Getting Started
You start the game with a budget of $100M and 18 tokens (14+4 to start) to purchase 2 Drivers, a Chassis supplier and an Engine Supplier. Once you have chosen your starting team, you can participate in your first GP.
You gain $50,000 for every point you score on a GP weekend. Results are put into the system after the Grand Prix and you will be able to view your incoming and outgoing expenses in the 'Transactions' Tab.
You also gain $2,000,000 for each participating race, provided you have a full team ready to attend the Grand Prix weekend.
How To Win
The Winner of the game is the person/team who scores the most points in a given season. The more points you score, the more money you earn, the faster you can upgrade your team!
Grand Prix Points
Not only do you score points for your drivers, For example 25 points if you chose Daniel Ricciardo and he won a race, you also score points for your engine and chassis. For example, if my drivers scored no points, but I had a Ferrari Engine, and Sebastian Vettel won, I would score 25 Points. The same goes for your chassis, for example if my drivers scored no points, but I had a Red Bull Chassis and Daniel Ricciardo won, I would score 25 points.
Parc Ferme
You must enter your team in Parc Fermé conditions prior to qualifying for the race. There is a countdown available on the website, if this is not available it means you have missed out on collecting full points for the race. This also means that you must have a complete team to participate in the weekend, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter. If you do not enter Parc Fermé, you will only receive 75% of your possible points, which will only appear in your account 3 days before the following race.
There is also a automatic Parc Fermé function for those of you who are very busy. You can find out more information
here.
Changing Your Team
When you start the season you start out with 18 tokens (14 + 4 to start). These tokens allow you to change out components of your team for 1 token a piece. After you have spent your 14 tokens, you can purchase another token for $25,000,000.
When selling components from your team, you will receive 90% of the purchase price back as there is a 10% selling penalty.
Betting
Betting is set to use the Markets made available using the WilliamHill API. Odds will change and new markets become available as the weekend unfolds. These are not set by the Site Admin or Community. Betting closes 1 hour before the race begins. All funds used in betting are fictional, and will not be reimbursed in real currency. Any errors are subject to ratification by the Site Administrators.
Improvement points
You get one extra point for each position your driver's moves up the grid.
So if your car starts 5th and finishes 2nd, you get a extra 3 points. But if you go back down the grid, (ie if you start in 2nd and finish 5th) you don't get any points, and also you do not lose any.
If your team or driver in your team is moved up or down the grid by the FIA for whatever reason (Such as engine or gearbox changes penalties), the starting position is taken as the position your driver and team qualified in before being moved.
Fastest Lap
If one of your drivers in your team has the fastest lap of the race, you score 3 extra points.
Hatrick points
If one of your drivers in your team starts off on Pole position, has the fastest lap of the race, and wins the race, you score 3 extra points.
