NKRA Grande Finals
29 th and 30 th of October at Llandow in South Wales
Racing over 2 days there are at least 4 heats and a 25lap final, winner takes home the coveted number 1 plate.
How Is It Scored ?
There are five qualifying rounds
The best four rounds will count towards the Regional Championships. In the event of a tie then the dropped score will come into play.
The Grand Final is held over two days – Saturday and Sunday
Start grid of Finals plus the race result added together. Start grid of the Finals scores: Pole 0 points; 2nd= points, 3rd = 3 points etc.. to last place starter.
'B' Finalists carry on from end of 'A' (eg. if 20 + 4 on grid in 'A' , then 'B' Final winner placed to back of 'A' scores 21; 2nd =22; 3rd = 23 4th = 24; 5th in 'B' Final scores 25; etc to last place)
Race Results score: 1st = 0 points; 2nd = 2 points; 3 = 3points & so on to last place finisher, non qualifying 'B' Finals carry on 1 point after last place in 'A' Final.
e.g. if 24 in 'A' Final with 4 having moved up from 'B' then 5th in 'B' scores 25 points; 6th = 26 points etc.) Exclusions from Final = 50 points.
Non attendance = 100 points.
Thus 50 % of total score is dependant upon the race Result & 50 % upon grid position for the final allowing drivers who have poor heats or a problem in the final to still achieve a score.
