Back by apparently some demand for 2025!
Here are the rules - and there are some small changes from 2024 of which you should be aware:
- You have 13 Tokens from which you must select one of each of: DRIVER 1, DRIVER 2, CHASSIS, and ENGINE.
- You may, over the course of the season, swap CHASSIS and ENGINE once apiece, and you have two DRIVER swaps (whether that's 1 and 2, or either twice).
- Additionally, you have one JOKER swap, for swapping your entire lineup in one go only; when using it, the two DRIVER slots must be filled with two entirely new DRIVER selections.
- You may enter or change your team lineup at any time during the season, but only entries received (by PM or post in this thread) before one hour ahead of race qualifying (not sprint qualifying) will be eligible to score in the subsequent Grand Prix.
Here's where it gets complicated:
- Across the course of the season, I will adjust Token values at 1200 UK time on the Wednesday after every sixth race and hopefully tell people about it. Should your selection gain or lose value, your number of Tokens will increase or decrease accordingly; if you have a team worth 13 Tokens and its value drops to 12 Tokens, you will only have 12 Tokens available for any swaps you wish to make. It may be to your advantage to swap before a Token update if you suspect your team's value will fall...
- With the exception of 5/6 there will always be four DRIVERS at each Token value, two CHASSIS at each Token value, and a maximum of one ENGINE at each Token value.
- Token 6 will have only a maximum of one DRIVER, CHASSIS, and ENGINE, but may also not be used.
- Should a driver miss a race for any reason and a replacement races in their stead, the replacement will score for that driver; note that this will apply if the replacement driver is one who already drives for another team except in the case of a full-time active driver transfer from another team wherein the driver continues to score for themselves in their new team and their replacement for themselves at the original team, with any driver leaving the grid scoring nothing until such time as they rejoin.
Here's how you score:
- Only classified finishes will generate points
- That doesn't include Sprint Races which are the spawn of the devil.
- DRIVERS will score points according to their finish position; 1st place will score 20, 2nd will score 19, 3rd will score 18, and so on down to 20th which scores one point.
- ENGINES will score points according to the mean of the best two finishes for each engine, with the same points system as above. If an ENGINE records a 1-2 finish, it therefore score 19.5 points.
- CHASSIS will score points exclusively based on the Famine's Adjusted Constructor's Championship* (FACC). This is a simple ranking of each team's second-finishing car, using the current F1 points system from 25 for 1st down to 1 for 10th.
Here are the initial Token values; they are based on 2024 results (real, FACC, and GTPFF1):
| DRIVER | ENGINE | CHASSIS | |
| 6 TOKENS | - | - | - |
| 5 TOKENS | Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, Piastri | Mercedes | McLaren, Ferrari |
| 4 TOKENS | Russell, Hamilton, Alonso, Sainz | Ferrari | Mercedes, Red Bull |
| 3 TOKENS | Albon, Tsunoda, Ocon, Lawson | RBPT | Aston Martin, Haas |
| 2 TOKENS | Gasly, Stroll, Antonelli, Doohan | - | Alpine, Racing Bulls |
| 1 TOKEN | Hulkenberg, Bearman, Bortoleto, Hadjar | Renault | Williams, Sauber |
Your initial entry will be final, with any edits disregarded. If your selected entry is over 13 Tokens it will be disregarded.
