Honda Challenge Grand Tour

03/04/2020

!!Announcement!!

Due to the current conditions and our effort to help keep this virus at bay and keep everyone safe. We feel its our duty to put the remaining Grand Tour events on hold for 2020. As things open up and we get back to normal, hopefully we can get together with regional leaders and get something on the books for the fall.
Maybe a winner take all style event or something, but currently we do NOT want to encourage traveling out of region for events when your local regions will need all the help they can get to get back up and running again when we defeat this threat.

If things take a dramatic turn this stance will be reevaluated. Until then stay safe everybody and keep the cars at the ready.

Ok everyone
With the current situation we are in around the world and events being cancelled, postponed, etc. Keep an eye out for updates to the schedule, as I am sure changes will happen.

Also, I am compiling the results from the 1st round at Road Atlanta.

August 28-30 Mid-Ohio (NASA-GL)

October 9-11 Daytona International Raceway (NASA-FL)

There it is folks, let's start making plans. The goal of this is to get the largest car counts in each of the 3 HC classes as possible, and really showcase the series.

Points System will be as follows

4 Weekends count towards end of the year points total .
In order to be considered for end of season awards one must contend in at least 3 of the 5 events.
Only 2 races per weekend count towards your weekend points total. (First 2 races)
There will be a 10-point bonus for Saturday Pole Position
There will be a 10-point bonus for Fastest Race lap on Sunday
Award Points:
1.100
2.90
3.80
4.75
5.70
6.65
7.60
8.55
9.50
10.45
11.40
12.35
13.30
14.25
15.20
16.15
17+. 10

Also going to introduce another points bonus for each weekend. If there are more than 7 cars in class the tow mileage for each will be calculated and points will be awarded for the furthest tow. 1-longest tow
1.10, 2.8, 3.6, 4.5, 5.4, 6.3, 7.2, 8+All out of region racers receive a 1 point bonus
***There will also be an end of the year long hauler award for the driver with the most tow miles logged for GT events

09/11/2019

So...question of the day
October Event...
North to Watkins Glen?
South to Daytona?
Which would people rather see?

31/10/2019

With 2020's regional schedules coming out. The schedule for the 2020 Grand Tour will be finalized soon!
There were some questions last weekend at VIR that I thought I'd try to answer as things come together.
The aim of this endeavor is to have a series within the series of sorts. Everyone obviously has there regional points championships to contend for and hopefully 2020 will bring heated battles in every region for every class.
*There will be a separate points system in place for Grand
Tour participants (details to follow) with our own separate
"awards" at the end of year.
*There will be a long hauler award for the individual or team
logging the most miles throughout the year to participate in
GT events.
*I am working on an extended contingency system of sorts for
participants, more than the usual 1-3 or 1-5 finishing
positions. With this will probably come a decal pack or
something to that effect that participants will be required to
run, and will be provided.

More to come!!!
If anyone has questions or ideas suggestions don't hesitate to let me know.
Oh and guys there are folks in your regions that I may not of shared this page with, be sure to tell your friends and get everyone in the know on the Grand Tour.
