F1-Fantasy.net

What's this site about?
F1-Fantasy.net, is an F1 Fantasy league web site where you bet on F1 results just for the fun of it!

How does it works? Once you have registered, you will receive an e-mail reminder before each Grand-Prix week-end. You then have until 1 hour before the start of the Grand-Prix to log on to F1-Fantasy.net and predict which 10 drivers will cross the finish line in which order. I recommend you check the qualifying results before doing so, as this is a good indication on who will perform well over the week-end. Like the real championship, and in line with the changes introduced by the FIA for 2010, you score 25 points for the 1st place, 18 points for the 2nd place and so on, for each correct prediction. When you predict the correct driver but in the wrong finish order, you only score a fraction of the full points. Once the Grand-Prix results are published, come back and see how much you scored compared to the other competitors. If you're not already registered, you can do so by clicking here.

What are the main changes for 2011?

Adjustable rear wings
Referred to as the "DRS system", the ajustable rear wing is electronically controlled by the drivers. It changes the angle of the rear wing so as to reduce downforce and increase straight line speed. The system, like KERS, is aimed at increasing overtaking. The system can be used at anytime in practice and qualifying. During the race, however, it can only be activated on a distinct part of the circuit and only if a car is under 1 second behind another one. The DRS system is deactivated as soon as the car hits the brakes.

KERS
Introduced in 2009 and dropped the following year, KERS is making a comeback. The system stores the energy wasted under braking and makes it available to the driver via a "boost" button, on a fixed amount per lap. Like the DRS system, it is optional.

Tyres
Bridgestone having withdrawn from the competition, it is now Pirellli, the Italian Manufacturer, who takes over as sole supplier. The amount of dry-weather tyre sets are reduced from 14 to 11 over the course of a race week-end. During a dry race, each car will need to use the two tyre specifications (prime and option).

Gearboxes
Gearboxes need to last for 5 race week-ends.

F-ducts and double diffusers are banned
Drivers are no longer allowed to dynamically change the car aerodynamics, which means the F-ducts are banned. The double diffusers are also banned.

107% qualifying rule
In the first phase of qualifying, drivers have to set a time within 107% of the pole position timing. Failing that, they will not be allowed to take part in the race, although stewards may allow these cars to take part in exceptional circumstances.

Team orders
The clause forbidding team orders has now been removed from the regulations.
