The 1967 Sports Cars present a rather different challenge to the light and nimble Grand Prix cars. They are larger and heavier but are equiped with massive engines delivering lots of power. Whilst drivers of all abilities are welcome it is expected that entrants will be reasonably adept at handling the more forgiving 65 cars before attempting to master these heavy machines. 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).
"Amateur" standard drivers will be allocated an additional 10 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 additional allocation of 5 tokens (rather than 10). "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 |
Chaparral 2F | 17 |
Chaparral 2D | 15 |
Ferrari 330 P4 | 15 |
Lola T70 MK III | 15 |
Mirage M1 | 10 |
Porsche 910 | 10 |
Ford GT40 MK IIb | 8 |
Ford GT40 MK IV | 8 |
Ford GT40 MK I | 5 |
For example a driver who chooses an Chaparral 2F in round one will receive an initial allocation of 10 tokens and 10 tokens for starting the race. The Chaparral 2F costs 17 tokens so the driver will have 3 tokens left after the race. If he chooses a Ford GT40 MK IIb for the second round, then after receiving 10 tokens for starting the race and paying 8 tokens to drive the Ford GT40 MK IIb he will be left with 5 tokens. That means after receiving 10 tokens for starting round 3, he will only have 15 tokens and consequently will not be able to afford to drive a Chaparral 2F.
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.
