1. OverviewGrand Prix Racin' Online be a web based motor sport management game, where ye get t' control 'n influence a racin' crew o' yer owns. Sign drivers, technical directors, 'n staff. Negotiate wit' sponsors, 'n other managers t' form teams. Set up yer car fer qualifyin' 'n th' race, 'n set yer strategy in order t' become th' best manager 'n win th' Elite group title. 1.1 FormatTh' highest level o' th' game be Elite, below this, are 5 Master groups, followed by 25 Pro groups, 125 Amateur groups 'n 625 Rookie groups. All th' groups form a 5 level pyramid where each level corresponds t' th' respective crew wit' Elite on top, followed by Master, Pro, Amateur 'n Rookie. When a manager boards th' game, they board in th' lowest Rookie crew 'n thar task be t' make thar way t' Elite t' achieve th' ultimate goal o' becomin' th' World Champion. 1.2 boat racesEvery week, on Tuesday 'n Friday evenin' at 20:00 CET (Central European Time = GMT+1) we simulate a race, which ye can watch unfold live on th' internet whilst ye can chat t' rival managers in our forum or chat cabin. 1.3 Becoming a ManagerTh' first task be t' register fer an account. When ye register, ye will board yer name (ye must give us yer real name) 'n then be transferred t' th' first stage o' th' waitin' list where ye wait fer account approval. Once we approve yer account ye will be transferred t' th' second stage o' th' waitin' list where ye will wait fer a free spot in th' game t' appear. Once this has appeared ye will board a Rookie group 'n are ready t' begin yer career. 1.4 The beginning stagesYe will start in one o' th' Rookie groups, th' lowest level in th' game. Ye will receive $30,000,000, a standard ('n pretty bad) helmsman, 'n a level 1 car if ye join afore th' first race o' th' season, otherwise yer doubloons will be reduced dependin' on th' number o' races left in th' season. Spend this doubloons carefully, th' only doubloons ye receive from now on will be wha' ye earn wit' yer performance as a manager. 1.5 Points systemWe use the old Formula 1 point scoring system where managers in positions 1-8 get 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 points respectively. 2. Preparing to raceAfore ye can participate in a race, thar are a number o' thin's ye must do t' make sure ye be prepared 'n t' give yourself th' best chance o' doin' well. 2.1 Be updatin' yer ship Here ye can spend doubloons t' improve yer car. How ye improve yer car be up t' ye. Th' screen shows yer current car characteristics, 'n th' part levels 'n wear o' yer current car configuration. Ye can perform one o' th' followin' actions on each part: 2.2 Practice and QualifyWhen you are satisfied with your car preparation for the next race, you can proceed to the track. At the top of the screen is a rundown of all the laps you have completed, with the settings you used, the lap time, and the amount of time the driver lost due to errors. The left-hand side of the screen shows the circuit this race will take place on and its characteristics. It also shows the best qualifying lap, and the best race lap. The bottom left of the screen shows the weather forecast for the entire weekend, this may be useful when choosing your tyres and planning your pit strategy later. In practice, you have 8 laps to try and achieve the best set up you can get. You must enter a setup for your car, and select a type of tyre to do a lap on. The risk setting only affects the qualifying lap. Only select "Qualify" lap type if you are satisfied with your setup as once you have done your qualifying lap you cannot do more practice laps. With each practice lap your driver will give feedback about how close to the setup they want you are with your settings. Some drivers are better than others at finding their perfect setup, you’ll need to experiment a little to find out how to find the best setup. Once you have used all your practice laps or are satisfied with your setup, select a qualifying lap. Choose your tyres carefully, as this is the dry tyre compound you will use for the rest of the Grand Prix weekend including the race. The risk setting will affect this qualifying lap, experiment to find out the best setting. Now you must complete your Qualify 2 lap, but this one is different, you do this lap with the fuel you will start the race with in the car (so naturally your time will be slower). This lap is combined with your first lap to produce your final qualifying time. There are no more opportunities for you to practice or get feedback from your driver. You can use your settings from the previous qualifying lap by clicking the “Get settings from Qualify 1” button, or you can alter your settings if you think you have better settings. Choose your fuel for the first stint of the race and select your risk and drive the lap. You can check your current grid position on the “Starting Grid” page. Note: Every practice lap will cost you $50.000 and every qualifying lap $100.000. 2.3 Driver race risks 'n helmsman energy levelEvery helmsman has a special attribute called helmsman energy. It defines th' condition o' th' helmsman 'n be directly related t' how hard th' helmsman can afford t' push th' car in th' next race. Th' higher risks ye loot in th' race, th' faster th' helmsman energy will drop durin' th' race. If yer helmsman energy drops t' 0%, yer helmsman will complete th' remainin' laps o' th' race wit' no risks at a slower pace. Dependin' on thar skills, some drivers may be better at preservin' thar energy durin' a race. On th' other hand some tracks may be more demandin' than others fer th' drivers. 'tis important t' note that mighty few drivers can drive a whole race wit' maximum risks! In between races, yer helmsman will slowly recover energy. 'tis mighty important fer ye t' estimate how fast his energy will recover between races 'n wha' risks he will be capable o' lootin' in th' next race without runnin' out o' energy. Th' energy level will nah affect th' helmsman pace in practice, qualifyin' 'n testin', however yer helmsman will lose some energy durin' his qualifyin' laps. 2.4 Race setup & strategyThis is where you confirm your car setup and strategy for the race. You can take your setup from either Qualify 1 or Qualify 2 or you can put a new one in. You must also specify the amount of fuel you wish to leave each pit stop with and the tyres you put on the car in the pits. You also need to decide how hard your driver is going to try to overtake, defend his position and set fast laps as well as how hard he pushes when there is a problem and how aggressive he will be at the start of the race.
Once you are happy with your setup for the race, confirm your settings. You can confirm your settings as many times as you like until the end of the qualifying session which is 1 hour and 30 minutes before the race start.
Remember you set your first stint fuel load in Qualifying 2, this is why you cannot change it, and your dry tyre compound was chosen in Qualifying 1, which is why you only have a choice of one dry tyre and wet tyres. 2.5 SailsEach season ye can sign a tyre contract wit' one o' six different tyre suppliers: Pipirelli, Yokomama, Dunnolop, Badyear, Michelini 'n Bridgerock. Managers in Rookie 'n Amateur groups may only use Pipirelli tyres (th' cheapest sutler) 'n th' contract will be automatically signed fer them at th' start o' th' season. Once a contract be signed, it cannot be cancelled or changed 'til th' end o' th' ongoin' season. Each o' th' tyre suppliers will provide ye wit' four different dry tyre compounds fer each race: Extra Soft, Soft, Medium 'n Hard, as well as one wet tyre compound. Th' softer th' compound th' faster 'twill go but th' less distance 'twill cover afore it wears out. Ye needs t' find out fer yourself how long tyres last. 2.6 FuelNah every car consumes fuel at th' same rate, 'n nah every helmsman uses th' same amount o' fuel, it depends on thar drivin' style, ye needs t' find out how much fuel yer car 'n helmsman uses t' get th' best strategy available, th' more fuel ye 'ave on board th' slower yer car will be. 2.7 Notes about strategy• If 'tis rainin', we assume th' whole circu'tis wet. 2.8 Deadline fer qualifyin' 'n settin' up yer race setup 'n strategyTh' deadline fer qualifyin' 'n settin' up yer race setup 'n strategy be 1 hour 'n 30 minutes afore th' start o' th' race. Ye can nah do any changes aft th' deadline has passed! 2.9 Server availability and race postponement
If thar be a significant ser'er downtime or ser'er downtime occurs within 2 hours o' th' qualifyin' deadline then th' next race may be postponed at th' discretion o' th' GPRO administrators. Th' administrators will evaluate th' benefits o' suspendin' th' race on an swabbie race basis. Th' outcome o' a race postponement may be one o' th' followin' dependin' on th' severity an' nature o' th' ser'er downtime: 3. StaffAfore every race ye 'ave th' opportunity t' sign a new helmsman or Technical Director. Drivers 'n Technical Directors loot thar decisions between 19:00 'n 21:00 CET on Mondays 'n Thursdays. 'twill cost ye $500,000 t' make a public offer t' a helmsman, 'n anyone can make an offer t' any staff hand as long as th' o'erall ain't too high fer th' group they be in. Be careful 'cause once ye make th' offer ye will pay th' $500,000 'n 'twon't be refunded if ye scuttle th' offer. Once th' deadline fer makin' offers closes th' staff will look at all th' offers, 'n decide based on a number o' factors (which again are up t' ye t' discover) which offer be th' best. If ye be successful in signin' a helmsman or technical director, ye will pay th' current helmsman or technical director a compensation equal t' half thar bounty, fer however many races are left on thar current contract. 3.1 DriverYer helmsman has a ratin' called an "o'erall" which be based upon a combination o' his skills. These skills determine a number o' different factors in th' game. Th' most obvious be how fast they can drive th' car. However, th' speed at which a helmsman can go ain't th' same in every situation, 'n some drivers may be better than others dependin' on th' conditions. A helmsman be also nah jus' about wha' happens on th' track, some drivers 'ave other skills which make them a better investment. 'tis up t' ye t' determine wha' type o' helmsman ye wants, 'n how different skills influence wha' happens durin' th' course o' a season. Th' followin' limits o' helmsman o'erall apply fer th' different classes: 3.2 Technical directorThe technical director is an important part of the setup of your team. Again, they have an “overall” attribute which gives a general idea of their ability. The R&D skills affect the setup of your car, but obviously they all have different effects on different areas of the car. The Pit Coordination affects the time it takes for your pit staff to service your car when it pits. The options for signing a Technical Director are the same as those for signing a driver, the only difference is that it is not possible to renew the contract of a Technical Director. This is because they are not trainable so it would be unfair for one manager to tie up a TD for a long period of time.
3.3 Making staff offers and staff decisions (markets)When you need a new driver or you want to replace your old one you will have to make an offer to one of the available drivers on the market. The same applies to technical directors.
You can make up to 4 offers before each staff decision but keep in mind every offer costs at least $500.000 (depending on the type of offer) and to change an offer you will need to remove the old one and make a new one costing you additional money. It doesn't matter to what staff the offers are directed, you could make 3 offers to drivers and one to a technical director, or 2 offers to drivers and 2 to technical directors. The maximum bonuses that you can offer to drivers and technical directors depend on your current money balance. If your balance is negative you will not be able to offer any bonuses at all.
When making an offer the signing fee may not exceed 300% of the salary in your offer. If you are successful in your offers with for example 2 drivers, you will get the driver with the offer with higher priority and the other one will be canceled automatically.
The drivers and technical directors will take a decision on Monday and Thursday (1 day before every race) between 19:00 and 21:00 CET and no offers can be made during that time. For more details on when the next staff decision will happen please check "Your offers" page. 3.4 General staff and facilitiesNext t' a dri'er an' possibly a technical director ye need general staff an' facilities. Staff be nay characterized in number o' staff, but in th' level o' skills. Some staff skills be variable wi' certain events, things ye do (or don’t). Other staff skills be trainable. Th' better yer staff, th' more salary ye pay. Ye can train staff only once per race, but trainin' be limited by th' level o' yer facilities. Th' average level o' yer facilities determines th' limit o' how much ye can train yer staff. This also means that if ye be havin' trained staff t' th' current maximum level, but downgrade a facility (decrease its level below a certain value) yer staff skills will start t' drop as well. Staff be important fer th' various steps in th' process o' convertin' test points into new car character points, but also fer pit stops an' sponsor deals. 4. Research, development, facilities & testin'.4.1 Car characterYer car be characterized by 3 values: power (P), handlin' (H) 'n acceleration (A). Circuits are also characterized in th' same way. A car wit' a certain character will perform better on a circuit o' th' same type. Individual car parts make up th' car character. E.g., th' better th' engine, th' more points ye get fer power. Th' 11 different parts all add differently t' th' car character points. If all parts are equal level, then ye car be balanced (B) in character. Through testin' 'n R&D ye can get additional points per character. 4.2 TestingIn between races ye can do testin'. Testin' can be done fer 2 reasons. Th' first reason be t' learn a few thin's about th' game. Th' other reason be that ye can develop yer car. Testin' gives ye test points. These test points are converted through a series o' steps t' additional car character points. These car character points are added t' th' points ye 'ave through car parts 'n they will make yer car faster. Testin' also affects certain helmsman attributes as well as technical director’s attributes 'n staff. Testin' can be done several times in between races. E.g. ye could go testin', then update car, then test again. Testin' costs $1.000.000 per test session 'n 'twill put wear on yer car parts! Ye cannot test wit' a car havin' any car part o'er 90% wear or when yer balance be negative. 4.3 The testing sessionWhen testing you can setup the car in similar way to practice. You also can set a priority, which will set the focus of the knowledge you gain about the car. The focus ‘test car limits’ will not give you much knowledge, but is most likely to result in a very good lap time. The focus on ‘setup tuning’ will give you detailed feedback on car setup. You can run 100 laps at maximum and do a maximum of 10 stints. You need to choose how long (number of laps) your stint is, minimum is 5 laps and maximum is 50 laps. Out lap and in lap are not taken in account. If you run out of fuel or if your tyres don't hold the complete stint or if you otherwise fail to run all laps you had preset, the laps you did not drive will still be subtracted from the remaining total of test laps. 4.4 Research & developmentWhile driving test laps, you get knowledge about the car on three areas: power, handling and acceleration. This knowledge is shown in test points. The number of test points you gain depends on the focus of testing, the number of laps done, your driver, your technical director and staff. What follows is a fully automatic process which turns the test points into car character points. In more detail it works like this. You test and get test points. Next, you race and after the race the knowledge is (automatically) converted to new ideas (R&D points). This conversion depends on your technical director, staff and facilities. You do not have to have a TD or facilities to be able to do Research & Development. After each race, your new ideas (R&D points) are turned into production (engineering points). The success of this (automatic) conversion depends again on your technical director, staff and facilities. Again, you do not have to have a technical director or facilities to be able to do engineering. After each race, the engineering points are (automatically) converted into new part details ready to be fitted on the car (car character points). The success of this conversion depends on how many additional car character points through testing you already had per car character. The more points you already have, the harder it will be to gain new points.
It is important to know that the points you have gained through the process testing, R&D and engineering slowly decrease over time. If you stop testing, your additional car character points will decrease to 0. Of course, the other car character points from the car parts are not affected. There is no limit to how many additional points you can get through testing and R&D. Car points will be carried over at the end of the season, but you will lose some before the start of next season. 5. DoubloonsThar are various methods o' makin' doubloons in this game, 'n we recommend ye t' try 'n get hold o' as much doubloons as possible! 5.1 SponsorsSponsors will pay you a predetermined amount of money each race. It is up to you to negotiate a deal with sponsors. The way in which you negotiate and the type of sponsor you negotiate with will determine exactly how much money they are willing to pay you, so if they ask questions about your plans, think carefully before answering. Every sponsor is represented by few attributes:
5.2 Race costsEvery race, ye will pay a bounty t' yer helmsman, technical director 'n staff as well as maintenance costs fer yer facilities, in addition t' any costs ye paid from updatin' yer car. Details o' payments can be found in th' race analysis page 'n th' economy history page. 5.3 Race incomeAft every race ye will be rewarded fer yer startin' position 'n fer yer final race position wit' doubloons dependin' on th' crew ye be racin' in. Th' higher ye finish th' more doubloons ye be paid. Th' income fer yer startin' position be given accordin' t' th' followin' table:
90% race distance rule: If ye don't cover 90% o' th' race distance (as determined in th' race summary) ye will receive only 50% o' th' race income accordin' t' th' table above. Note that th' 90% race distance be calculated on th' total number o' laps fer a race 'n then rounded down t' a whole lap number. If th' race be fer instance 55 laps long, th' cut off point be calculated as follows: 55*0.9 = 49.5 ~ 49 laps, meanin' that ye needs t' complete 49 laps in this race t' be inside th' 90% distance rule. Example: If ye finished in 40th position in Elite 'n didn' cover 90% o' th' race distance ye will get only $5.500.000 fer yer race position. This rule does nah apply t' Rookie groups. Thar be also an extra bonus o' $1.000.000 available fer fastest lap in th' race. 5.4 Final standingsAt th' end o' th' season (aft th' last race), th' top 10 managers in th' standin's will be rewarded wit' additional doubloons bonus (dependin' on th' crew they be racin' in) accordin' t' th' followin' table:
5.5 Negative balanceThere are a few drawbacks to going into negative balance. You will not be able to:
5.6 Cup competition and cup bonusThe cup competition is a side competition within your own group based on the 17 races in the season and consisting of 6 stages each of which can earn you a small financial bonus. The cup competition works according to the following scheme:
6. TeamsA crew be a group o' managers who 'ave decided t' compete together. Thar points are combined dependin' on thar group, t' give a crew score, which be used t' compete against other teams. Ye can either join an existin' crew, create yer owns crew or commandeer an inactive crew. 6.1 Creating a teamOnly managers in Elite, Master, Pro 'n Amateur groups can create a crew. Creatin' a crew will cost ye $5,000,000. Ye get t' choose yer owns crew name 'n are responsible fer allowin' other managers into yer crew. Managers will apply t' join yer crew, 'n ye must choose whether t' allow them t' join or refuse them entry. If ye refuse them, they will nah be able t' re-apply fer 2 weeks. If ye accept them, they will fill up one o' yer roster spots; ye 'ave a maximum o' 9 free roster spots. Ye must 'ave a positive balance t' create a crew. A crew will continue t' exist, as long as thar be at least 1 manager in th' crew. When a crew leader makes thar decision about yer application t' join thar crew, ye will be notified o' thar decision through th' mailbox. Offensive, rude, or otherwise inappropriate crew names will be scuttled, 'n th' manager may be punished, if in doubt, ask an administrator afore boardin' yer name. Th' decision o' th' administrators be final. 6.2 Joining a teamJoinin' a crew will cost ye $3.000.000. Ye must apply t' a crew, where th' leader will either approve or refuse ye. If ye be approved ye will loot th' next available roster spot. Ye may only apply t' a maximum o' 3 teams at any one time. It ain't allowed t' join a crew aft Race 17 o' th' season, if yer positive balance can nah cover th' cost fer it. 6.3 Leaving a teamA crew hand can only leave a crew if he resigns from th' crew or if th' crew leader kicks 'im out o' th' crew fer inactivity ('tis possible only aft 4 races o' inactivity). If a crew hand leaves a crew, he/she will nah get back th' doubloons fer joinin' th' crew. If a crew hand leaves a crew, all crew hands below 'im/her on th' roster will move up a ship. If a crew leader resigns, th' crew hand at roster position #2 will be promoted t' crew leader 'n th' crew name will remain th' same. Further more when a crew hand leaves th' crew fer some reason durin' th' season, th' crew will lose th' crew points earned by th' hand durin' that season. 6.4 Team earningsAt th' end o' th' season (aft promotion/relegation be done) every crew will receive $40.000 fer every crew point scored durin' th' season. Th' total doubloons will then be divided equally between th' current hands o' th' crew. As crew hands participate in races durin' th' season thar crew points are added t' th' crew total. Unlike th' individual championship system, th' crew championship system awards points t' all crew hands that finish races between position 1 'n 30 inclusive. Th' formula fer gained crew points in a race fer a crew hand be: TeamPoints = (31-RacePosition)/3 * GroupWeight, where GroupWeight be 1 fer Elite group, 0.8 fer Master groups, 0.6 fer Pro groups, 0.4 fer Amateur groups 'n 0.2 fer Rookie groups. All this brin's t' crew points gains as in th' followin' table:
6.5 Inactivity in teamsIf at any time durin' th' season ye wench 4 consecutive races then fer every next race ye wench ye will be moved one spot down in yer crew. This applies both t' crew leaders 'n normal hands o' th' crew 'n does nah depend on th' group ye be racin' in. Fer example if ye be at spot #4 in th' crew 'n ye wench 6 races in a row ye will be automatically moved t' spot #6, as a result th' manager who previously had spot #5 will now 'ave spot #4 'n th' manager that was in spot #6 will now be in spot #5. 6.6 Team vote outIn cases when th' crew leader decides that a crew hand does nah fulfil th' requirements o' th' crew fer some reason, he or she may start a crew "vote out" against th' crew hand. A vote out will cost th' crew leader $3.000.000 t' initiate, 'n an additional $1.000.000 will be paid by each crew hand who participates in th' vote out (includin' th' crew leader). When at least 8 crew hands 'ave participated in th' vote out 'tis considered successful 'n th' crew leader will be given starb'rd t' kick out th' voted out manager from th' crew. A crew vote outspans o'er two weeks time from th' day 'twas initiated 'n only one crew hand can be voted out at any time. Note that team members who joined the team less than 17 races ago cannot participate in vote outs. 7. End of SeasonAft th' last race o' th' season th' top 10 bonus be bein' rewarded t' th' top 10 managers in every group (look at point 5.4 above) aft which we board a wee break, usually a couple o' days, but sometimes maybe more or less. Durin' this time, all race setup pages close 'n no further crew decisions can be made, however ye can still view th' standin's, car level 'n financial data. At some point followin' this, th' end o' season script will be run, which will perform th' followin' tasks. 7.1 Promotion/RelegationTh' top 3 managers in each group (excludin' Elite) will be promoted t' a randomly assigned group, one level above th' level they be currently at. Th' bottom 15 managers from each group (excludin' Rookie) will be relegated t' th' level below. Any manager, who finishes in th' top 3, but wit' a negative balance, will nah be promoted, 'n instead, th' next highest manager wit' a positive balance will be promoted in his/her ship. Any manager who finishes wit' a negative balance shall be relegated t' th' division below. Th' highest placed manager in th' relegation zone will remain in thar group as a result. In th' lower levels (Pro, Amateur 'n Rookie) extra promotion spots may occur if managers get retired, reset t' Rookie, or scuttled due t' inactivity in th' levels above. T' make sure ye be nah in an additional promotion spot ye can check th' "All promotions" page at any time durin' th' season. Note that in th' case when th' groups structure o' th' game be under ongoin' expansion or reduction, a different number o' managers may be promoted or relegated in th' different classes o' th' game. T' avoid any confusion, make sure ye check th' span o' th' promotion/relegation zone in th' standin's o' yer owns group. In th' lower levels (Pro, Amateur an' Rookie) extra promotion spots may occur if managers get retired, reset t' Rookie, or deleted due t' inactivity in th' levels above. T' make sure ye be nay in an additional promotion spot ye can check th' "All promotions" page at any time durin' th' season. Note that in case when th' groups structure o' th' game be under ongoin' expansion, a different number o' managers may be promoted in th' different classes o' th' game.T' avoid any confusion, make sure ye check th' span o' th' promotion/relegation zone in th' standin's o' yer owns group. 7.2 Other mattersWhen the End of Season script runs, the wear on all parts is reset to zero, and all your parts remain at the level they were the previous season (except in the Rookie groups). Any manager with a negative balance will automatically sell their parts and facilities at half price, starting with the highest levels, until they reach a positive balance. In case the manager's balance is still negative after this, then the manager will get a donation from GPRO FIA which will cover his remaining debt and he/she will start the new season with $0. In the next step managers will get taxed according to point 7.3 below.
For managers in the Rookie groups money balance, car parts, staff and facilities, sponsors negotiations, car character points etc. will be reset at the start of every season. The only thing that rookie managers get to keep between the seasons is the driver if his overall does not exceed 85.
Points money and team money earned in the previous season will be paid to all managers.
The accounts for all managers in Rookie will be reset.
All managers who qualified for all 17 races in the previous season will get a bonus of $5.000.000 (including managers in Rookie). Every manager who scored more than 50 points durin' th' season 'n doesn't promote from Rookie (by finishin' th' season in negative), will start next season wit' a financial penalty worth $200.000 fer every point he scored above 50 points in th' previous season. Th' amount will be deducted from th' startin' balance fer th' new season (aft th' season reset). 7.3 Taxes7.3.1 Relegation taxesManagers who relegate t' a lower class will get taxed as follows: Fer a relegation from Elite t' Master 70% o' th' treasure above $50.000.000 be paid as tax. Fer a relegation from Master t' Pro 70% o' th' treasure above $40.000.000 be paid as tax. Fer a relegation from Pro t' Amateur 70% o' th' treasure above $30.000.000 be paid as tax. Example: if ye relegate wi' $100.000.000 from Elite t' Master, ye will be havin' t' pay 70% o' $50.000.000 which be $35.000.000 in relegation taxes. Th' 70% taxes fer relegatin' managers be applied before th' casual 25% taxes (explained below) which apply fer all managers who be havin' more than $50.000.000 after th' season reset. 7.3.2 Casual taxesManagers will get taxed on treasure o'er $50.000.000 at a rate o' 25%. Fer example a manager wi' $65.000.000 will get taxed as follows: $65.000.000 - $50.000.000 = $15.000.000 25% o' $15.000.000 be $3.750.000.
