2018 V de V Challenge Monoplace

The 2018 V de V Challenge Monoplace was a multi-event motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship features drivers competing mainly in 2 litre Formula Renault single seat race cars that conform to the technical regulations for the championship. The season began at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 23 March and will finish at Estoril on 4 November after seven double-header rounds.[1]

Drivers compete in three classes depending on the type of car they drive. Those competing in the current Tatuus FR 2.0 2013 car, as well as the previous Barazi-Epsilon FR2.0–10 car, which are in use since 2010, are included in Class A. Older Formula Renault 2.0 machinery along with other cars such as Formula BMW and Formula Abarth encompass Class B. From 2018 on, Formula 4 cars built to FIA regulations are allowed to race in V de V Challenge Monoplace, being included in Class C.[2]

Standings edit

Points system edit

Points are awarded following a complex system. Drivers receive a set of points according to their overall position in each race, as well as an additional set of points according to their position within the class their car belongs to. No separated standings for classes A, B and C are issued. The points distribution is as follows:[2]

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th   16th   17th   18th   19th   20th   21st   22nd   23rd+ 
Points Overall 25 23 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Per class (≥4 starters) 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Per class (<4 starters) 3 2 1

The total number of points scored in each round is multiplied by a coefficient, depending on the round. Only the best 12 results are counted towards the overall standings, whereas all results are valid towards the Gentlemen Drivers standings.[1]

Round Coefficient
  Rounds 2–4, 6 x1
