THIS WEEK: iRacing SCCA Runoffs Special Event
November 18th, 2024 by Chris Leone
iRacing’s Special Event calendar features a selection of the world’s most compelling races across numerous disciplines. Whether you’re interested in stock cars or sports cars, open-wheel formula cars or sprint cars, sticking to pavement or playing in the dirt, running solo or racing with a team of your closest friends, our Special Events have something for everyone!
The SCCA Runoffs is a week long competition at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Racers will qualify for the main events utilizing the super session model. This Super Session event invites the top points finishers from a weeklong series in each participating class to do battle in a grand final to determine the overall event champion.
To learn more about the event, its time slots, the latest information on the cars that will be competing, and everything else you need to know, visit our Special Events page or the iRacing Forums.
What is an iRacing Super Session?
Each year, the iRacing Special Events calendar challenges iRacers of all skill levels to compete in a diverse slate of events, ranging from premier oval and sports car races to dirt events. While many of these events see the entire community competing at the same time, a handful of others, called Super Sessions, are designed to showcase the best of the best at any given discipline.
iRacing Special Events using the Super Session model start out like any other public iRacing series, with regularly occurring events on a fixed time schedule throughout the week. Just like in a public series, your first four race results comprise your score in the point standings, but you can run additional events to continue trying to improve your total, as all of your race scores will be averaged out.
On Super Session day itself, all drivers will be assigned to a split based on their point scoring during the week, rather than their iRating. For example, if the top split of the Super Session takes 20 drivers and one of the top 20 point scorers doesn’t register, the next available driver who is registered for the session will be allowed to compete in the top split. The top split drivers will determine the official Special Event champion, but every driver who registers on Super Session day will still have their own race to compete in!
iRacing Super Sessions are often used for events with shorter-length features in order to give as many people as possible the opportunity to compete together. Examples of iRacing Special Events that use the Super Session model include the iRacing SCCA Runoffs, iRacing Crandon Pro 4 Championship, and iRacing Chili Bowl.
