2. F1 General Rules

1. Games will be played on one of the two provided racing simulator setups.

2. Players do not need to own a copy of the game.

3. As this is an experimental compo for us, it is possible some of these rules will change during the weekend. Communication if this happens will always be done via the Discord channel, so please make sure to join that and keep an eye on it.

4. Since we are using the setup provided by Red Bull, the Red Bull team cars will have to be selected.

3. Format

The competition consists of 2 phases:

• The Time Trial phase, where players can try to set their best times during a set period.

• The Playoff phase where the top four recorded participants will face off head-to-head.

The schedule can be found on the compo page on the website.

3.1 Time Trials

• The time trials are open to all attendees who purchased a FoM seat. 

• Signups for the compo will remain open until the Time Trial phase ends. This means players can sign up even after the time trials have started.

• Each participant may attempt as many trials as they want. However, the use of the racing simulators should be distributed fairly.

  • If the admins notice that this is not happening, certain restrictions may be placed at any time.

• The in-game Time Trial mode will be used, using the Silverstone (UK) circuit.

• After placing a personal best time, you must take a screenshot (i.e. use your phone) and go to the compo desk to have it submitted.

  • Alternatively, you can post a screenshot in the discord channel. Admins will keep an eye on there to update our ranking as well.

3.2 Playoffs

• The top four time trials will continue to a Single Elimination bracket (1vs1).

• Seeding will be based on the best time trials times.

• The format will be a Best of Three Time Trials. 

  • Only 1 chance of placing a best time, and the previous best times do not count anymore.

  • Both players will be play at the same time

• The circuits will be:

  • First Round: Zandvoort (NL)

  • Second Round: Spa (BE)

  • Third (Decider) Round: Saudi Arabia

• Whoever finishes with the fastest best time will win the circuit. Whoever wins two circuits, wins the match.

4. Settings

Normally, the settings are configured correctly on both racing seats. If you opt to change them (to make it more difficult), please make sure to change them back once you are done.

4.1 Assist Restrictions

These are the maximum restrictions that may be set. Participants are free to choose to have more difficult assist settings.

4.2 Game Settings

• Simulation Settings:

Again, these are the maximum restrictions that may be set. Participants are free to choose to have more difficult simulation settings.
