One is that it will be run on the 1985 game Formula One by CRL that ran on the Sinclair Spectrum.
Two is that only 6 people will be allowed to play.
Three is that it will be in realtime. I plan to run one or two rounds each evening around 9pm CET. Therefore enteries are limited to regulars in the mibbit chat room.
Whats real time? Well I give you basic informations and you can tell me to pit your driver and choose tyres.

Most teams will start with 700k to 1m. You need to choose one or two drivers. Prices are in bold. Order is as sponsorship.
Car Settings
Before each race you need to repair and upgrade your car. There are 4 ratings as explained below, but see the picture below too.
Driver - How good your driver is, the more expensive the better
Power - Engine, how fast does it go.
Car - Chassis, how does it take bends
Crew - Mechanics, the higher the number the better shape the car is kept in.
Overall Efficiency - Expressed as a precentage.
Car Worthiness - If the car is in a bad shape then you cannot race. If you have no money you skip a race and record a DNS.
When you start the game Power, Car and Crew are basically zero. Power and Car must be in the blue range else you cannot race. Crew can be in the red but I would recommend getting it into the blue so you don't have to fork out again for a chassis and an engine.
You can spend between 95 and 300k on buy a new engine or chassis. 95 is bare minimum, 300 is overkill. Somewhere between 110 and 200 will give you a decent amount of power.
After each race the ratings will change depend on what accidents you have and general wear and tear. If the bars are not red then you can improve each area by spending between 10 to 250k
The line shown, red is unraceworthy for Power or Car only. Blue is okay. Green is perfect.
Once all teams have done this then it's onto the race.
Race
I will tell you the track, weather and number of laps.
I then give you more information about what the weather might be like and you choose a tyre, Soft, Medium and Hard slicks, an intermediate and rain tyres.
Once everyone has choosen it's off to qualify. I will give you grid positions and times.
During the race I will give you lap count. And rough positions. If you want I can give you gaps of the top six.
I will tell you who has crashed, retired or is pitting, I will demand you give me a tyre choice.
If you want to pit your driver then just say so and I will bring him to the pits.
Tyres -
Depending on the track
Softs will last 1/3 to 1/2 distance.
Mediums will last 1/2 to full distnace
Hards will last the entire race
Inters and Rain will last the whole race unless the track gets dry.
Race End
After the race, I shall tell you the results and the points tables.
Next Race
We then get read for the next race and I tell you what you got in prize money and sponsorship as well as your expenses. Then you upgrade or repair your car again...
Fancy it? If so enter below with your three team choices, but remember if your name isn't on the door then you are not coming in....
