New Series--60PLUS Open Cockpit Series

Season 2 of the 60PLUS League will be called the 60PLUS Open Cockpit Series.

Let's make it an ADVENTURE!!


The first race will be at Road America on Wednesday, January 25 at 18:30 GMT.

There will be 10 races: 8 on Road Course; 2 on Ovals.

There will be four cars participating:

Pro Mazda

Formula Renault 2.0

HPD ARX01c

Dallara DW12

All cars will be run with fixed setups developed by Donald Strout.

The two oval races will be Phoenix (Oval-closed Dog Leg) and the finale at Indianapolis. They will be single class/car events of sufficient length and fuel allocation (60 laps) to require a pit stop for fuel and will be run using the Dallara DW12. We will use "lucky dog" feature.

The Road Courses will be run as Multi-Class/Car events with two cars: Low HP and High HP running in the same event. (See below).  Driver selects to run EITHER in Low HP "class" or High HP "class" for the whole season.

Each class will have a 3 driver Podium and Series Champion.

The Low HP Class drivers will run the DW12 on the ovals, but will be scored separately. So on the ovals there will be two podiums and points allocation for the top 10 positions in each class.

Schedule:  6 tracks same as Season 1, 4 new tracks this Season 2.

On the road courses, the Low HP Class cars will always have "RIGHT OF WAY".  In other words, the Low HP Class drivers will drive their "normal" racing lines at all times. The overtaking High HP driver must be slightly ahead of the overtaken Low HP Class driver (in other words where the Low HP Class driver can see him with a single monitor.) at the "turn in point" in order to claim "corner rights"--Ideally passes of slower cars should be completed before the the "turn in point".

Slower cars may provide the courtesy of slowing slightly on the straight to facilitate a safe pass. But, THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.  Never "move over off the racing line to make room"...And,,NEVER slow on corner exit!  BLUE FLAGS ARE "ADVISORY ONLY".

It is the responsibility of the faster car to modify his racing line to execute a safe pass without interfering in the slower car's race!!!!  The slower car has no responsibility other than driving his normal racing line, maintaining control and avoiding contact in the corner if a safe "legal" pass is made by before the turn in point.
