With normal32's permission, welcome to season 1 of European Formula 3!
The Simulator
Grand Prix 2. Same as everyone uses...
The Spreadsheet
Like my other series, this contains all the information of your teams, and is visible at the bottom of this post or via this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dKpT2pv73ig-xbO-JK2vLSrvmfGr18Co9cRKej_jxc0/edit?usp=sharing
The Cars
As promised last year, there will be a new spec chassis for European F3 season- the Lola T20/30, powered by a conventional Opel V4T engine.
The Drivers
- Drivers can be real-life or fictional
- Fictional drivers require the written approval of the driver's DEC in order to be signed.
- Drivers must be at least 16 years old before the start of the season. I will ask all participants to show a proof of age from either the Formula Rejects Wiki, wikipedia or driverDB
- Drivers can be of any nationality.
- I have the final say on which drivers are suitable for this series.
Drivers who have already been confirmed on the wiki page must be run this season, unless there is a good reason not to (driver has found employment elsewhere)
The Teams
The F3 grid will comprise of 26 cars divided into 12 teams. Each team must be based within Europe and must compete under a European Racing License. The team which ran the driver's champion of the previous season will be awarded a third car along with the team's champion. If the team's champion is the same outfit which ran the driver's champion, the runner-up in the team's champion will be awarded a third car. If the team which ran the driver's champion elects to leave the sport, third cars will be awarded to the team's champion and the team's runner-up of the previous season, and so on until two teams are running 3 cars. Running a third car does not affect your team in any way. The remaining 10 teams are only entitled to run 10 cars.
Events
Each race weekend is called an Event, and is divided into two races. The first is the 100km feature race, with the winner of this event receiving the weekend's named trophy as a prize (e.g. BRDC International Trophy). The second race of the weekend is the 50km sprint race, with the winner of this event not receiving a named trophy.
Each race will have it's own qualifying session, which will last 15 minutes.
The Points System
1 - 15 pts
2 - 12 pts
3 - 10 pts
4 - 8 pts
5 - 6 pts
6 - 5 pts
7 - 4 pts
8 - 3 pts
9 - 2 pts
10 - 1 pt
Pole Position - 2 pts
The Gimmick - Driver Points
The Gimmick for this series is driver points. You can spend driver points on improving your driver's speed or your driver's consistency. Driver points can be accumulated by writing news articles in the thread, with articles of varying length generating more driver points. Those who do not feel like writing long articles do not need to - a simple title and one line is enough to generate driver points. Driver points can be spent on your driver at any point in the season, but articles written before the final Grand Prix of the season do not carry over into next season. Please see the spreadsheet for more details.
The Penalty System
There will not be a penalty point system for F3. However, on-track indiscretions will be appropriately sanctioned. Appropriate sanctions include the removal of driver points, a race ban, or an event ban, although this list is non-exhaustive. I have full control over what is deemed an appropriate sanction.
The Race Calendar
Please see the wiki.
The Entry List
Team owners from 2019 must check in to continue to run their teams. Teams with TBA are open to offer from users. If enough users can't be found to run 12 teams, then I will allocate users two teams.
Remember that teams with confirmed drivers MUST run those drivers unless those drivers are employed elsewhere.
I have the final say on who gets what entry.
Prema Powerteam / Prema-Status Superteam - 3 cars - TBA (3 confirmed drivers)
Plus One Racing Engineering - Pasta (1 confirmed driver)
Carlin - Gonzalez
Magnussen Racing Experience - Bandon23
Red Bull HYPERNOVA - Ataxia and Klon (2 confirmed drivers)
