TIM Announces Unique New Race Series





Michigan Race of Champions is a unique new form of motorsport which is a combination of US style AutoCross WRC Super Special, Race of Champions and X-Games Rally. Conducted on a 100% paved course, cars start of at half a lap apart and pusrue each other over the course of a lap or two of the tight and twisty track. First car back to their start position wins. Often an event will consist of timed heats with the fastest 8 drivers going head to head in a knockout competition to determine the overall winner. More seat time per dollar than almost anything else you can do without a cage. Points are awarded throughout the season to determine the season champion.


SERIES WINNER RECEIVES A SET OF TEAM DYNAMICS WHEELS!

unique head to head knock-out format
two cars on track at a time, not door to door
challenging yet safe, sinuos all tarmac course
production based vehicles limited safety equipment requirements

Sounds like fun Limey! I wonder what I'd do with a spare set of Team Dynamics...?

I ran in something like this at a super rally x practice a few years ago. It was a blast!

[MrTopher]

$45-50 should do it.

I think we do need a logo. Perhaps a logo competition is in order?

You have me interested, so pretty much all the info you need is on the site?

I'd like to think so but if you have any questions please post them here so all can benefit.

I'm looking forward to being able to participate now. The previous events wouldn't allow me to use the Jeep and now that it's all tarmac, I plan on bringing out the Mustang. Good stuff Paul!

Sounds good. I was talking to Special K and we are interested in attending 1 or so.

[Boxer4dad]

Sounds like fun.

One question; gloves are required? I haven't found any that I actually like, but then again, I'm probably only looking at doing a couple of these, and not the series. No bare-handers, though?

Yes, no bare skin basically. I use s pair of MEkanix GLOVES. And you also need a neck brace of some sort. I sell some on site for about $35 but anything from a karting one to a full HANS would be OK.

Great. I'll let everyone know when registration opens.

Hey Paul, could you compare / contrast this to autocross in regards to speeds, course length, and risk?

[scafero]

Maybe this was stated but I didn't see it the website so I will ask. Are the starts during the elimination rounds staggered like in bracket racing?
