New rule closes up championship battle
The 15th Div A/B season in the Open Wheel Racing League will have an important rule change. In the championship, set to start next Saturday, drivers will have their worst result dropped. This means that the champion will be crowned by his best 5 races. The advantages of this rule is that drivers who are forced to miss one of the six races still have good chances of the championship. Drivers who race in all events still have an advantage as they can count out the event in which the accumulated the least amount of points.
The rule counts for both Div A and Div B. In Div B, where each of the six events consist of a sprint race and a main race, the points of both races are aggregated so each event counts as one. Div A, the division that races with the Formula V8, has one main race at each event.
S2 Season 15 starts on Saturday at 20:00 CEST at Blackwood GP Rev. For the first race in Div B the car of choice will be the Formula XR. Already over 60 drivers have entered over both divisions. New drivers are always welcome to start in Div B. Register at www.owrl.de and state that you can take part under Upcoming events.
