Token and scoring system
Division 1 used a system whereby each driver had to purchase the cars they race with, from an initial allocation of tokens. Overspend is permitted, however, this resulted in a deduction in championship points at the end of the season. The details and rules of this system are explained below.
The purpose of this token system is: 1. to allow people to drive any car they wish 2. to close up the racing; and 3. to make sure the final championship standing reflect how well everyone has driven rather than the car they chose.
Race points are, from 1st down to 15th: 50, 43, 38, 34, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3, 0.
Each driver is given 120 tokens for 12 races (10 tokens per race, which may rise if we use additional tracks). Cars are valued (in tokens) as follows: Lotus 22 Eagle 20 Ferrari 16 Brabham 12 Honda 7 Cooper 6 BRM 2
For races you do not turn up to you are deducted 2 tokens.
If you get disco'd you are deducted the number of tokens that the car you started in is valued at, divided by 2 — except for the BRM which is scored as 2 tokens regardless.
Any overspend in tokens at the end of the season is converted into a percentage to deduct from the driver's final score. The percentage to deduct is 25% of token overspend, ie. an overspend of 20 points will dictate a 5% reduction of your overall championship score. |
