NEWS: F1 Update

Hi guys, read on for some important news regarding MRC F1 teams.

F1 Driver Contracts
A new update has been added to the F1 manual regarding driver contracts:

- Every F1 team can hire a driver at any point in the season.
- Only the Top 100 rated drivers will be able to receive a signing bonus, with the Top 50 rated drivers able to receive a bonus higher than 500,000.
- Drivers outside of the Top 200 rated drivers MUST pay for a seat in an F1 team of 1 million or more.

F1 Team Disqualification
If an F1 team has not named their 2 drivers for the forthcoming season by Day 72, 18:00 CET, they will be disqualified from taking place in the following F1 Season Series.

In-Season Driver Updates (PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE)
We came across a number of issues recently which need fixing. The following details all relate to what a driver can do and cannot do during a season in the F1 series in the near future.

• Retiring an F1 driver during a season will not be possible unless there are very, very good reasons for doing so. Examples of this would be as follows:
'F1 Team owner(s) make certain promises to the F1 driver, which are then broken during the season.'
'F1 Team owner(s) make radical changes to their strategy which directly affects the F1 driver'
In instances such as the above, the F1 Commissioner can give special dispensation regarding a driver retiring.

• If an F1 driver becomes inactive for 7 days or more, automatic testing will take place, even if the inactive F1 driver is without a Super Licence.

• In addition to the automatic testing for an inactive F1 driver, the F1 Team Manager will be allowed to set up strategies for the upcoming race(s). The Team Manager can change a strategy if one has not already been saved by the F1 driver.
