Nice!
Like the idea of F1 and F2. 25.5 is so slow, now you have a good sportsmen class for it.

We had quite a few ideas to push at the revival of the UF1 Series (including the hard/soft set of tires idea), but honestly I just wanted to get the first season back up and running. We have some cool ideas for next season though!

IMHO I say just do away with the pit stops. After a few years of UF1 I realized the pits just confused the running order and no one knew who they were racing for position with so the races never felt like races until maybe the last few laps. Unlike F1, which needs pits to fabricate position changes, Rc cars can generate real passes for position which is more exciting in the end

Any way, looking forward to the new UF1 season!

That's great news---looking forward to running in it!!

So based on the rules I"m seeing --F-1 is 21.5 and F-2 is 25.5?

F-1 is 15 minutes w two pits and F-1 is 10 minutes w 1 pit? Other than that--no other differences??

Well, alot of guys use the pit stops to help with traffic, so it does get used in much the same way as real F1.

Yes, F1 is 21.5, F2 is 25.5.

Yes, F1 is 15 minutes races with 2 pit stops, F2 is 10 minutes races with 1 pit stop.

I working on a video right now that goes over the rules - should be ready here soon.

True but I mean when I'm near any other cars I don't know if we are battling for position or not because of the pitting. Are they a lap down or am I? Am I a good sport and let them by like in touring car or do I say I'm not letting any one by because I don't know my position and visa versa?
I know I'm not explaining it well but the point is the pitting just confused the running order and no one knew who they were racing for position with. It felt like practice laps (boring) except for the last few minutes if that makes sense.

21.5 sounds like a whole lotta fun though 25.5 might produce better lap times We can still run 25.5 in the F1 class right?

Absolutely!!

That's true in real F1 too, the only difference there is that they have a team of people talking to the driver.
