IET FORMULA GOBLIN

IET Formula Goblin events are run on a points-based system. The team with the least points at the end of the day are declared the overall winner. There will be a minimum of 13 driver opportunities for each car at an event. These driver opportunities will be made up of the following event activities. Please check the pre-race information to understand exactly what activities will be taking place on the day of your event.

Timed Awards

Drag – 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd

Drivers must drive in a straight line from start to finish. Cars must brake as soon as they cross the finish line. If they hit the row of cones at the end of the drag a 2 second penalty will be given. The time runs from the drop of the flag until the front wheels cross the finish line. Quickest time is the winner.

Slalom – 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd

Drivers must drive between each of the gates (made with cones) and finish in the coned box. If a cone is hit a 2 second penalty is given, if a gate is missed a 4 second penalty is given. If a car drives through the centre of the course, missing multiple gates, a 1-minute penalty is given. The time runs from the drop of the flag to stopping in the box. Quickest time is the winner.

Sprint – 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd

Drivers must complete the defined course in as quick a time as possible. The time runs from the drop of the flag until the front wheels cross the finish line. Quickest time is the winner.

Lap of Champs – 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd

Drivers must complete the full lap in as quick a time as possible. The time runs from when the car first crosses the line until the front wheels cross the finish line. Quickest time is the winner.

Pitstop Challenge – 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd

Teams must remove all 4 wheels off the Goblin Kit Car, place them on the ground, and fit them on the car again as quick as possible. The time runs from the word go and stops once all wheels are secured back on the car. Quickest time is the winner.

2022 GATHERING OF GOBLINS QUALIFICATION (IET FORMULA GOBLIN)

No qualification is required to compete at the Gathering of Goblins. We welcome entrants from far and wide to compete against each other in the biggest IET Formula Goblin event of the year.

2022 QUALIFICATION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL FINALS

IET FORMULA 24

Teams will be able to automatically qualify for the Finals at each official Greenpower heat. A team’s best result from either race 1 or race 2 will go forward, race distances are not combined. The top 3 scratch-built cars and the top 3 Kit cars that achieved the furthest distance for that event will receive automatic qualification.

Remaining spaces will be determined by the order of the F24 Distance Table. Each car's best mileage achieved at an official Greenpower heat will be included in the table and ranked highest to lowest. If you attend more than one heat during the season, your best mileage will be taken forward to determine your position in the table. Places will be awarded until 50 Scratch Built teams are invited to enter the IET F24 Grand Final and 50 Kit Car teams are invited to enter the Kit Car Grand Final.

The table will update after each heat, your position in the qualification table is likely to change during the season. After the final heat of the season, the final entry list will be confirmed, you will be notified if you have qualified for the event.

To ensure a route to the finals remains for those who cannot compete during the season, 10 teams from either scratch-built or kit-car will be invited as wildcard entries. All F24 teams are eligible for a wildcard entry, if you wish to be considered, send an email to info@greenpower.co.uk with the subject “Finals Wildcard”. In the body of the email please state where you are from, your organisation name, your car name and category, along with a short insert about your team that is no longer than 350 words. Wildcard entries will be announced after the final race of the season.

IET FORMULA 24 QUALIFICATION TABLE

IET FORMULA F24+

To be eligible for the IET Formula 24+ Championship and gain entry to the Finals a F24+ team must complete at least one (1) lap at two (2) official Greenpower heats. Wild card entries may be given to F24+ teams who have not met these criteria subject to venue capacity.

IET Formula 24 qualification table  

Qualified teams will be determined by the order of the F24 Distance Table. Each car's best mileage from a single event at an official Greenpower heat (mileages from all four races are combined to give an overall mileage for an event) will be included in the table and ranked highest to lowest. Places will be awarded until a percentage of Scratch Built teams are invited to enter the IET F24 International Grand Final and a percentage of Kit Car teams are invited to enter the Kit Car International Grand Final.

The table will update after each heat, meaning that your position in the qualification table is likely to change during the course of the season. After the final heat of the season, the International Final entry list will be confirmed and you will be notified if you have qualified for the event.

Unlike previous years there will be no automatic qualification to the 2021 International Finals.

Until we have a better idea of the restrictions that will remain in place for the International Finals, the number of teams that will qualify for the International Final will not be disclosed.

If you attend more than one heat during the season, your best mileage will be the mileage that marks your position in the table. Mileage from multiple heats are not combined, only one race mileage will appear in the table.
