champcar national system would allow one team with a single weekend's performance to collect a 1st place payout reduced by 80% for competing less than 3 races over another team that may have completed the full four races. Example: Car #11 wins both days of a double 7 and competes no other events. Car #22 wins 2nd place the same weekend and 3rd place in another two events. With the current system (C) car #11 would win 1st and be paid out 20 "points" from Mazda while car #22 might finish 2nd place in the championship and be paid out 70 points from Mazda. With a compliant system that uses results from 4 or more races (D), the 1st place car would earn all 100 points available from Mazda*. (D) is obviously preferred. Will the championship points system weigh the Championship event at Sonoma separately or differently (E) or will championship points consider all races equally (F)? The Champcar rule book currently seems to say (F) for the points system, which is preferred for determining the points championship for means of contingency payout, but the current "National Championship" is determined by the points entering the Championship Event plus the finishing position in the event (E). This weighs that single event highly and would make it effectually mandatory for any Mazda team hoping to earn a contingency payout. Mazda Contingency specifies that the point championships in ChampCar will culminate at Sonoma Raceway in mid-February, 2020. The Champcar rulebook does not actually define either the start or end of the season. Even though season is mentioned in a few other places as well. When does the points season, ending in February 2020, begin? *Mazda awards prizes in a separate points system that can be redeemed for parts. 100 points is worth about $1,800 TLDR: Winning Mazda team, submitted to Mazda, don't know how it's going to work. Would like to see options B, D, and F implemented. Need answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
