[HR][/HR]RULES

Choose your driver pairing(s) before the deadline.

1. Choose a tier (your first is free)
2. Choose your '+' driver from that tier
3. Choose a '–' driver from the same tier
4. Players from round 11 who don't pick a new driver pairing or buy any add-ons will have their choices from Hungary carried over to Belgium
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.​

I take it newbies can join? If so, I'll take Alonso as my + and Schumacher as my -.
Is there anything else i need to do?

 

Yes, we're happy to take noobs and I think that was part of the reasoning behind moving it out here into the open.

Initially, choosing your + and – drivers is all you can do so yes - that's fine. Hopefully after a race or two you'll pick up enough points to start buying some add-ons.

 

Liking the revamped look genji. With a million different ways to analyse things, this truly is a game worthy of F1.

Renault engine -20pts
+Raikkonen -Button & KERS -15pts
+Kovalainen -Karthikeyan & KERS -35pts

 

Thanks, Roadster. Duly updated.

 

Thanks Genji, a nice remedy for those Olympic blues!

im going to go with
+ Hamilton
- Webber

with KERS and Merc engine


Like the off topic format

 

Cheers, Bando.

 

Can i have a mercedes engine please Genji? I'll keep my current pair of drivers.

Renault engine and KERS please Genjis Khan!

 

OK, Kyle and Westy - choices recorded. Thanks.

Dear oh dear cosi...

 

+Alonso
-Massa

Please, if that doesn't guarantee points then at least its probably good for the championship

 

Thanks BLS - done.

 

I'll keep the usual KK with kers and merc engine please genj, and decide were to lose points later

 

Thanks, Miggins - it is done.

 

Is this still happening Genji?

 

No, I don't want to do that now, Caesar (but thanks for noticing it): there was no discussion directly following it up but about a fortnight later, in the Euro GP thread, there emerged a feeling that we shouldn't change the rules partway through the season. In retrospect I think it's an excessive way to remove the Karthikeyan effect when the KKK option is available to everyone with the battleground being beyond that.

Unfortunately I forgot about the comment you quoted and didn't go back to delete it.

EDIT: I have now. Do you think it's worth considering introducing it as a rule in 2013?

 

Can I join as well? If so, Kovalainen+ Karthikeyan -
