The 1969 Extra F1 division is intended to provide a competitive championship for all drivers in the league with the additional aim of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1969 season. The final championship positions will be determined after each driver has discarded their worst two results.
Drivers will be allocated 10 tokens at the start of the season with a further 10 tokens for each race they start (including their first race). A driver who fails to start any of the first 5 races will only be eligible for an initial allocation of 5 tokens (rather than 10) but will still receive a further 10 tokens for each race they start (including their first race).
Drivers who are classed as "Amateurs" will be given an additional 10 tokens. This means "Amateurs" will receive an initial allocation of 20 tokens at the start of the season. However an "Amateur" driver who fails to start any of the first 5 races will only be eligible for an initial allocation of 10 tokens (rather than 20). "Amateur" status will be declared by the divisional moderator at the start of the season.
Drivers must pay the number of tokens for the chassis they use in accordance with the following table:
Chassis | Cost in Tokens |
Matra MS80 | 20 |
Brabham BT26 | 17 |
Matra MS10 | 17 |
Lotus 49B | 17 |
McLaren M7 | 16 |
Ferrari 312 | 13 |
BRM P138 | 10 |
Matra MS84 | 8 |
Lotus 63 | 8 |
McLaren M9A | 8 |
Lotus 49 | 5 |
Brabham BT24 | 5 |
Cooper T86B | 3 |
Brabham BT20 | 3 |
Eagle AAR101 | 0 |
For example a driver who chooses a McLaren M7 in round one will receive an initial allocation of 10 tokens and 10 tokens for starting the race. The McLaren M7 costs 16 tokens so the driver will have 4 tokens left after the race. If he chooses a Matra MS84 for the second round, then after receiving 10 tokens for starting the race and paying 8 tokens to drive the Matra MS84 he will be left with 6 tokens. That means after receiving 10 tokens for starting round 3, he will only have 16 tokens and consequently will not be able to afford to drive a Lotus 49B, Matra MS10, Brabham BT26 or Matra MS80.
A driver must cross the start line at least once under race conditions to qualify as a starter (this is determined automatically by GPL not by the moderating staff). This means if a driver makes the grid he must actually cross the start line to qualify as a starter, simply making the grid is not sufficient. Similarly if a driver fails to make the grid but decides to start from the pit lane, he must cross the start line at least once under race conditions to qualify as a starter. Depending on where his pit box is in relation to the start line, this may mean he needs to complete a full lap in order to cross the start line. Drivers must start the race to be eligible for the 10 tokens "start money".
A driver must have sufficient tokens for the chassis he drives in the race. Any driver who does not have sufficient tokens will be disqualified from the result and his tokens will be set to zero.
The chassis a driver uses in qualifying are disregarded when determining his token spend.
Note: This is to cater for the instances when a driver either does not start or inadvertently joins with the wrong chassis and subsequently rejoins the server in another.
Any tokens not spent at the end of the season are ignored and are not used to determine championship positions in the event of a tie.
Note: We are using the 60fps patch (60fpsv1 or 60fpsaiv1) this seasonModerator: Cookie
