Championship Specific Rules, Regulations and Guidelines

This championship will use the current F1 points system:

Win. 25 pts
2nd. 18 pts
3rd. 15 pts
4th. 12 pts
5th. 10 pts
6th. 8 pts
7th. 6 pts
8th. 4 pts
9th. 2 pts
10th. 1 pt

Lobby Rules

The scheduled time for the event is when it is expected that each participant is in the lobby by and ready to begin the race. Invites will be sent out approximately 5 minutes before this time. Depending on circumstances, 5-10 minutes grace will be given should any participant be delayed that has forewarned us of this.

If the session has got under way on time but a late comer wishes to join, provided we are no more than 5 minutes into the qualifying session, the game will be restarted so that they may enter.

Along with the race invites, invites to a dedicated chat room will also be sent. Each member is expected to join this. People who have microphones/headsets are encouraged to use them, although once the race is under way, they should be set to mute while not speaking.

Qualifying Rules

Each entrant is expected to behave competently in qualifying. Great care must be taken by those on their out-lap or in-laps, so that they do not impede anyone on a flying lap. If a car on a hot-lap is close behind you, you are expected to move clearly off the racing line for them, and even off track if necessary.

Holding station at the final corner of the out-lap so as to create space ahead of you is permitted, so long as it does not disrupt anyone's lap behind you. You must not overtake a car which is doing this unless you yourself are on a flying lap. Otherwise, you should wait your turn.

Anyone who destroys their car during qualifying, purposefully or accidentally, will automatically receive a 10 second time penalty added on to their race time. This is to avoid the tactic of purposefully binning your car so as to start the race on a fresh set of tyres. The one exception to this rule is if the driver has not registered a qualifying time when this happens.

In the event of the lobby crashing on race start, the host will recreate a new lobby, set it to race only and grid order to random. Because of obvious time constraints, qualifying will not be repeated but the points allocation from the original qualifying session will still stand.

Race Rules

In the event of accidentally crashing into/spinning a competitor, you are expected to wait for them to re-pass. Failure to do so will result in a warning and repeated warnings can result in exclusion.

On occasion, it is not always the fault of the car behind for a crash. Weaving by the leading car is strictly prohibited and once they have committed to a line they are expected to stay there for the braking zone.

Drivers being lapped are expected to slow down and not deviate from their current line so as to avoid confusion. The car coming through is expected to 'overtake' the lapped car. This is the opposite procedure of letting people through who are on flying laps in qualifying by going off the racing line. Please do not confuse the two.

Unfortunately, with rules set to reduced, this means the blue flag won't be in effect. This means it's important for drivers further down the field to be wary of who they're racing and who they're not. The use of microphones in this situation is advised if possible.

Good Luck!​

Possibly might be up for this but I need to know a date. Any day is fine though weekend is naturally best. Hopefully its a day when it isn't sunny so I can race at that time without sun in my face too! (I currently have my setup in a place where the sun shines unfortunately so usually don't play till night or when it rains - which is a kind of blessing anyway haha as it gets me on my bike!).

This will also be my first competitive event using a steering wheel on F1 2011 so I don't expect to be very competitive! Hopefully my past month spent on iRacing will have helped!

Haha, I love the way my rules from that have become something of a template in subsequent championships, I feel honoured! However, some of them are not applicable to either F1 2011 or this particular race, you might want to read over them again to see what I mean.

I'm looking forward to this and to be racing on the same team with DarkPSI for the first time, long overdue my friend :) 👍

It'll most likely be the 15th. 👍 What team will you take Luke?
 
Remember what to do if Peter is faster than you. Can you confirm you understand that message, akmuq? Or, let me put it into McLaren terms. Save fuel! :lol:
 
Man now I remember why I stopped playing this game, the complete lack of feel and ridiculously floaty and sliding rear-end are almost un-bearable. Fortunately Spa is a track that you don't need to put on a lot of steering lock in the fast stuff so you don't notice it so much but having a play around again at Catalunya is a nightmare. If I try and drive smooth and consistent its far too slow, you have to drive so completely over the edge it becomes very frustrating.
I notice this a lot more now I'm playing with a wheel too - the wheel promotes smooth and steady steering which is not the fastest way around this game. You have to be sawing at the wheel to get any kind of laptime out of it - which is fine and can be fun but the lack of real feedback and completely bizarre high-speed physics make it a chore trying to complete laps.

I'm still in for this race but I'm just very glad its Spa and not Catalunya or Silverstone!

The best thing you can do to get over the floating rear end is to stockpile on the rear downforce, and never run less than at the front, mostly the latter. Catalunya and Silverstone are actually 2 of my favorite tracks in this game. The layouts are actually quite fun, but only if you have the rear downforce to cope, else it can turn out to be a rather unpleasant experience.
