BRISTOL PEGASUS FANTASY F1 2010

The Bristol Pegasus Fantasy Formula One competition is now into its 15th year and continues to be popular with members.

 

Our rules differ a little from those found in the “real” F1 championship so make sure you read them carefully. 

 

We will accept entries upto the first race – the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Entries should arrive by Friday 12th March - Good Luck !

The Rules
You must choose TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS and TWO DIFFERENT CARS and ONE ENGINE from the listings below to make up your team. You may choose any driver and team combination – for example you can put Jenson Button in a Lotus if you wish. Your team budget is £100m. You may spend less but if you exceed the budget your team WILL NOT be accepted for entry. For every £1M you are under budget you will receive a one off bonus of 5 points at the start of the season.

 

Your driver scores only when he is racing, and the cars and drivers MUST be classified by the FIA as a finisher to score points. Substitute drivers do not count. If your driver looses his seat, he’s out of the championship; however, the rest of your team can still score. Likewise, if one of the teams packs up and goes home, your drivers and other car can still score. Team and engine scores are based on the highest finishing machine of your chosen make. Engines score 1/2 points. There are also bonus points for pole position and fastest lap for finishing cars and drivers. In the case of duplicate entries, if things are close at the end of the season, the organisers may ask for an additional tie break choice to be made before the last race of the season.

Here’s how it works (all points apply to both the drivers and the cars):

Like real Formula 1 we have changed our points scoring this year, and our scores are now the same as in the real series. We were awarding 25 points for 1^st place last year as well, so it seems that Bernie must read Backfire as he has copied us for 2010.

 

The 2010 system will see 25 points for first, 18 for second, with third receiving 15, 12 for fourth and then ten, eight, six, four, two, and one for tenth place.

 

In our series Engines score half point. Note : Scores published in Backfire each month will be rounded to the nearest whole point.

Improvement Points:
Unlike previous years in 2010 there will be no improvement points.

Race Bonus Points :
Pole position – 5 points.
Fastest lap – 5 points.
Hat-trick (pole, fastest lap & win) – 5 extra points.

Duplicate teams are inevitable with the number of entries received each season. We therefore ask for a Tie Break - “Joker Race” - Nominate the one race at which you think your team will perform at it's best. In the event of a tie at the end of the season your points from this race will be doubled. You will not score double points unless there is a tie. The organisers may ask additional questions if it still looks as though the fantasy championship is heading for a tie towards the end of the season.

 

Entry is free and open to all club members. Spouses may also submit an entry. Results will be published in Backfire each month and will be available between magazines on the club website.

Prizes – Whilst our Fantasy F1 contest is mostly for fun, A Motorsport DVD of your choice or gift voucher upto the value of £15 will be awarded to the winner.
