S2 Season 16 to start 20 February

The Open Wheel Racing League will host the next Division A/B competition starting this month. Start tuning your Formula V8's, XR's and BMW's in preparation for S2 Season 16. It starts 20 February at Kyoto National rev and ends 8 May when the 6th round at Aston Historic decides the champions. The season uses the familiar and proven division format. New this season is that Div A sign up is open with the Div A licensed drivers to be the first to get the open spots in case the server is full. Div A will also use the same point system as Formula 1 in 2010. An addition to both Div A and Div B is the team championship. The top two of the team drivers in each competition

Drivers are free to sign up for the Div A or Div B event. The rules for participation in Div A are the same as we used in the second half of S2 Season 15. Only one server will be used. As long as 28 drivers or less sign up, all drivers are allowed to participate. If more drivers register their participation, the Div A licensed drivers are first added to the server. The then remaining spots go to the unlicensed drivers ordered by their fastest times.

Div A is limited to one server, but Div B will use as many servers as needed to make sure that all drivers that wish to participate can drive. Sign up is on a per-race basis. You may change between Div A and Div B during the season.

Team championship
In S2 Season 16 we will not only crown the best drivers but also the best teams. The two drivers scoring the most point for each team will count toward the team championship. More details will be announced later.

Div A license
As we are coming up to a new Div A/B season, the OWRL is pleased to grant 14 additional drivers a Div A license to reward their performance in S2 Season 16 and the MRT Cup. Those drivers either drove and score points in Div A, finished in the top 7 of the final Div B standings or ended on the final podium of the MRT Cup. Also added was the OWRL F1 champion of 2009. The drivers that now hold the Div A license can be found here. All new drivers have been informed by mail.

Div A will use the same point system as the F1 bosses recently decided on, which already was quite similar to what we were using. The winner still get 25 points but now points only go down to 10th position. Qualifying points are still held intact. No changes are made to the Div B point system. The exact point system for bot Div A and Div B can be found at the Div A/B info page.
