Twisted Metal Tour 2011

Now that we have all learned to race like gentlemen, it's time to throw those lessons out the window.  The Twisted Metal Tour 2011 will be raced with the Whelen Open Wheeled Modified series where the focus is to destroy and win.  Here's how this one works:

Each race night will be broken into the following sessions:

Practice: 30 minutes
Qualifying*
Happy Hour: 10 minutes
Heat 1: Typically run at 5% Race length, No Damage*, 1x tires/fuel
Qualifying*
Heat 2: Same as Heat 1
Qualifying*
Main: Usually run at 10% Race Length, No Damage*, 1x tires/fuel

* On select tracks

Some of the tracks we run are not configured correctly for AI cars to qualify.  For these tracks, we will skip qualifying.  I will also make sure there is no pit road speed and pass those updated ini files to the host if I do not host.  Damage will only be on for specific tracks which require it to keep issues from occurring.

No Yellows.  Keep in mind that even though there is no pit road speed, it's still possible to receive a black flag (though we'll try to help with that).  You can also wreck your car with no damage on.  How?  Blown engines or broken parts, flipping over, or getting stuck on objects.  The only is that one is more likely to recover from them.

15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points to the top 10 finishers.
One additional point will be awarded to each driver that leads a lap. One additional point will be awarded to the driver who starts on the pole position.  3 additional points are awarded to the winner of each main event.

All humans will be on the same team.  Speaking of our team...
Here is Squeaky Clean Racing.  You may notice some subtle adjustments to the marketing on each of these brands that integrate them better into the mindset of this series.

We'll tour 7 tracks starting on 1/4/12 and racing weekly on each Wednesday.  See the Current Season Stats page for details.  Now, let's go break some stuff.
