The RulesGeneral Rules- Each team must enter a maximum of 2 cars at all races. They do NOT have to be the same chassis type, but they MUST use the same engine.
- Points are 9-6-4-3-2-1 and all points count to the title.
- Teams that are in the red once the season has finished and all prize money distributed will be declared bankrupt. The next person on the waiting list will then have the opportunity to move up into the series.
Marketplace- The Marketplace for 1990 will open once all team spots are filled
- Each team must purchase a minimum of two chassis and two engines. You may purchase more as necessary, but no team can own more than three chassis at any one time.
- As with last year, every manufacturer has a set number of chassis available at the start of the year, but more will become available randomly as the year goes along, so keep an eye out for them.
- There are an unlimited number of engines available from each manufacturer.
- Due to the boom of the used F3000 car market with the birth of British F3000 and Formula Holden, and the growth of Japanese F3000, resale values of cars have increased substantially. At the end of the season, teams can sell their chassis for the following resale values:
1990-spec: 70% of new value
1989-spec: 60% of new value
1988-spec: 50% of new value
1987-spec: 40% of new value
- If the car is sold in a damaged state, repair costs will be deducted from the sale price. The minimum sale or scrap price is 10% of market value
- Teams are also free to do private sales or lease deals among themselves
Damage- The big difference from last year is the abolishing of the wear system. Instead, a modified version of the damage system used in Tommykl's Alt-F1 will be adopted.
- For every race-ending accident or collision that a driver is involved in, an RNG will be rolled depending on the severity of the crash. The categories are as follows:
Category 1: 0-25% the cost of the chassis
2: 20-45%
3: 40-65%, 5% of driver injury
4: 60-85%, 5% chance of a write-off, 10% of driver injury
5: 80-105%, 10% chance of a write-off, 20% of driver injury
(For reference, the vast majority of accidents will be in the 1-2 range)
- For each mechanical failure caused by an oil leak, water leak or outright engine failure, a similar RNG will be run. The range will be from 0-50 for oil and water leaks, and 0-105 for outright engine failures, with any value over 100 being considered a total write-off. Any engine that is deemed a write-off will have a residual scrap value of 10% of original value.
- All damage must be repaired before each race, or a spare car can be entered in its place.
- Damage can either be repaired by the manufacturer, or at Renzo Engineering for half the price. Renzo Engineering repairs are known for being rather interesting, for lack of a better term, so be prepared for random side effects when you get your cars back from them.
AgingAt the end of each season, chassis will undergo aging to reflect their growing obsolescence. As the chassis system has been adopted from ARWS, aging will be as follows:
1990-Spec Car1 Year (start of 1991): -3 DF, +2 Handling, +1000 CFP
2 Years (1992): -2 DF, -1 Handling, +1500 CFP
3 Years (1993): Trust me, you don't want to know
1989-Spec Car2 Years (1990): -2 DF, -1 Handling, +1500 CFP
3 Years (1991): See 3 years for 1989-spec cars
1988-Spec Cars3 Years (1990): Good luck to you. You're gonna need it
