2. Choose your '+' driver from that tier
3. Choose a '–' driver from the same tier
4. Players from round 17 who do not pick a new driver pairing or buy any add-ons will have their choices from India carried over to Abu Dhabi
5. The points scored by your '–' driver will be subtracted from the points scored by your '+' driver to give you your score for the race
6. If you have enough points you may use them to 'buy' a second tier (20 pts each)
6b. If you have more than enough points you may use them to 'buy' a rather smart points booster (see Add-ons thread for info)

[HR][/HR]HOW DRIVERS SCORE POINTS

please log in to view this image

NB. 'Qualifying' points allocations take post-qualifying penalties into account and are therefore based on race start positions. For example, if Massa qualifies in 4th place but receives a five place grid penalty then points will be allocated based on his race start position of 9th. There is therefore a double hit for drivers who receive a penalty resulting from a stewards inquiry. Time penalties: 2 points docked from score and potentially a lower race finish. Grid penalties: 3 points docked from score at current race and a grid drop at the following race.​

Had a shot at the title going into this race


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

 

OK... after a short delay, for which I apologise, here are the results of last weekend's race - and (assuming I haven't made any errors) it was another high-scoring one.

In third place, with 54 points, was the redoubtable WESTCOASTBOOGALOO, who's now just 20 points behind long-time standings leader, cosicave.

In second place, separated from Westy only by dint of the Safety Car he added, was one of the top three moderators on the forum, EL_BANDO, with a respectable 59 points - the highest-scoring individual selection.

And... on the top step of the podium... following an almighty balls-to-the-wall all-or-nothing dive up the inside... with a record-breaking 91 points was...

Three-way title fight it looks like now. Good to be a part of it
Well done Miggins, bloody good score.

Also, are these results including "Sportydan's best overtake"? I'm hoping to scrounge another five points

 

yeah, tbh, I'm quite surprised, I lost a + driver on the first lap, lucky I didn't have the points for that last KERS, lol

 

Unlucky. Because I'm so late posting the results I've already incorporated best overtake (hence Vettel has 10 points in FL/OT).

 

Wow! What a superb score from Miggins! It just goes to show that a small lead in this game could so very easily be overturned.

Congratulations Miggs.

 

thanks all for the congratualtions on my 2nd record score, I now hold both highest (91) and lowest (-53) weekly scores, although no one congratualted me on the -53
