8 Route Rouvy challenge from 10/07/23 to 10/09/23 ( setting up the mini championship to run every Tuesday in August!)

My Tuesday and Thursday nights Race nights are fully Scheduled until the end of July so we have to start this one on the first Tuesday in August. I want to do these as a Mini Championship and i really want them to run on the same day of the week (like we did for the Vietnam championship) plus also make the nights worth getting set up and racing on so we have 2 races that are long enough for a single night race, then 3 nights will be double race nights.

The main 7pm (UK) races will be done at full points again ( so 100 for 1st, 96 for 2nd, 93 for 3rd, 90 for 4th then 2 point gaps per place downwards, but also starting with 1 point and increasing for any DNFs upwards.) The 2nd races ( That I have called “SPRINT” ) will have a reduced points award (starting from 1 point for the lowest place and increasing 1 point per place up to 3rd, then 2 point jump to 2nd and a 3 point jump to 1st)

So full and proper points for the main 7pm race, then some extra points if you stay on for the 2nd on those 3 nights we run the double events.

We are in holiday season so even I know its going to be hard to turn up for every Tuesday in August but the points are just there to add some extra spice/reason to try harder. So I don’t want to penalize the ones who miss the double headers by making full pointers for both races so that’s why I’ve made the 2nd race award less points.

But I will show the full league table on this championship (rather than the top 20 like I did in Vietnam) so at least you can see where you are in the league and who your closest “rivals” are.

*MUCKERS WORLDWIDE AVATAR KIT REWARDED TO ALL WHO FINISH THE LAST RACE*

*2LATE4ME race times to be included in the full leaderboard for the first time! These races are to be held 4 and a half hours later than the MUCKERS races as per usual, using the exact same route.

Anyway, time to move on to the race Schedule:

we are going to start off with one of the long routes and end with the other long route, then the 3 double headers in between.

If you stick to these race schedules. you will get the challenge completed well before it ends!!

hope you can schedule these into your race or training nights. Please remember, we call these “races” just so we have a set start time and everything is scheduled. Race if you want to, just complete the route if you want to!

cheers everyone and if you see anything wrong, please let me know.
