2026 Season

Race Rules & Scoring

Simple rules. Smart strategy. Lights out.

🏎️ How It Works
🔴
Pick 1
Front Runner
A driver who finished 4th–10th last race
🟡
Pick 2
Midfield Driver
A driver who finished 11th or lower last race
⚔️
Pick 3
Battle Pick
Head-to-head — who finishes ahead?

Scoring is based on official Grand Prix race results only — not qualifying, not sprint races. Three picks. One weekend. Every race counts.

⚔️ Battle Pick Rules
  • 🎯 One head-to-head matchup is created each week by the administrator — could be teammates or any two drivers on the grid.
  • 🤔 You pick which driver finishes ahead of the other in the Grand Prix.
  • ✅ Correct pick: +10 bonus points added to your race total.
  • ❌ Incorrect pick: 0 bonus points. No penalty — just no reward.

🚦 Driver Eligibility

🔴 Front Runner

  • ✔️ Must select a driver who finished 4th–10th in the previous race.
  • 🚫 Drivers who finished 1st, 2nd, or 3rd last race are not eligible for the Front Runner slot.
Example

If Driver A finished 4th last race → Driver A is eligible as your Front Runner.
If Driver B finished 2nd last race → Driver B cannot be picked as your Front Runner.

🟡 Midfield Driver

  • ✔️ Must select a driver who finished 11th or lower in the previous race.
  • 🚫 Any driver who finished 1st–10th last race is not eligible for the Midfield slot.
Example

If Driver X finished 10th last race → Driver X cannot be your Midfield pick next race.
If Driver Y finished 11th last race → Driver Y is eligible.

⏱️ Pick Deadline
  • 🏁 Picks must be submitted before qualifying begins that race weekend.
  • 🔒 Once qualifying starts, all picks are locked. No edits. No exceptions.
  • 🔔 We send reminder emails 24 hours and 2 hours before the deadline. Use them.
💨 Missed Pick Policy
  • 🚫 Miss the deadline → 0 points for that race weekend. No exceptions.
  • 🔒 No retroactive edits or manual changes allowed after the lock time.
  • 💡 Depending on your league format, your lowest score(s) may be dropped at season end — softening the blow. See scoring formats below.
