Handicapping
We will use the tokens system again this season. The tokens system used with the 67F1 cars is actually a chassis levelling system, not a form of handicapping. So to introduce a form of handicapping into the 1955 Grand Prix series, drivers who are classed as "Amateurs" will be given additional tokens.  This will take the form of 10 additional 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.

There is no red zone for this championship. Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents do carry an extra 1 place penalty.

The races will be run under Pro rules so no shift-Rs are allowed.

Only reported incidents will be moderated.

If you would like to enter this series please submit an entry in the poll.

I think that all the dates and days are two days early.

I've voted for part-time participation. All of you have heard of my difficulties adapting to this mod (to the point it's not fun for me), but I'll keep trying, and join you for races I feel won't be complete frustration.

LOL  That wasn't the correction that I expected.   ;D

LOL   The mods had agreed to run 55s and 67s on Sundays and 65s and 66s on Tuesdays but I completed confused my posts (in my defence there is quite a lot of typing and database entries involved in setting up a season and it is easy to make a few mistakes which aren't obvious until the web site is assembled).  Hope you can still race on Sundays Clive.

Sundays are probably OK as I'm Brownie Point Rich at the minute as a result of building my wife a new kitchen!   ::)

I've even been allowed to start buying bits to upgrade my racing PC in accordance with Axel's formula!   :angel:

At this time, there is no information on tokens available per race.  The top of each registration thread, would be a good place for folks to find such.  And as a reward for this helpful suggestion, I hereby request five extra tokens per race. ;D

Hi Martin, at the top of the registration thread you will find a link to the championship page. This is where the tokens per race and the additional tokens for Amateurs is defined.

I cant get the 55 mod to work at spa67. it works with all other mods. also no track in the 55 season will work if spa67 is in there. I get " could not initialize the replay system". any ideas?

Try to delete or rename the track55.ini in the Spa67 folder  ;)

It comes with the 55 mod install...

Try to set the 67season with the 55mod in GEM+

Hello. I'd like to race Part Time in this series if possible. I will be away for Spa-humbug but should be around for Pau. See y'all soon. Thanks for hosting the '55 mod. Always a pleasure racing with you gents.

Cheers,

Will

Go on then - I've put <75% because I have absolutely no-idea where I'll be throughout the year.
I'll be taking the Garlic&Waza flavoured blue thing for all rounds because it's the best :P
Might only do this series though as having recently bought a Rift for the AC races I find it very hard coming back to 2D and fixrd views :(
