Rules

Joining

To join, just pick an empty slot from the list on the second reply. These are all teams from the 2006 F1 season.

The Races

The Sprint Race
At random times, i start races, and when a race starts you will try to reply 'finish' here as soon as possible as you can.

The Feature Race
This race is a little more long, but not so hard. After the start is announced, players must post ‘Start’ as quickly as possible

Then they must wait for an hour, then post ‘pit’

Then they must wait for another hour before posting ‘finish’ to end the race.

The first person to post ‘start’ will receive 3 point as a “pole bonus”. Those pitting/finishing too early (before the hour passed) will be blighted by a mechanical failure and will retire from the race.

1st – 12 pts
2nd – 11 pts
3rd – 10 pts
4th – 9 pts
5th – 8 pts

Peter is one of the best F1 driver, we will help together to advance. I am very enthusiastic to race against my last teamate Thomas, and against all the other drivers.
