2016 Figure 8 Results & Points

Postby Jon#606 » Tue 19 Apr 2016, 11:34 pm

Round 1
15 drivers turned up for the first race of the last points championship to get going this season on 1st April with the first round of the Figure 8 championship from the classic Blackwood Car Park Figure 8 layout. The change to UF1s, although unpopular at first, proved to be very exciting with great racing action and some cracking crossover collisions. There was some poor behaviour on show from some drivers so this will need to be reviewed.

The battle at the top was so tight it couldn't be split as Cap and Nova scored 57 points each to be joint winners of the meeting. The European champion's two heat wins ahead of #27's sole Allcomers win puts him in pole on the fledgling Figure 8 World Final grid. Reigning Figure 8 World and Points champ Kane had four heat wins and a rare DD victory but a failure to score in the final hampered his chances of taking the round. Lukey and surprisingly Mr. T-Bone, winning his first race of 2016, picked up the other heat wins with one each, Looney took the final and Jake W., also recording his first win of the year, won the other allcomers.

Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winner of the DD.

Round 2
The lowest turnout of 2016 so far featured tonight with just eight drivers attending for Round 2 of the Figure 8 championship. As a result, the track was unfortunately switched from the Swaffham Figure 8 to the classic Blackwood Car Park Figure 8 as it would have been just far too big for the UF1s.

Despite the low numbers, there was a fantastic night of action and racing with all competing drivers following the rules, which is a relief given the terrible scenes seen last week.

Looney came out on top with 4 heat wins and the final alongside three fourth places and a second to net a magnificent 90 points, while Cap took two heats and an allcomers to finish second with Rik's two heats only enough to give the British champion third place. Jon recorded his first DD win of the season while Dumbo #649 took the first allcomers to record his first ever LFS Bangers win, so a very well done to him. :)

Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winner of the DD.

Heat 1: Looney, Jam, Cap, Jon, Rik, Splat, Aaron
Heat 2: Cap, Rik, Jam, Looney, Jon, Aaron, Dumbo #649, Splat
Heat 3: Looney, Jam, Cap, Rik, Aaron, Splat, Jon
Heat 4: Cap, Rik, Jon, Looney, Dumbo #649, Aaron, Splat, Jam
Heat 5: Rik, Dumbo #649, Jam, Looney, Cap, Jon, Aaron, Splat
Heat 6: Looney, Dumbo #649, Cap, Aaron, Jam, Splat, Jon
Heat 7: Looney, Rik, Cap, Dumbo #649, Jam, Aaron, Jon, Splat
Heat 8: Rik, Looney, Cap, Dumbo #649, Jam, Aaron, Jon

Final: Looney, Rik, Cap, Jam, Dumbo #649, Aaron, Splat, Jon

Allcomers 1: Dumbo #649, Aaron, Rik, Cap, Jam, Looney, Jon, Splat
Allcomers 2: Cap, Jam, Rik, Aaron, Jon, Dumbo #649, Looney, Splat

DD: Jon

POINTS
1st: Looney - 90 points
2nd: Cap - 78 points
3rd: Rik - 76 points
4th: Jam - 63 points
5th: Jon - 47 points

Round 3
As with the first round, 15 drivers attended the final qualifier of the Figure 8 championship from the Hednesford Figure 8. The track was a slight bit too big for the UF1s, with lap times 5 seconds longer than usual which saw the heats reduced to 10 laps after the first heat took about 4 minutes to complete. While the micros have provided a different feel to the Figure 8 races this year, their size and speed may need to be reconsidered for 2017.

Curiously, as in the first round it was Nova alongside a driver whose race number ends in a 7 at the top (okay, that was a fairly contrived way to connect the two meetings :lol: ) as Rik tied with the current European champion for first. While #997 won three heats and the final to secure his place as joint meeting winner, #220 proved that consistency is king as he only failed to finish outside the top 3 in the last two point scoring races, with one of those being a fourth place in the final. Cap overtook Looney for pole in the final grid after a heat and allcomers win tied with two seconds, including one in the final and points finishes in all but one race. The opening two and closing two heats were shared between four different drivers as Miniman, Foster, Jam and Pennywise, formerly known as Hulow and his first win under his new nickname, all tasted victory on the night. The DD was an unsurprisingly tight affair, as they always seem to be with the UF1s, as Bokito and Macca battled until it was declared after 30 minutes, although both drivers appeared to be settling for the draw as they barely hit each other in the last 2 minutes of it! :lol:

Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Allcomers were non-points. 2 points went to the surviving drivers in the DD.

Heat 1: Miniman, Rik, Foster, Nova, Jam, Aaron, Bokito, Looney, Macca, Hammertime
Heat 2: Foster, Rik, Nova, Cap, Jam, Macca, Bokito, Hammertime, Pennywise, Aaron
Heat 3: Rik, Nova, Miniman, Jam, Cap, Hammertime, Fluffy, Pennywise, Aaron, Bokito, Jon, Looney, Foster
Heat 4: Rik, Cap, Nova, Bokito, Miniman, Jam, Fluffy, Pennywise, Jon, Hammertime, Looney, Macca, Brett
Heat 5: Cap, Nova, Jam, Hammertime, Looney, Brett, Macca, Fluffy, Aaron, Jon
Heat 6: Rik, Nova, Cap, Hammertime, Jam, Aaron, Bokito, Pennywise, Macca, Looney, Fluffy, Jon
Heat 7: Jam, Pennywise, Nova, Brett, Hammertime, Cap, Looney, Bokito, Macca, Fluffy, Jon
Heat 8: Pennywise, Looney, Jam, Nova, Hammertime, Rik, Aaron, Bokito, Cap, Jon Brett

Final: Rik, Cap, Looney, Nova, Miniman, Hammertime, Pennywise, Aaron, Jon, Brett

Allcomers: Cap, Jam, Nova, Bokito, Pennywise, Macca, Hammertime, Looney, Aaron, Brett, Jon

DD: Tie between Bokito and Macca - declared after 30 minutes.
