AKA - the 2007-Low-Budget version.

Yes it has returned and I am running it this year in the hopes of Arrows being able to return next year with his Super-spiffy version.

The rules are the same but the presentation is going to be very different. All of the results and standings will be posted in this forum. I think the season would be missing something if the FGP wasn't' running so I thought I would run it this year. I will make sure to have all of the results posted on Sunday, after the race of course, so long as nothing holds me up. There is only one time that I know of for sure that the results will not be posted until Monday and that will be for the USGP. The reason is that I will be attending the race.

Here are the rules for the 2007 FGP:

You are the owner of a Formula One team with a budget of £45,000,000 for the 2007 season.

To complete your team, you need to pick three drivers (two drivers + a £1m driver), a chassis and an engine. A list of drivers, chassis and engines, with their relative prices will be found below the rules. Two of your three drivers must come from this price list. Your third driver choice, who will cost you £1m, is any driver that does not appear on the price list. Finally you must pick a bonus GP which will score double points for your team at that race.

Points are awarded throughout the race weekend and are detailed below.

5th - 4pts 6th - 3pts 7th - 2pts 8th - 1pts

[align=left:1amgacmi]Chassis[/align:1amgacmi]
1st - 10pts 2nd - 8pts 3rd - 6pts 4th - 5pts
5th - 4pts 6th - 3pts 7th - 2pts 8th - 1pts

[align=left:1amgacmi]Engine[/align:1amgacmi]
1st - 10pts 2nd - 8pts 3rd - 6pts 4th - 5pts
5th - 4pts 6th - 3pts 7th - 2pts 8th - 1pts

Only the first chassis and engine that crosses the line scores points for your team.
A race disqualification loses you all points for the disqualified driver/chassis/engine for that race weekend.

In the event of two or more FGP teams scoring the same amount of points by the end of the season the winner will be decided by the number of race wins achieved by the FGP teams involved. If the teams cannot be separated by wins then the team owner who was first to submit their FGP2007 entry wins.
