Official 2020 Season Preview

Post by Klon »

2020 Formula One Season Preview - Tomorrow Comes Today
Formula One has jumped into a new age, as the old combustion engines have been replaced with state-of-the-art fuel cell. With many regulation changes, you have to wonder whether racing will ever be the same? However, the spirit of Formula One never dies and we will see 12 teams and 24 drivers battle at 23 venues, for all the glory.

Rule Changes:
- The former twin-turbo 1.6 I4 engine/3.0 naturally-aspirated V10 engine combination is replaced with a hydrogen fuel cell motor.
- The minimum weight of the cars is increased to 755 kg to account for new technology and to significantly reduce the advantage of lighter and smaller drivers.
- The two-race format is replaced with only one race per weekend with a single race with at the least number of laps required to exceed 185 kilometres, the distance being inspired by the classic BRDC International Trophy.
- With the race format, the forced pitstops are removed. Tyre supplier Continental is expected to produce tyres that will require at least one pitstop per race on most circuits, however there is no required stop.
- Only 10 people are permitted to work on the car during a pitstop, two tire changers for each side (which may not work on more than one tire at a time), four tire carriers, plus a "Lollipop man" (who must be used, as traffic light systems have been banned) and two jack men. Further personnel is only permitted to repair damaged cars, e.g. if a front wing has broken off. This means stops are going to take around 9 seconds now. To counteract this loss of time, the pitlane speed limit has been raised to 125 kmh.
- Instead of team-assigned racing numbers, Formula 1 drivers instead pick a number that they will carry for their entire career.
- The regulations for rear wings have been loosened with teams being able to run significantly more downforce on the rear end.
- The front wing endplate must now be a flat plate of 6mm thickness with no aerodynamic devices permitted on the outer side. A logo of F1 tyre supplier Continental must be placed on the outer side of the endplate with no further sponsorship permitted on the endplate.
- To increase safety, cars must now have a short, stubby nosecone connected to the front wing by sloping vertical spars which allowed more airflow to the underside of the car. This concept, which has earned the nickname "walrus nose" is supposed to reduce the risk of a car launching up another one in case of an accident.
- A five-place grid penalty will be applied to any car which uses more than three motors and/or gearboxes in a season.
- A three-place grid penalty will be applied to any driver which fails to report to the mandatory press conferences after qualifying and after the race in time.
- Qualifying returns to the pre-2010 session times, i.e. 15 minutes for Q1, 15 minutes for Q2 and 20 minutes for Q3.
- All teams are permitted to test up to 25,000 km outside of the official mid-season testing, but only after September 15.
- For the first time, a Formula One Rookie Draft will be held at the end of the year where teams can draft young talent to improve their team.

Sponsorship Choice + Lead Designer Market

Post by Klon »

We will start the 2020 season the same way we started 2019.

Sponsorship

Each team will be offered a main sponsorship contract by two sponsors at the start of the season, which will pay certain amounts of money, depending on which driver the team hires. The two sponsors are assigned a Primary Target Region and a Secondary Target Region. Any team may retain the chosen sponsor four times starting from this year on. There are three possible driver choices.

Primary Target Region - The main focus of the sponsor's advertisement interests. Hiring a driver from this region will pay out €50,000,000 for teams finishing in P10 to P13 in last year's WCC, €35,000,000 for teams finishing in P5 to P9 in last year's WCC and new teams and €15,000,000 for teams finishing in P1 to P4 in last year's WCC.
Secondary Target Region - The secondary focus of the sponsor's advertisement interests. Hiring a driver from this region will pay out €35,000,000 for teams finishing in P10 to P13 in last year's WCC, €25,000,000 for teams finishing in P5 to P9 in last year's WCC and new teams and €5,000,000 for teams finishing in P1 to P4 in last year's WCC.
No Paydriver - The sponsor will support you without asking for anything but a spot on your car and in your team name. Not hiring a driver from either region will pay out €15,000,000 for teams finishing in P10 to P13 in last year's WCC, €5,000,000 for teams finishing in P5 to P9 in last year's WCC and new teams and €2,000,000 for teams finishing in P1 to P4 in last year's WCC.

Any Target Region driver must compete in all Grand Prix weekends of the respective Alternate Formula One season, unless injury or bans prevent a driver under contract to appear in a race. A driver from a Target Region condition can be released, as long as he is replaced with a driver that is from the same region. Should a team fail to replace the driver with a fitting one, they must return an amount of money equal to the difference between the money paid out for the specific condition and the money they would have recieved for fulfilling no condition.

A Target Region driver is hired when a driver has the nationality of any nation within the determined Target Region out of eight possible regions:

File here!

In case of the administration making a factual error regarding overseas territories or similar topics or the map proving unclear, the administration will decide in which region a specific driver belongs. Same also applies to dual nationalites and other fringe cases.

Switching conditions (outside of the abovementioned "move" from a condition to no condition) and/or switching sponsors during the season is not permitted.

The list of sponsors for each team is as follows:

## Calinetic ##
Gazprom:
Primary Region - Northern Asia
Secondary Region - Atlantic Ocean

Zepter:
Primary Region - Central & Southern Europe
Secondary Region - Latin America


## Dawson ##
Ebro Foods:

Lead Designer

The lead designer is a key element for every great Formula 1 car. No car can be great, if the man responsible for the final decisions is a baffoon. Therefore, you will need to hire a lead designer to head the design process.

Lead designers can be hired at the start of a season. Any unemployed lead designer can be signed by a team with the team chosen by the designer decided by a RNG weighted on contract length and previous WCC position. Lead designers can only be signed for up to 8 years and cannot be sacked during an active contract. Every even season, the performance of all lead designers are randomly modified.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After reading through that, you will now be asked to fill out the following until May 17, 6:45 p.m. CEST:

- Everyone besides works teams and the teams mentioned below:

Car Market
During any time during the game, four motor manufacturers are available and are represented through so-called "works teams". Should any work team change hands and should the first user on the waiting list choose to not retain the identity of the works team, the administration may choose a new manufacturer and respective works team at their own digression.

These are the current works teams in Alternate Formula One:
Ferrari - Ferrari (biscione)
Judd - Caterham (kevinbotz)
Mercedes-Benz - Precision (Wizzie)
Toyota - Toyota (normal32)

The four works teams provide hydrogen motors.

Each of these four works teams is responsible for agreeing on engine contracts with the so-called "customer teams" (with the exception of Toyota in 2020) with a maximum engine price of €40,000,000. There is no upper limit to the length of an engine contract, but engine contracts can only be agreed on in full seasons, unless both sides can present a convincing in-character reasoning for not doing so. Works teams get their engines for free and 10 per-cent of the price of each engine contract added to their budget after the 15th race of the season. Modifying an engine contract during the season is forbidden, except adding additional clauses if both the customer and the works team agree to do so. Engine deals with bankrupt teams become void, unless the new user has decided to continue a team taken over mid-season as it is.

Should a customer team fail to come to an agreement with any of the four works teams, the administration will look at all potential offers made to said team. Should it find any of those reasonable in relation to the prices other customer teams pay, it will order the customer team in question to accept the offer. Should it find none reasonable, the engine manufacturer's works team with the least amount of customers (with the exception of Toyota in 2020) will be requested to sell to said team at a reasonable price. The administration reserves the right to exclude users as needed if neither method results in an agreement.

Every team must build a chassis at the start of the year. Building a completely new chassis during the season is not permitted. The grip value of the chassis is determined by three seperate factors: the Lead Designer, the Design Concept and the Personnel.

After reading through that, you will now be asked to fill out the following until May 27, 1:00 a.m. CEST:

Code: Select all

Team
Design Concept: CFD-only/Wind tunnel-only/CFD + wind tunnel
Personnel: Student Interns/Recent Graduates/Experienced Staff/Elite Designers

You can go into debt freely, as long as your budget is above or at 0 at the start of the season - sponsorship is only applied after driver signing (unless a driver fulfilling a sponsorship clause is already under contract).

Unfortunately, your budget doesn't add up, as you would end up one million short. Ferrari has offered you a 2 year deal with 31m in the first and 33m in the second year. Let me know whether that is okay or whether you want to change personnel and/or design concept.

Unfortunately, your budget doesn't add up, as you would end up one million short. Ferrari has offered you a 2 year deal with 31m in the first and 33m in the second year. Let me know whether that is okay or whether you want to change personnel and/or design concept.

I've received the same message from Biscione a moment ago, and approve this deal.

Here's your weekly reminder than former F1 world champion and ARWS race winner Daniel Melrose is looking for a good home in 2020. Will accept payments in bottles of Canadian Club :P

For reference, his preferred race numbers are 73, 74 or 37 in that order

Likewise, talented rookie Mineiro, runner up in AutoReject 3.5 last season, is searching for a competitive drive!

Driver Market + Update Plans

Post by Klon »

Driver Market
Each team must employ at least two racing drivers and may employ one "third driver"; both real-life drivers and fictional drivers are permitted.

Any driver that is to compete in Alternate Formula One requires a superlicense. You can find the rules for superlicenses here:
https://formularejects.com/wiki/Alterna ... 75_Drivers

Drivers can be signed at the start of the year as well as at any point during the season, except during a Grand Prix weekend. However, no driver can be hired whilst the position he is to be hired for is still occupied by another driver. Furthermore, each team is limited to 5 drivers unless force majeure forces a team to hire more drivers. Due to the method of execution, a third driver serving as Friday Tester cannot be hired after the seventh Grand Prix weekend of any Alternate Formula One season. There is no limit to the amounts of offers a team can make to free agents except the mental and time limits of the administration.

During the Driver Market at the start of the year, each team may offer contracts to any number of drivers for each of the three driver spots available to each team. These contracts must specify the role of the driver, the driver's wage, the contract duration and state additional clauses. To simulate a more realistic negotation, you are kindly requested to provide a range in which you are willing to negotiate.Please note that teams may only offer a financial bonus as additional clause to a driver for WDC and/or WCC position and/or beating their teammate over the course of a full season.

Contract duration must be stated in a number of races. If the contract goes longer than a year, the agreed wage must be paid again at the start of each season the driver is under contract. Clauses specify additional conditions and privilieges of the contract sides not covered in other parts of the contract. Teams may only offer a financial bonus to a driver for WDC and/or WCC position. Furthermore, if the administration considers a clause unclear, the administration will read the clause in the most advantageous way for the driver.

For real-life drivers, a RNG will determine whether he signs the contract. The RNG values will be determined by the administration. Any RNG result is final, unless there is reasonable doubt about the quality of the RNG values. For fictional drivers, the respective DEC holder determines whether a contract offer is accepted.

Edit to point out rule §5.6.a: The administration can modify contracts with fictional drivers if it considers the contract either unfairly advantageous to the team hiring the driver or egregiously inconsistent with the actions of the character in previous appearances.

A driver can have one of two roles: racing driver or third driver. The two racing drivers are the drivers that actively compete during the Grand Prix weekend. The third driver has one out of three specific, predetermined jobs. A third driver may either be a Driver Coach or Simulator Driver. The job of the third driver must be determined at the start of the contract and may only be changed once the contract has concluded or has been terminated.

These are the possible jobs of third drivers and the requirements to serve in that job:

Driver Coach - improves the performance of any driver under the age of 25 (requirement: third driver must be 30 years or older at the start of the calendar year he is under contract; requirements for superlicense mentioned above do not apply).

Simulator Tester - improves the performance of the driver when used as racing driver in the following seasons (requirement: third driver must be 25 years or younger at the start of the calendar year he is under contract; requirements for superlicense mentioned above do not apply).

If a team releases a driver before his contract is over, he is entitled to compensation unless a clause justifies his release or states there is no compensation to be paid. The compensation is calculated according to this formula: Wage for the full season of sacking * 1.5. If a team temporarily replaces a driver before his contract is over, he is entitled to the same compensation, unless a clause justifies his replacement. However, to return a driver to his role, no additional wage must be paid. During an unjustified temporary replacement, any other team may sign the driver to a contract if the original team is given either a first-round pick in the Formula One Rookie Draft or €3,000,000 as compensation.

Regardless of any clauses, any real-life driver can be sacked without paying compensation if the driver has scored less than 20 % of the points of his teammate after 6 Grand Prix weekends after the start of his contract if said teammate has scored at least 25 points. Any fictional driver can be sacked without paying compensation if the DEC owner has made in-character comments that can be interpreted as a desire to leave the team or excessive criticism of the team as defined by the administration. Driver contracts of bankrupt teams with real-life drivers can be terminated by the new user if he decides to keep the identity of the bankrupt team, driver contracts of bankrupt teams with fictional drivers can be terminated by both sides if the fictional driver is offered a contract by another team. If the user chooses to enter a new team, any existing contracts are void.

Any rules regarding temporary replacement do not apply when the driver is unavailable to compete due to injury, bans or force majeure. Any replacement driver signed to replace a driver that is unavailable to compete due to injury, bans or acts of god do not need to be paid any wage, insurance covering those costs. Should a mid-weekend replacement be required, any team may either use their third driver if he was predetermined to be either a Driver Coach or a Friday Tester or acquire the services of a third driver in either of those jobs from another team. Should no replacement be determined in time, the car of the driver to be replaced will not compete in the second Grand Prix of the weekend. Any driver that is to compete in Alternate Formula One and is below 18 years old at the start of the calendar year he is to compete in will be subject to a 10%-chance injury RNG to account for the massive physical strain at the conclusion of each Grand Prix weekend.

Active Alternate Formula One drivers can freely participate in other series as well. It is the responsibilty of the involved users to avoid schedule conflicts. Any time paradoxes resulting as a consequence of double-dutying will be punished by having said driver banned from Alternate Formula One for 5 years and any other DECs (in case of fictional drivers) by said user being banned for the rest of the currently running season. In case of a real-life driver having an unresolved schedule conflict, the team-owning user in question will be excluded from the game, regardless of whether he owns the team in the other series causing the paradox unless the series owner of that series has caused the paradox by allowing the driver in question to sign in the series despite having known about the driver's Alternate Formula One commitment, running the real-life driver in a race he was not supposed to and refusing to rerun the race or modifying their schedule to deal with the time paradox.

Any driver, at the start of their career in Alternate Formula One - Hydrogen Era can pick freely any unused racing number from 2-99 to represent them for the entirety of their entire career. For the first season with this numbering system, the selection process is undertaken in the order of the previous World Driver's Championship standings. The number selection for real-life drivers is undertaken by the administration. Fictional drivers have their number selected by the team owner of the team they begin their career with.

Upgrade Plans

At the start of the year, each team hands in an upgrade plan to the administration, stating if, when and how they want to apply upgrades. Any upgrade takes three races from either building the chassis or the last upgrade to develop. The cost of any upgrade is only subtracted from the budget of the team applying it at the point where its effect becomes active. Any team may, from the 11th race of the season, cancel the remaining upgrades on their upgrade plan at no cost. Should a team use upgrades in a manner that improves their car performance to the point where it exceeds the performance levels possible with the game mechanics, the difference between the mathematical performance and the actual performance is paid out to the team at the start of the following season

During the season, teams are permitted to have a negative budget as consequence of executing an upgrade plan. Drivers of teams that are in the minus during the season suffer a loss of performance.

After reading through that, you will now be asked to fill out the following until May 30, 11:00 p.m. CEST:

Red Bull did not have a financially valid chassis selection and had their chassis RNG'd with Recent Graduates instead of Experienced Staff. Should you not offer enough drivers a contract and end up without one, I will make offers on your behalf (and that will be ugly). If you have questions, feel free to ask me. :)
