Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about VCR Standings and championship points
Only the official Saturday broadcast races are counted. These occur every Saturday at 17:00 GMT (5:00 PM GMT).
The series tracks the IMSA Vintage Series featuring two car classes:
- Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo
- Audi 90 GTO
Overall The main championship for all drivers, regardless of iRating.
Junior A secondary championship for lower-iRating drivers to compete among peers of similar skill level.
Drivers can earn points in both championships simultaneously.
Overall All drivers who complete at least 75% of the winner's laps earn points.
Junior Drivers are eligible if their pre-race iRating is below 3000.
For example:
- 2960 iRating = eligible (2960 < 3000)
- 3050 iRating = not eligible (3050 > 3000)
Week 9+ rule: Top 3 junior drivers can continue earning points above threshold with a penalty applied.
Points are awarded based on finish position within your car class. The scale varies by split:

Positions are ranked by total points. Tiebreakers (in order):
- Most wins
- Most 2nd places
- Most 3rd places
- Best average finish
Each car class has separate standings.
When enough drivers register, iRacing creates multiple splits running simultaneously.
Overall Split 1 awards the most points (25 for 1st), with decreasing scales for lower splits.
Junior Split 1 actually awards reduced points compared to Split 2+, benefiting lower-iRating drivers.
Note: Split numbers are based on creation order, NOT Strength of Field.
Common reasons:
- No race completed: You need to finish at least one official Saturday race
- Not enough laps: Must complete 75% of winner's laps
- Race not processed: New races are typically processed within a few hours
- Wrong series: Only IMSA Vintage Saturdays at 17:00 GMT count
For Junior Championship: your iRating must be below 3000.
Race results are fetched and processed within a few hours after each official Saturday race completes. Standings are automatically recalculated when new data is imported.
