After the FIA decided to adopt a spec formula for the 1996 International Formula 3000 Championship, and with the Japan Race Promotion unwilling to do the same with Japanese Formula 3000 Championship, this meant that they could no longer use the Formula 3000 name in their championship, due to them using different regulations. Thus, they adopted the Formula Nippon moniker, and this brings us to the point where we are at now.

The Technical Stuff
I shall be using a game called Lights To Flag to simulate this, and this will conveniently bring me to the way you (the users) will enter this championship. You simply create a driver, and enter them into one of the available team slots. I will provide a format in which you can enter a driver, their nationality, and the slot that you want them to race in. If there isn't enough users that create drivers that fill the grid, you will get a chance to create a second driver.
The format for entering is here:
Code: Select all
Slot:
Driver name:
Nationality: Other information will come once the grid is filled up.
Note: At least half of the grid must be Japanese drivers.
