Before summer started the devs gave us a new patch including the option to use open layouts. And in this summer we are going to race on some of the finest new tracks this update has to offer! The 2011 FBM Trophy starts this sunday and promises close racing on configs that were not used before in the OWRL.
Just like in the two previous editions the FBM Trophy will have three races per event. A qualifying race to determine starting positions, a sprint race for 50% of the points and a main race, also for half the points, with a top 8 starting grid reversed. Races will be held on sunday evenings with the qualifying race starting at 20:00 CEST.
First up will be Aston Chicane Route, a track that combines the tight nature of the Cadet track with some of the flat out racing on Historic rev. The second race is on a track that has long been without pit lane, making it useless for much of league racing, but that has been fixed with South City Sprint Full 1. Another unique feature of that layout is that the starting grid is outside the normal lap. Finally the season ends on Fern Bay Silver, a track that suits the Formula BMW very well and it will allow for an exciting finish to the Trophy.
Participation is open for everyone with the only requirement that you signup for the events at owrl.de and set an online time on our training server before signup deadline. During the event multiple servers will be used if more than 24 drivers sign up.
Times set on the training server will be tracked and decide the server you drive on and the grid for the qualification race.
