The Cars
There will be little deviation from the cars that were run in real F1 in this time period, mostly slight performance adjustments based on the previous performance of a team the season before.
The Drivers
Before the start of each season, you are free to offer contracts for two driver slots.
Your choice will be limited in that you must fulfill two out of three objectives when signing drivers. Those objectives will be given and explained to you in private.
If multiple teams are looking for a certain driver, RNG will decide their fate.
The Teams
11 teams for 1998, 2 cars per team. Those 11 teams have been determined by the needs of the canon and previous developments:
Winfield Williams (novitopoli)
Scuderia Ferrari (biscione)
Benetton Arrows Playlife (kevinbotz)
West McLaren Mercedes (salamander)
Benson & Hedges Jordan (Reject_Dom)
Gauloises Prost Peugeot (ataxia)
Red Bull Sauber Petronas (wizzie)
HSBC Stewart Ford (pinkd56)
PIAA Tyrrell Ford (This Could Be You)
Fondmetal Minardi Team (Normal32)
MasterCard Lola Formula One Racing Team (petoli)
Team "management" will be assigned by me. You may voice the team you desire and I may ask you questions if I am unsure whether to entrust the team to your management. All taken teams will be announced by me in this thread.
The Race Weekend
305 km except Monaco, you all know how a Formula One race works. Furthermore, there will be two one-hour sessions to determine the grid.
The Points System
10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 for the time being.
The Race Calendar
I'll let the Wiki speak for itself.
If this is all automated, what do I do?
You pick the drivers, hope for the best and if you wish, you may change the lineup by replacing a driver with a driver picked from one of my suggestions if you can provide a good justification
