13th week..

This is taken from the Iracing site. If you received an invite and have not activated it yet this would be a great time to do so!
There will probably be some ugly racing since SR and Irating are not affected but fields will be bigger and you will get to drive cars that you would not otherwise be able to drive yet.

13th Week Racing Schedule Announced!

As many of you already know, the official FIRST Sporting Code, the set of rules by which all iRacing.com members are expected to abide, calls for an annual competition calendar of four 12-week seasons. What you may not know is that we've always envisioned a 13th race week at the end of each season. The 13th week is intended to be a time for championship races and other special events, but with this being our first season since taking the service live (and with most of our members having joined well after mid-season), this time, we've decided to just focus on having fun.

Starting Saturday, July 26, at midnight GMT, iRacing members of all license levels will have four new one-week series to choose from:


"Solstice vs. Legends, Battle of the Titans"
"Late Model Madness at Lowe's Motor Speedway"
"SK Modified North and South Shootout"
"Sabbatical in a Radical."
Each series will be open to all license levels and will feature larger fields - up to 40 Late Models at Lowe's! - and slightly longer race distances than the standard series we've been running. Participation will NOT affect your iRating or Safety Rating, BUT that's meant to minimize pressure and maximize fun, not create chaos. We still expect you to adhere to the FIRST Sporting Code.

There will not be any Time Trial or Qualifying sessions during the week, and series and club stats will not be kept. The only record of these unofficial races and your performance in them will be the results sheets that appear on your own Stats page (and, of course, your own vivid accounts of your on-track brilliance, as well as screen shots and frame-capture videos).

With these four series, we've tried to strike a balance between opportunities to race and have fun using content included in the basic subscription package and the chance for new challenges with cars and tracks in which members have expressed a lot of interest. For complete series schedules, watch for a 13th Week Schedule post in the forums under iRacing.com Announcements.

Remember, the Fall 2008 Season will begin on Saturday, August 3, at midnight GMT (for complete information, see the Fall 2008 Series and Session Schedules post in the forums under iRacing.com Announcements). The fall schedule includes more frequent races in the rookie series, the addition of Class C series for both road and oval categories and several other small improvements. Our plan is to add even more series and sessions, but we'll do so progressively to avoid fragmentation of the community.

We hope you enjoy both our first 13th Race Week and the start of the Fall 2008 Season.
