F1 Revisited – 1957
For the 1st time in several seasons the title was decided before the final round, as Gerard capped his return to the F1R series with a dominant 3rd title to his name. With the Teams Championship coming in next season, mechanics are now replaced by team principals who will be responsible for making your car as powerful and fast as possible! Nevertheless, a smooth driving style, with timely gear changes, well-marked braking points, a feel for the changing track conditions and the best strategy should ultimately come out on top this time around…plus, manage your money well and spend it wisely to ensure you are in the best position for next season!

Massive thanks to Jon MacLean for all his continued support with this game; it is he who is the mastermind behind most of the Google Doc scripts etc that the game uses!

Current Season Standings
https://i.imgur.com/FdRIfOQ.jpg
Gerard's title was confirmed last race, but given the pressure he had from Musso this race it looks doubtful he will repeat his domination of this season next time around...Collins, Hawthorn, Behra and Fangio may not have scored points this race but it's a solid end to the season for the drivers in 2nd through to 5th overall.
Von Trips points today are enough to move him up to 6th in the standings, but it is certainly not the season the Ferrari would have hoped for after he won the final race in 1956. Maglioli finishes his F1R career with a decent 7th place in the final standings, while BRM's strong finish to the season see Musso up to 8th overall.
Salvadori drops to 9th in the standings after a tough end to the season, while Perdisa finishes his F1R career with Top 10 in the standings thanks to an impressive final couple of races! That drops Trintignant to 11th, Gould to 12th and Gonzalez to 13th - though the Argentine hasn't ruled out a return in a future season for Connaught.
Fairman was so close to points this season, but must settle for 14th, with Piotti's strong final race moving him up to 15th in the final reckoning. Brabham, the retiring Castellotti, Menditeguy, Flockhart and Bonnier round out the Top 20 overall.
There are no changes below 20th, as we bid farewell to Simon, Leston and non-runners England and Volonterio after this race.

Game Play
Each “race weekend” will consist of a single qualifying session and the race. For each qualifying lap you will input a set of instructions about how to take each corner (what gear, how late to brake, what risk to use), on your own personal Google Doc spreadsheet, meaning you can do your qualifying laps whenever you like!
With no mechanics, you will now get feedback on your own spreadsheet for each lap. You can of course change your approach lap by lap to improve your time, but you must run 1 lap at a time. Qualifying is run as one continuous session, so you will simply have a car with enough fuel to do the entire session – as a result you wont ever alter your fuel amount in qualifying, though you may pit to repair damage to the car.
Once qualifying is wrapped up the grid will be determined and you can then submit your instructions for the race itself. Again, these will be in the form of braking distance, gear selection, risk levels etc done using a Google Form you will have the link to.
You will also pre-determine your pit strategy, but should your car become damaged during the race this may be fatal and lead to a retirement so it is good to push the limits of your setup, but not to exceed them. No car-sharing will be allowed, just FYI (one of the few differences between F1R and F1!).

The Instructions
For each corner you need to submit a gear from the pre-allocated range your car has, and a braking point that should be from 0m up to around 250m or so. The more you push in a lap the better the chance of a good lap time, but equally the more chance of you making a mistake.
Qualifying
Here is an example of how Your Spreadsheet will look:
https://i.imgur.com/dA2hjUI.jpg
There is also a Feedback Tab that shows you how well you are performing vs the optimal gears & braking choices, as can be seen here:
https://i.imgur.com/9YbtYjY.jpg
Please note that instructions are included on the qualifying screen sheet, plus of course your team-mates and I will be able to help you with anything that isn’t immediately apparent.
Race
There is a Race Setup tab on your sheet that you simply need to fill in to confirm your race setup & strategy.
The race is simulated by JB from that point onwards.

35 seats immediately available in F1 Revisited this season with another 8 on stand-by! That means initially there are only 5 seats per team available!!!
The Driver Allocation
Drivers who competed last season will be allocated to the same people as before, as long as either a) the driver or b) the person did not retire before the ’57 season. These drivers are fixed and cannot be changed until the driver actually retires from Formula 1. The only exception is the winning driver from the previous season, who will always return to defend their title.
Initial driver confirmations have already been completed by PM. Now ALL DRIVERS in the game will agree their salaries with the Team Principal (these are real GPRO players as per the above list), and both should send me a copy of the contract filled in identically:
Driver Name –
Team Name –
Contract Length – X years
Signing Bonus – £X
Salary per Race – £X
Contribution (the amount the driver is going to give towards the team’s development) – £X
Previous drivers still in use are shown here:
https://i.imgur.com/yXqka8L.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/t7YgrN3.jpg
If you are new to the game, or if you or your driver dropped out from last season then you will need to select a new driver from the list of available drivers below (note, the Indy 500 representatives are not permitted):
https://i.imgur.com/cMOUESE.jpg?1
You will represent the same driver in the following years and cannot ditch him until he retires, so if you have your eye on someone who started racing in 1958 it is advisable to choose a driver who did not compete in that season – though winning the whole thing would of course prevent you from using said 1958 driver.
Drivers have been allocated in order of championship position last season, and now on a 1st come 1st served basis to new players once joining starts. There is no competitive advantage to be gained between drivers, aside from the driver multiplier.
The Teams
As in real F1 the chassis you have under you is crucial and the actual performance of each will vary, though only in as much as the top speed and gears available initially (overall the field will be quite evenly matched). That said manufacturer upgrades will become available based on how accurate your car is setup, so even the worst car on the grid can achieve performance upgrades if the players do well.
You cannot change teams during a season, though you are not tied in to the same team for future seasons…also a winning constructor will be permitted to stay on if it did not compete in the next season. Team choices will be down to the team principals to agree with the drivers; each team has the same multiplier limit so some of the top teams may take a punt on a brand new driver (this is to try and ensure even competition).
The full list of competing cars is here, with the + amount of entries referring to the maximum possible for each team…bear in mind the team may decide not to fill all these spots initially.
Entrant – Engine – Chassis (No. of driver spaces)
BRM – BRM – P25 (5)
Connaught – Alta – B Type (5)
Cooper – Climax – T43 (5)
Ferrari – Ferrari – 801 (5)
Maserati – Maserati – 250F (5)
Porsche – Porsche – RS550 (5)
Vanwall – Vanwall – VW5 (5)
This means that a total of 43 drivers can compete in this 7th season, although initially only 35 will be offered contracts.

Money
Here is the current financial situation for the drivers:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B0jKvdmMJdvPdwnIL64Y...
Please note – from this season onwards you can only spend money if you are in positive balance. You can still go into negative money with a single purchase, but wont be able to buy anything else until you’re back in the black.
There are several things that money can be used to purchase, as follows:
Contribution
At any point you can give some of your money (if you have a positive financial balance) to your team to support the development of the car. For every £1,000 you give you will get a 0.01 bonus to your multiplier.
Multiplier Boosts
Every driver has a multiplier figure, which is based on their experience in F1R. However you can boost this figure in the short-term by purchasing some of the following improvements:
https://i.imgur.com/4RMd0pR.jpg
Homes
You can live anywhere in the world that you want to …if you can afford it. To buy a house in a country other than that of your birth will cost a premium, but will allow you to test on that track between races so when the Grand Prix circus finally shows up to town you will be quicker at that track. Simply send a PM with the words “Quote on a house in COUNTRY NAME(S)” and I will respond with the relevant prices to do so. You may have more than 1 house, but this will dilute your multiplier by the amount of houses you own.
Citizenship
A long and drawn out 5 year process, but you can change the country you represent by living there for 5 years in a row…this will allow drivers who may not have a home GP the chance to get the small speed boost that your favourite track affords you. Simply send a PM with the words “Apply for Citizenship” and your application will begin the long process of being put through. Dual citizenship is a possibility too.
End of Season taxation
At the end of the season any money you have over £5,000 will be taxed at a rate of 20% up to £10,000 and 30% above £10,000.
Examples
As such if you have £8,000 at the end of the season you will be taxed £600 (20% of £3,000 = the amount over £5,000 you are).
If you have £20,000 you will be taxed £4,000 (20% of £5,000 + 30% of £10,000 = the amount over £5,000 and £10,000 you are).

Any other information you want to give to appeal to the Team Principals –
The following players can now be replaced:
Juan Manuel Fangio (S Foster)
Stirling Moss (A Khanna)
Ottorino Volonterio (A Ramón)
Hans Herrmann (L Chong)
PLEASE NOTE – Though all efforts have been made to make this historically accurate there is likely to be some departure, if I have made any errors regarding (for example) the gear a corner is to be taken at I can only apologise. I do welcome feedback to improve the game moving forwards.
New Season Changes
Some things to look out for:
1 – Driver multiplier effect muted slightly again – They will still have an impact, but not such a big one
2 – Team Principals are now part of the game – see their dedicated thread for more details
3 – No more mechanics, as this will now be a game function for the team principal to control, meaning you’ll have feedback on your own Google Docs
4 – The “performance upgrades” you get for having an accurate setup, will be converted into money rather than direct upgrades – so it’ll be down to your Team Principal to spend that money effectively
5 - Contributing money to your team now adds 0.01 per £1,000 to your driver multiplier

I had this on my mind as something I am considering starting again.
If I did we would restart 1957 again as it's been 2.5 years and I'm guessing no-one recalls where we were up to - and I anticipate many of the old regulars (including myself!) are no longer on GPRO...!
If you are interested in playing this (see post #2 etc in the thread for an idea of how the game works) please reply in the thread so I can get a gauge of what interest levels are out there.
Cheers.
JB

GPRO yes - but VERY VERY casually. Already had an offer to join a team though lol :)
No other games - only F1R mate. Just not got the time to commit to anything else for the foreseeable.

Ok so we have enough interest; so here is the plan:
1 - Team Leaders to confirm they still want their teams by PM (DEADLINE 21/11 @ 23:59 CET)
2 - All Players to confirm they still want their Drivers (DEADLINE 24/11 @ 15:00 CET)
3 - Other Team Leader spaces are offered to those who have played in previous seasons initially - and then to new players if needed (DEADLINE 28/11 @ 15:00 CET)
4 - New players/returning players (not involved in F1R '57 before) are invited to take on available drivers (DEADLINE 28/11 @ 20:00 CET)
Aiming for season start around late November with 1st race around mid-December :)
