4. One engine

Pick items 2,3 & 4 from the list below. Calculate the total cost of your team this MUST NOT get over budget. once your happy PM me with your entry and I will enter you into the game (a database on my computer at home)

Thats all there is to it. Each race your team will score pionts based on how the season is going in real life. Each wednesday after each race I will post the Championship Standings for the game. At the end of the season we will have a winner who will recieve a budget increase for the nest season!

Game Rules:

F1Technical Fantasy F1 is based on the 2006 F1 season. The game will start scoring points from 1st April 2006 (qualifying day of the Austrailian Grand Prix) and will finish on 22nd October 2005 (race day of the Brazilian Grand Prix). Points will be scored for all qualifying days and races between these two dates.

Picking a Team:
First you must choose a team name. You have a total budget of £50 million to choose a team comprising of the following:

3 x Drivers
1 x Constructor
1 x Engine

Each driver, constructor and engine is given a value based on previous performances and their potential for success during the 2006 season (i.e.: the most expensive drivers, cars and engines will be those predicted to be the most successful).

Once you have selected your complete team you must submit it to start scoring points. To submit your team just PM me with the team details.

Prizes
The Winner will get a budget increase of £5,000,000 for 2007. Second place will get a budget increase of £2,500,000. Anf third place will get a budget increase of £1,000,000 for 2007.

How to Score Points
Scoring starts from the Austrailian GP onwards. Fantasy points are allocated based on the performance of your drivers, constructor’s cars and engine.

Drivers
Qualifying:
The driver who completes the fastest lap in the 3rd qualifying round will receive +5 points.

If a driver recieves an engine penalty he will recieve pionts based on his qualifying lap time. For example, If Michael Schumacher sets the fastest time in the 3rd qualifying session but has a ten place grid penatly for changing his engine he will still get +5 pionts.

The Race:
Each Driver will be awarded 1 point for each lap completed in the race.

Each driver will generate +5 points for every position gained from their starting position on the grid to their final placing. Drivers will not lose points for losing places between the starting grid and end of the race.

Example 1: David Coulthard starts the race in 5th on the starting grid - and finishes 1st in a race. He has moved up 4 places so will gain 20 points.

Example 2: Fernando Alonso qualifies for pole position, but has to change engines and so is penalised 10 places on the grid - and finishes 2nd in a race. He has moved up 8 places from his starting position, so will gain 40 points.

If a driver does not gain / lose any places from starting grid to race finish he will be awarded +5 points

Drivers that finish the race in the top 8 positions will score points as follows; 1st - 10 points 2nd - 8 points 3rd - 6 points 4th - 5 points 5th - 4 points 6th - 3 points 7th - 2 points 8th - 1 point

Constructors:
Each Constructor has at least 2 cars in the race - you will be awarded points based on the performance of both cars.

+15 points for both cars finishing the race
+5 points for only one car finishing the race
Additional +5 points per car for finishing in the top 8 cars in the race.

Engines:
You will be awarded points for the performance of your chosen engine:

+10 points for each car with your chosen engine finishing anywhere in the top 3 positions in the race.

eg, If the top 3 are; Ferrari [Ferrari], Mercedes [McLaren], Toyota [Toyota] - then the Ferrari, Mercedes and Toyota each score 10 points.
If the top 3 are; Ferrari, Ferrari, Mercedes - then Ferrari score 20 points, Mercedes score 10 points.

Hope thats clear. Next to come; the Pirce list!

Just remember guys, do not get mad at me when I win ahhahahah so just kidding, but someone has to start the trash talking

Don't hate the player, Hate the game

[Sawtooth-spike]

wow by the time you get to the engine, you dont have alot of money left

[Figlio_del_Diavolo]

I think I'll get involved in this.

EDIT: How will the points scoring work? What will weigh more, driver points, chassis, engine?

[Spencifer_Murphy]

The pionts will be based upon this current season in the REAL F1 Championship. Everything else is explained in the game rules above under "How to score pionts"

Drivers will be the main thing though, thats why their values are higher. However you may choose to pick average drivers and put them in a better car, or great drivers in a slower car...its up to you!

wow by the time you get to the engine, you dont have alot of money left

Exactly! Its just like setting up a GP car for a race track, its ALL about compromise.
