XR Corkscrew Laguna Tournament 2 [FULL]

Corkscrew Laguna is an open track corkscrew layout featuring four 180 degree turns. The track was inspired by the Laguna Seca (although is not an actual replica).

This will be the only mail in tournament we run on Corkscrew Laguna, with a significantly larger track and studio space in the works. Watch this space!

There are 16 spaces in the tournament with no qualifiers. We can still take submissions up until mid May for the opening round subject to availability. 

We are based in the UK, but we are accepting cars internationally.

Track

Corkscrew Laguna is a crash racers track, with a 1.5m section of Hot Wheels track at the start coming out of the start gate. The track features 5 straights ranging between 1.5 and 2.4m and 4 x 180 degree turns.

We've made the most of limited space for this track, so be prepared for a few crashes due to all the turns! Check out the first tournament on our YouTube Channel.

Race format and scoring

There will be three rounds. The first round will feature 4 groups of 4 racers (one video per group race). Each group will race 4 races, with cars alternating starting positions.

For each race:

1st Place = 5 Points
2nd Place = 3 Points
3rd Place = 2 Points
4th Place = 1 Points
DNF (Did not Finish) = 0 Points

The two racers with the most points after the four races will go through to the semi finals. This means there will be 8 positions in the semi finals (round 2).

In round 2, there will two group races, each with four racers using the same format as round 1. The two racers from each group with the most points will go through to the finals.

The finals will feature four racers, using the same points system across 4 races. The racer with the most points will win the tournament.

In the event of a tie in any round, the racer with the fewest DNFs will go through to the next round (if not applicable, the two racers will go head to head in a decider race).

The car that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races. Our track will be inspected and tested before each group, but no adjustments will be made between the four races to ensure all cars are subject to the same conditions. The design of this track inevitably leads to a few crashes which is all part of the fun.

Bracket seeding will be random.

If you would like your car(s) returned, you must cover the cost of return postage (enclose £5 for Royal Mail second class delivery, or you can email your own pre-paid postage label). Any cars not being returned will be retained by us for at least 12 months and you may be asked if you would like to enter them to future tournaments or solo races. At this time we can only return cars within the UK, but we can take cars internationally.

Make sure you submit your redline slip and team name!

Penalties/DNF

Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.

If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race depending on how severe the offence is. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.

Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.

If a car crashes and causes another car to crash, both cars will still get a DNF if they do not cross the finish line.

Prize

The winning team will have their team name/logo displayed on a billboard in our new track (under construction) for the duration of the next tournament.
