United Downs Raceway, St Day, Cornwall
Sunday 21 August

The format for the 2022 World Championship will be similar to the last Autospeed staging, which was held at Cowdenbeath in 2018.  Each ORC Stock Rod promotion will be asked to nominate drivers, in seeded order.

Autospeed 10 + 2 drivers
GMP Scotland 8 drivers
Northern Ireland 6 drivers

It will be entirely each promotion’s choice, as to how they identify their seeds, but they will need to be in a pre-determined order.

If a promotion is unable to fill their allocation of seeded places, those places will be reallocated to the other two promotions.

The 24 seeded drivers will undergo a time trials session at the start of Sunday 21 August.  The times of the corresponding seeds will be compared.  Hence, the times of the six Numbers One & Two seeds from each promotion will be compared, to determine grid positions 1 to 6; the times of the six Numbers Three & Four seeds will be compared, to determine grid positions 7 to 12; and so on.

Positions 25 & 26 will be filled in accordance with the final seeded places notified by Autospeed.

There will be a Last Chance qualifier to determine the final four places on the grid

Pre-meeting practice arrangements will be confirmed in due course.

After the World Championship race, each driver will then have the opportunity to compete in two heats, which will be the start of the process for qualifying for the ORC Championship to be contested the next evening (Monday 22 August) at Smeatharpe Stadium, Taunton.
