The 1965 F1 Cars are lighter and easier to handle than the 1967 machines. Being easier to drive they generally produce close exciting racing. The final championship positions will be determined after each driver has discarded their worst two results. This season drivers will only be allowed to select British cars and all the rounds will be held on British tracks. Each car will cost a specific number of tokens, each driver will be allocated a specific number of tokens.
All 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 must pay the number of tokens for the chassis they use in accordance with the following table:
Chassis | Cost in Tokens |
Lotus | 19 |
Brabham BT11 | 18 |
BRM | 15 |
Cooper | 3 |
Brabham BT7 | 1 |
For example a driver who chooses a BRM in round one will receive an initial allocation of 10 tokens and 10 tokens for starting the race. The BRM costs 15 tokens so the driver will have 5 tokens left after the race. If he chooses a BRM for the second round, then after receiving 10 tokens for starting the race and paying 15 tokens to drive the BRM he will be left with zero tokens. That means after receiving 10 tokens for starting round 3, he will not be able to afford to drive anything faster than a Cooper.
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 (60fpsV2NewMod) this seasonPlease use the Track Gap Freeze Fix Patch V.09 for all on-line racesModerator: Pete Bennett
