Concept:
In the upcoming period to every real life F1 race you will have a chance to do an offline fast lap and submit your time here on this forum. We will start two weeks before the first race is held on Sunday 29th of March. Then, as soon as the race ends, the time trial period for the next race begins. The period ends when the race begins. This means sometimes you will have three weeks to put in a laptime and sometimes only two or even just one week.
For every race, the fastest 8 laptimes will get points. 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points for the respective positions.
All the points will be added and a leaderboard will be available to keep an eye on the standings. At the end of the season we will have three podium positions and crown our winner!
We hope that through this format which requires little time and planning on everyone's part, many people will find a chance to participate in this event and put in their lap times. Of course you can enter and leave the competition at any time you want and there is no obligation to put in laptimes for every race. All the submitted results will be counted and added.
You can post your laptime by posting it in the relevant topic and attaching a screenshot of the game showing your laptime. In some cases you may be asked for a replay file.
No driving aids are allowed, setups are completely free. No fixed amount of fuel and no fixed setups.
I will send round an email to all members inviting them to join in the fun. I hope many will decide to participate and together we'll make this event a fun succes! That didn't work so well. We will just have to spread the word.
If you want to participate, all you have to do is submit a laptime, no specific registration is needed for the event. You can respond below to let us know you're joining though if you want.
