Season Two Ideas

This idea probably has a lot of flaws to be fixed but we'll share this with you anyway.

The season will be run in 2011 based performance cars. Each car has a value, e.g Red Bull 50m, HRT 6m. The faster the car the more expensive. Also, each driver will be given a sum of money at the start of the season, with the supposed faster drivers receiving the lowest amount, e.g 150m, and the slow drivers receiving 350m. Each car has a fixed amount of prize money for each position they finish in, the slower the car/higher position = more money. The faster the car/lower position = least money. E.g HRT's prize money for finishing first is 150m, Red Bull's prize money for finishing first is 50m.



The "slower drivers" will have first pick of car for the first race. From the 2nd race onwards, the person who finishes in last place from the previous race will have first pick for the next. Anybody who crashes out from a race will receive £0 prize money, but will be allowed first pick for the next race. Loans will be allowed if you ran out of money, although every 1m you loan, 1 point will be deducted from your championship points total.

Obviously this sort of format is more strategical and will hopefully even the field out. There will be no teammates, 12 drivers max. driving 12 different cars. You will not be allowed to pick the same car in successive races, unless when its your turn to pick a car, the only one remaining is the one you have previously driven.




Any thoughts, questions or faults with the idea please let us know.

I think the idea of teammates in this format would make this more interesting because it could sometimes rely less on driver skill and more on key races where the slower driver is competitive and they can splash out on a Red Bull or a Mclaren and haul in a load of points. You could do it either by drivers choice or by random names out of a hat, or pair the winner of the league with 12th, 2nd with 11th and so on until you get to 6th and 7th. Just a suggestion.

If anyone has any alternative ideas then feel free to share them

Two tiers seperated and judged by player "skill". Top league to race with assists off, lower league to race how they please. Possibly make a sprint race and endurance of each track, one of the two to be raced with a whole grid and not seperated tiers. Thoughts and other ideas please share

Quali + Sprint Race Followed by Endurance Race, Points for both. Reverse Results of Sprint Race for Endurance Race Grid.

Dunno how to decide teams

Similar to most others ideas, mine is just basing it off that and trying to add something different. I'm all for the idea of two races so long as its something different to the last season. One problem with the reversed results order is that you cant set up two races at different race lengths so it would mean having to do what we did at Monza and having to give everybody a certain lap time to get in position.





Further to my idea though, we can review performances every x races to see if anybody deserves to be swapped to the other league. Possibly 30% sprint with everybody + quali, then 75% with the grid sorted somehow in two tiers.

i thought that the 'race director' saved the results so all you would have to do is change track distance and grid order in lobby then start it?

No idea tbh

i've also got 2 peeps that would like to join, shall i just get them to sign up to the forum or would the facebook page be better?

Signing up to both would be good, I only really created the facebook page so that if something on here needed looking at then I can write it on there to let them know.

We should try that out, I'm liking the sprint and endurance idea. I was thinking about maybe using an alternate points scheme maybe for more than 10 places because I was wondering about having the two tiers sharing the same points. It would go on the time that everyone finishes. for example, you came 3rd in the top tier and finished 50 seconds behind the leader, but in the lower tier someone was closer to the winning time so they would take that 3rd place demoting you to 4th, thus making everyone push hard until the end making every little mistake crucial, and adding unpredicability which can make things a bit more exciting.

We found that idea wouldnt work cause of different weather and safety cars.

If that whole lot turn up then obviously two leagues would be a certainty. I'll ask around those im not sure on to see if theyre interested in another season and will post a poll later to let you all vote what you want.

Hi im Phlzs friend can you add me into the new season
