Don't they sometimes add non semi finalists onto the back of the grid in wcqr points scoring order to boost the numbers up ? Yes, that's usually the case. The reserves for the World Consi are in Nic's post earlier in this thread.

From briscaf2.com Following extensive review by BriSCA F2 on a number of technical issues, the result of the 2017 World Championship, staged at Kings Lynn on Saturday 9 September, is confirmed as follows: 1st H124 Wim Peeters 2nd 7 Gordon Moodie 3rd 226 Billy Webster 4th 298 Jake Walker 5th 101 Kelvyn Marshall 6th 905 Rob Mitchell 7th 886 Chris Bradbury 8th 700 Adam Rubery 9th H154 Kay Lenssen 10th 301 Charlie Whitfield BriSCA F2 unanimously agree that the cylinder-head bolts of the 1st placed car of Wim Peeters do not conform to the 2017 BriSCA F2 rulebook. However, widespread examples have been unearthed of perceived accepted practice in their use by other drivers/engine-builders across the UK and the Netherlands, and additional sufficient doubt cast over the legality of some other cylinder-head fixings now known to be in widespread use. BriSCA F2 agree that, in relation to the offset position of the engine within the car of Wim Peeters, the wording of rule 230.4 has been shown to be slightly flawed. Therefore, a sufficient lack of clarity means that pursuing a disqualification based on the observed offset measurements is not in the interests of BriSCA F2 as a whole. Further information for drivers, car-constructors, and engine-builders will be published in the near future. BriSCA F2 acknowledge the patience of the drivers and teams involved during the resolution of this complex matter. So much for "one night only"....

Press release from Spedeworth Everyone’s been waiting for it counting the days and at last in the 56th season of Spedeworth Oval Motorsport at Foxhall Stadium, one of the most prestigious races in history comes to Ipswich. This coming Saturday night, 16th September, Spedeworth / Incarace Motorsports proudly presents the 2017 Brisca F1 Stock Car Racing Championship of the World, - a real ‘barnstormer’ of a meeting as the best UK, Dutch and New Zealand Drivers head into town with one thing on their mind, to take the World Championship Trophy back home with them! Once again Foxhall Heath Stadium hosts another ‘biggie’ of the year, and having staged one World Final for Brisca F1 previously when the event was promoted by another organisation, this time it is the turn of Spedeworth / Incarace to show what they can do to promote the event at their ‘Flagship Stadium’ and there is no doubting, whether you are a casual race fan or a “die hard” F1 fan, this is one meeting you simply would not want to miss.

At time of press, we have around 30 World Finalists plus almost 60 in support booked in with a dozen of Holland’s best and New Zealand have sent their possible strongest challenge yet in the calibre of the four drivers they have representing the Southern Hemisphere.

Meeting introduction is at 12:00 Mid Day with World Finalists Practice from 12:30 – 1:00.

THREE FORMER CHAMPIONS GIVE THEIR WORLD FINAL VERDICTS

What happens if one of the qualifiers from the consolation semi wins? As they are not on the list I'd imagine they will be added after they have qualified.

I think this is really good! You asked for comments, so these are mine. You mention that Dan Johnson has held "plenty of titles over the years". I wouldn't say "plenty" - he's won one Shootout and 2 Europeans so far. World Semi Finals are not title races. Already mentioned, but for completeness - Rob Speak was in the Semi Final due to the points he scored in the qualifying rounds at the end of last season. I thought you also missed out some details that would be interesting e.g. 169 only races shale and has never raced at Ipswich. Also, some comments about SPAG: Apostrophes e.g. DNF's, appearance's, World Final's, championship's, titles' Random capitals e.g. front Right puncture Several times you write he's when you mean his e.g. 543's less favoured surface Overuse of certain words - e.g. don't use 'however' more than once in the same sentence. On a forum like this, which is like-minded people chatting about their hobby, these don't matter in the slightest. But if you want a career in journalism, then it's really important that you get the hang of this sort of stuff. Not sure about it all being blue italic either...

Spedeworth have announced that Bet Fred will be taking bets on the World Final - in their shops, online, and at the stadium on the day. Gamble responsibly, don't bet more than you can afford to lose, etc.

Rob Speak will be using the car raced by 499 Dave Allen and 14 Roger Bromiley.

Seems like it might be a good time to close this. Thanks very much for the updates Nic. Hopefully more of the same next year, but until then, Stoxnet is back to being pure F1.

Official announcement is that the result of the F2 World Final has been suspended and will be subject to a technical committee.

I'll bring it to Ipswich.

Here's a little taster of what Ipswich is like....

Based on this info from promoter Crispen Rosevear, the meeting programme sounds like an epic production:- F2 World Final programme front cover - loads inside, including interviews with Daz Kitson and Mark Simpson - the two drivers who have previously struck F2 gold at Kings Lynnmore from Beak's Waffle House that should raise a giggleDriver Profiles and associated photosRolls of Honourdetails on the other trophies over the weekend (Alan Benson, O'er The Border, Duncan & Margaret Farrington)not forgetting the Saloon Stock Cars ORC Championshipand even some of my own nostalgic reminiscing from a few World Finals past...it has been a lot of work, but hopefully you will all enjoy this edition.
