How it works

Formula one rules

In the simulator, we use rules of Formula one racing series.


Learn rules

These rules as simple as in Formula one. Technically, the simulator is a simple web application based on text, not graphic.


Weekend

An event consists of 3 sessions: one practice, qualification and race.


Tactic control

You as a team strategist can choose tire compound (soft, medium, hard) and driving mode (careful, normal, aggressive).


Practice

Pick tire compound, go to track and find out how fast and durable the compound is. Try all three compounds in different driving modes.


Practice result

For each compound, the result contains the best lap time of all racers.


Qualification

Pick tire compound, go to track and try to perform the best lap time.


Qualification result

The results are ordered by lap times for each racer.


Race standings

It updates according to the track situation.


Race tactic

Your tactic begins before the race when you practice, qualify and then you pick tire compound for the race.


Pit stops

During a race, you can pit your car by clicking one of the tire buttons (soft, medium, hard). Click the button to pick it for the next stint. Your car will pit at the nearest pit entry. So you decide which compound to pick in advance, before pitting. If you change your mind, click again.


Two compounds during the race

You must use at least two different compounds (not just tire sets) during a race. If you do not follow this rule, you will be punished after the race with the compound penalty — you will be demoted to the bottom of the standings.
