Introduction
Welcome to Presto GP
The Presto GP Formula Racing series is one of the most advanced formula simracing leagues of the world.
It was started in 2008 and is currently in the 8th season.
3 to 7 public practise servers are provided at all time as well as recording of all qualifying lap times.
Lap times can be reviewed on the Presto GP league website.
For this seasons race calendar we decided to regard the 2 week break between each GP more than a synchronisation with the real F1 calendar.
That means that only 2 GPs the Malaysian and the Bahrain GP will go by the F1 2012 season.
Calendar

Session Info
All times are in British Time.
Notice the Clock Change in Britain to Summer Time on 25th of March,
depending on where you live this may affect the start times for you.
To be sure not to miss a race see the Countdown Timer at the beginning of this post
or the current British Time above.
19:00 Free Practise
20:00 3 Practise Starts + Pit Stop Test
20:10 Superpole Qualifying
20:15 Warmup
20:20 Race (~ 70 minutes)
It is possible that the duration of the race is much longer in case of rain.
Liveries
Customized car skins are not mandatory but are always welcome :)
Liveries can be changed any time during the season.
See the Skin thread for further information on how to create skins.
Standings and Points
Current standings of the Drivers Championship can be found here.
Season 8 does not include a Team Championship.
All Drivers who finish a Grand Prix score points towards the Drivers Championship,
according to the following scale:

Penalties
Presto GP does not make any use of a penalty system, each driver is expected to behave responsibly at all time.
Incidents are analized after each race involving all drivers in order to get a learning effect for everyone.
Should a driver not stick to the Racing Guidelines he will either receive a warning, or, in serious or repeated cases,
be banned from the league.
Weather
Each session of a Grand Prix is run with customized weather created by our weather guru Daniel Hansson.
Daniel will post 2 weather forecasts for every Grand Prix.
The first forecast will be posted 1 week and the second 1 day before the race.
Drivers can use this information to decide wether they want to gamble and only practise for a dry race
or play it safe and practise for both dry and wet conditions.
On this graph you can see the required tires for the different levels of humidity:

Absent
Presto GP relies on consistent drivers.
Before you sign up make sure that you are available for most of the racing dates.
Should you be unable to make it for one of the races please give notice in the forum as soon as possible.
Sign-Up
Sign-ups are possible at any time between as well as during seasons.
Applicants usually have to run through a testing period before getting the green light to drive a league race.
