Changes: Touring Car Championship

Revision as of 00:00, 11 September 2019

The Touring Car Championship is the league's Touring car series. It is heavily orientated towards TCR's series concept and thus mirrors the usual TCR championships and weekend schedules, which contains a 10 minute Qualifying, followed by three 15-minute races. As it's the pinnacle of IVRC it will be held every Saturday of a IVRC TCC meeting.

The series features the closest competition of the IVRC. Only the best will succeed in the Touring Car Championship!

History

Touring Car Championship (2018–present):

The foundation of the IVRC included several bids and thoughts about the series to go for, ranging from open-wheeler series over multi-class racing to touring cars. However, in late January 2018, the decision was made towards a TCR-inspired series. The series was a huge initial success, despite competing with various other leagues. IVRC looks forward to keep the momentum and improve even further in 2019.

Marc Stwerka won the drivers' championship, while MPG Competition secured the inaugural teams' championship.

Race weekend

On Saturdays, drivers have a 10-minute qualifying session. The qualifying session decides the grid order for race one, run over a time of 15 minutes. After short breaks in between, the same procedure repeats for race two and three, which cover the same distance.

Point system

2018

Both races will be run with a scoring system similar to the one used in Formula One:

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
Points	25	18	15	12	10	8	6	4	2	1

2019 onwards

All races will be run with a scoring system similar to the one used in WTCR:

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th	13th	14th	15th
Points	25	20	16	13	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1

The maximum number of points a driver can score at any round will be 75.

Each driver has to drive 50% of race distance to be eligible for points.
