Rotax Masters Vote & Meeting
Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2021 5:41 pm
Hey Rotax Masters,
With the season approaching I thought now would be a good time to put forward a couple of items we need to look at before we can get racing this year.
The first item to address is the raceday format. As you know the club adopted the ROK Cup format for the VLR 100 and all classes were given the opportunity to try this near the end of last season. Basically morning practice times set the grid for qualifying which is a 6 lap sprint making every session of the race day competitive. Rotax Masters declined since we have a tire allotment rule in place and drivers didn't have the tires available for the extra competitive session. That said, some drivers were definitely interested in the format so we need to vote. Keep in mind we believe running this format will affect the tire usage by +1 set over the course of the season.
The second thing is the continuation of our tire allotment rule which began last year in 2020. As you know we had a maximum of four(4) sets of tires to use for qualifying and race sessions. There has been some discussion about increasing the allotment to five (5)sets. The purpose of this rule was to help ensure an even playing field for all competitors in the class as well as keep costs down. In the end I believe it made for good racing fair competition and certainly we all spent a few less dollars. That being said, having only four(4) sets of tires meant that there was an advantage for some drivers who we're able to conserve and although this is definitely a big part of motor racing in most categories the purpose of the rule wasn't specifically to give any particular driving style an advantage. Think about how many sets you prefer. We will vote for the Raceday Format first at the link below and then for the tire allotment at the Rotax Masters Pre Season Meeting via Zoom on March 31 8:00pm.
The last thing is I'd like to offically welcome all new members from last year and this year to the class. It's great to see new club members and specifically Rotax Masters. Although I know most of you I don't have all your contact information so I've required your email address as part of the vote soley for the purpose of communicating Rotax Master specific information. If you know of anyone planning to race in 2021 please let them know about this post. Please note that all Rotax Masters are encouraged to vote but we will only be counting the votes of members who raced in 2020. Voting will be open until March 31, 2021 8:00 pm.
Look forward to meeting you all soon!
