Thanks!

The app has come a long way in being able to track championship points now after recent updates!

I've seen that, it looks like I'll have to do an update to this at some point.

What I don’t understand is that I did very well in last weeks races. And I didn’t earn a single championship point and I’m still 22 in the results so idk what to do to get more

I'm not sure which series you're referring to, but it looks like you got 140 championship points for week 3 in GT4 Fixed. The guy who got the most points this past week only got 182. You are doing well, and in the race where you got the most points it looked like there were 4 splits. The only thing I could think would be to look on one of the stats sites like the iracing stats discord and see when the most popular time is to see if you can get a bigger sof which could result in more points. Division 1 looks tough.

I was going through my awards and see one for beating an iracing employee and it’s u lol I won a late model race u were in wild lol

Gotta hand out those achievements :)

So, as i understood, for week standings you get certificates. Is there a possibility to attend some leagues or different seasons, where you get a prize of money walue or some gift ?

The certificates are for when you place in the whole season. You do get iRacing credits up to a maximum of $10 for completing whole seasons. (Off the top of my head a whole season of a D or C class series is $4 and B or A is $5, so if you do two full A class series you can get the max). There are also leagues that will do prizes but I've not really done much of that so I can't really speak to it.

Curious: I won a Modified SK race last week. I kept racing that series throughout the week (for fun) and it no longer shows me having a win in that series. Did they take away my win because i ran more than 4 races and averaged my finishes?

Without knowing your iRacing ID and the race session you're referring to I can't help you directly, but the number in the wins column shouldn't be affected by doing multiple races. If I remember correctly there are two Modified SK series ,a fixed one and open one. Is it possible that you were looking at one and had the win in the other?

Hard to tell without looking, I forget if I mention this in the video or not, but championship points are calculated based on sof and the number of cars in the session. If he's running races that have sofs that are a couple thousand higher than the ones you are running along with a lot of cars as long as he places relatively well he can get more championship points than someone who has a couple wins. (Placing 3rd of 40 in a 4k sof will probably net you a lot more points than winning a 1.5k sof race with 20 people in it). Not sure if this is specifically what's going on, but it is one thing that could lead to it.

Looking at the current ARCA standings it's a little difficult to see what you're talking about since the points leader has 15 wins, but I think I found the division you're referring to. I'll take a look later tonight and see if I'm right about it being sofs you're running.

@@piltdownfilms my bad i forgot to say what division, im at division 3, i figured it out, the guy in first has 1 win, with a 3500 irating, i only have 2100 irating, so im guessing im getting beat from my lower irating

@piltdownfilms

@@TheChris1500 That was the division I was guessing. It looks like week 1 will be a drop week for both of you and week 2 will be a drop week for him and 6 will be a drop week for you. It's still in range for you, but will be tough. You could use something like the iRacing reports discord bot to find when you can get the bigger SoF splits, but I'm not sure if that would help or hurt honestly. Also there are a few people who have 1 week fewer of participation than either of you. There are 4 drop weeks so until week 9 or so things can shake up quite a bit if those people catch up in participation. (When I'm looking at this for myself I kind of mentally add whatever my best week was to their total). Good luck man, I think you have a shot but it will be tough.
