DRAG RACING CHALLENGE
This challenge is a recurring continuous challenge. There are no competition points and each round allows a total of 16 entrants.
The overall CHAMPION is decided simply by who has currently won the most total amounts of rounds.
OVERALL CHAMPION WITH 4 WINS @AirJordan
CHALLENGE RULES AND REGULATIONS
[ Round Rules found in post 2 ]
The specifications for each championship will be allocated by the winner of the previous round, the Racemaster will then take a max of 16 entries which will face off in a elimination series of races over the tracks selected distance.
A small write-up on all competitors and their strong or weak points and how close to the round brief each vehicle was as well as the vehicles fastest overall time (the time the car runs down the designated track with no penalties) time will be provided by the Racemaster. From these reviews the previous round champion picks their favorite car to become the CHAMPIONS PICK. The Champions Pick allows the winner to change/remove or add 1 of the regulations of the next round.
The Car with the fastest overall time is the Breakout Champion The Breakout Champion picks the track for the next round.
The winner of each round will be crowned CHAMPION for the round and will win the privilege of selection the next championships rules/specifications. If a single user wins a hat trick (3 in a row) on their third win they will not be able to select the rule set for the next round, that duty will go to the race master.
A track and distance must be selected for each round by the Breakout Champion and displayed in the rules for each round.
(tracks can be found at the bottom of this page)
How the racing system works.
The Racemaster will use the time the car runs on the nominated track.
A number will be allocated to each entrants car as it is received by the Racemaster in a PM from the Challenge host ( ie. the first car received would be number 1 the second car number 2 and so on)
The race order will always be as such: The number 1 car will race the highest number car, the number 2 car will race the second highest number and so on. Race’s will always be held in 2 lots if there is more than 9 competitors
Example
- Lot1
1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5
- Lot 2
9 vs 16
10 vs 15
11 vs 14
12 vs 13
If there is an un-even number of entrants a bye will be given to the number 1 car in the first round, the highest number car left after the first round, the lowest number car left after the second round, the highest number car left after the third round, the lowest number car after the fourth round, or until there is only two cars left to race.
Example
9 Total Entrants
Rnd1---------------- Rnd2 ------------------ Rnd3 ---------------- Final
2 vs 9 Win2 ------ 1 vs 2 Win2 ---------5 vs 8 Win5 --------- 2 vs 5 Win5 Champion: Car 5
3 vs 8 Win8 ------ 5 vs 7 Win5
4 vs 7 Win7
5 vs 6 Win5
1 Bye --------------- 8 Bye ------------------ 2 Bye
WARNING TRACKS DO EFFECT TIME AND THE CHALLENGE REQUIRES A LOT OF LUCK AND IN MOST CASES THE FASTEST CAR ON PAPER MAY NOT ALWAYS FINISH FIRST.
Before the race each car gets a random number generated from 1-10 each number is equal to the corresponding penalty
10=perfect run. time has .2 reduced from it
9=great run. time has .15 reduced from it
8=good run great reaction time. .1 reduced from it
7=good run nothing special .05 reduced from time
6 = average run. time remains standard
5 = average run time remains standard
4 = poor reaction time average run .05 added to time
3 = poor reaction and missed a gear .1 added to time
2 = poor reaction miss shifted every gear .2 added to time
1 = horrible reaction miss shifted and spun tyres .3 added to time

The challenge Host reserves the right to change Basic Ground Rules and Racing system rules at time. However any changes will be implemented after the current round.
Challenge Host
: @Darkshine5
The Challenge Host is me and this will not change. I am the person who writes the Overall rules, excepts the export files, scrutinizes entries, manages this page, settles disputes that may pop up from time to time, I am the Racemaster’s “Boss” recruiting/monitoring/advising/and firing if need be (this would only happen if the greater community has come to the conclusion that the job is not being carried in the spirit of fair competition. However I reserve the right to hand out discipline in the cases of racist/sexist/derogatory towards a individual in any way because of who they are not how they are behaving)
And most important of all I created the DRC.
Race Master
Racemaster @JohnWaldock
The Racemaster position is voluntary!
The Racemaster is the person who runs the races, writes the blogs, discusses the next round Rules with the Champion and Champions Pick, and handles questions about the rules and results.
[ It requires a lot of time and patience as well as linguistic skills, some math ability, and a vivid imagination. So please do not expect race results instantly as real life does affect us]
The Position is not permanent but it is completely up to the current a Racemaster as to how long they can/wish to hold the position. A Racemaster can retire only after the current round has been fully completed. If this is the case a new Racemaster will be found before the rules are revealed for the next round. When selecting a new Racemaster I will ask for volunteers willing to do the job (this can be as low as holding just one round the job has no minimum or maximum expected rounds) When you volunteer I will talk with you privately to be certain you are up to the job, I will then ask the greater DRC community if anyone has an objection (this needs to be valid and not just because you do not like someone) If there are no objections or I deem them irrelevant You will have the job. If more than one person volunteers I will put it to a vote which will be conducted in a 48h time span. If there are no volunteers or acceptable volunteers after 96 hrs of the previous Racemaster retiring I will take over the position until it is filled.
The Racemaster can be fired if they are found to not be competent and or are derogotive towards competitors and/or spectators.
