FRL officials have met and are ready to announce revised scoring rules for next season's championship points. The new scoring system will look like this:
Points will now be scored to account for 10 drivers instead of 8:
20, 16, 13, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1
Additionally, you will not earn points for every heat raced. Instead, your average position over the three heats will be tallied and your points will be scored based on the average position over the three races in the class being run. In the event of a tie for average position, the driver with the faster lap time will be scored ahead.
Lap times will not be scored for each heat. A driver's fastest lap time from all three heats will be taken for each driver and then scored from fastest to slowest. Also, there will no longer be a penalty for 'dirty' laps. With a larger number of drivers expected on the track, and due to Forza 4's strict rules on registering 'dirty' laps, this penalty will now be dropped. However, a bonus point will be given to each driver that leads a lap in any heat.
Your scoring breakdown will appear like this:
Heat 1: Position:
Driver 1 1
Driver 2 3
Driver 3 2
Heat 2: Position:
Driver 1 2
Driver 2 1
Driver 3 3
Heat 3: Position:
Driver 1 1
Driver 2 3
Driver 3 2
Fastest Laps (over all three heats)
Driver 1 1.29.750
Driver 2 1:31.500
Driver 3 1:29.950
Driver 1's average position over the three heats is 1.334, scoring him top spot and 20 points. Driver's 2 and 3 both average 2.334 over all three heats. However, Driver 3's best lap time is faster than Driver 2 and thus takes the 2nd position and 16 points.
With this system in place, emphasis will be placed on overall performance. In addition, scoring will be lower over the course of the season (drivers will not score into the 1000's as would happen on the old system).
