Welcome to the second running of the SViRC. The 2015 season will see a few changes while still focusing on safe and fun racing for all. This year will have much the same format as last years running the included cars and road tracks that come standard with an iRacing membership but with 3 added rounds using Aussie cars and circuits. The Aussie rounds will consist of the Ford and Holden racing cars along with the Phillip Island and Mount Panorama and Oran Park race tracks. While these rounds will not count towards overall series points they should be a welcome high paced change throughout the season. The rest of the races in the series will use a point system like that of F1. Positions 1 through 10 awarded 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 points. Remaining positions awarded 0 points. Race format is same as last year with - Practice (50mins) – Qualifying (10mins) – Race 20 laps (approx. 30-35mins) Cars - Mazda MX5 Cup, Mazda MX5 Roadster, Pontiac Solstice and the Ford spec Racer. (Aussie Rounds) - Ford Falcon FG V8, Holden Commodore VF V8 Tracks - Lime Rock Park (USA), Okayama (JAP), Laguna Seca (USA) and Summit Point (USA), Charlotte (USA) (Aussie Rounds) - Phillip Island, Mount Panorama, Oran Park To join the ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ head over to www.iRacing.com then search the league directory for the ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ and click on the ‘join’ button. Membership to the site is very affordable and much cheaper than panel beating or a new gearbox! There will also be trophies for the top drivers 3 at series end. So get ready for an action packed year in the SViRC! See you on the track! Driver List - Tony.O Gary.F Lee.P Chris.C Sam.L Liam.C Jian Cai Pook

Championship results are - So congratulations to the top three drivers, trophy presentation date will be announced soon. With the first season of the SViRC all finished up I would like to thank all those who participated, whether it have been for every race or just a few laps, everyone who got on track made the series what it was.

Was a fun clean race, bar my spinning Gary and I had the track to ourselves. My brakes started to go around lap 13 and my butt went numb lap 14, was interesting fro there on in! Awesome result Chris, was it indoor or out door? Our last Karts event with SAU Vic was an inside track and seemed from what driver said was little slow. PS. Will post last nights results and a series wrap up by weekends finish

Oh and second for John and Anna too

I second for Amanda

So with no other votes the track that got chosen for tonight's final SViRC round will be - Laguna Seca (USA) - the track was picked from a sophisticated randomizer called a 'beanie' with the track names inside. See you on the track from 8pm for prac

Will do, It will be fun either way hope your go hard at your kart race, let us know your result
