F1 Fantasy Game

After an intensive website enhancement period, I'm excited to announce the changes for season 2018 in F1FantasyGame.com.
So here is what has been done for the last months:

1. New layout. As you may notice we have a new, modern and mobile friendly look .
   
   
2. Another way to earn extra points. Thanks to wookie_handshake who shared his ideas for additional extra points.
   From season 2018 the drivers will receive extra points based on that how many positions they won, compare to the starting position.
   
   

   Positions Won	Extra Points
   Between 5 and 10	5
   More than 10	10

   
   For example if you have Lewis Hamilton in your team and he finished the race 4th after starting 20th, you will receive extra 10 points because he gained 16 positions.
   
   
3. After the qualification, there was a window where each player can predict the laps of pitstops for his drivers. Only correct lap number and pitstop number were awarded with 5 extra points.
   For the new season, extra pitstop points will be received based on the following schema:
   
   

   Real Stop Lap	Predicted Lap	Points
   	12	1
   	13	2
   14	14	5
   	15	2
   	16	1

   
   in other words, if you predict that Vettel will make his first stop at lap 13 and he actually did it at lap 14 you will receive 2 extra points.
   Thanks to HighOnFuel about this good idea.
   
   
4. Again based on your feedback, I decided to extend the time for bonus tests to 5 minutes instead of current 1.

Thanks to everyone that joined our talks about game improvements in our game topics Additional ideas for scoring next year  and Idea for the pitstop bonusses....
Your feedback is very important to me and I believe that we all together can build our game.

There is a week before the season start so lets prepare out teams for another exciting season here at F1FantasyGame.com and of course on the track.

Enjoy!

  When selling a driver the value that will be added to the budget of the team will be the current price of the driver so each team manager will be able to increase the budget of his team by selling cheaper purchased driver who has currently higher price.

  In the drivers profile page there will be graphics with the price changes during the season:

  Although this new feature there is a rule which say that value of a driver can not be greater than 100 million and less than 10 million.

  2. To have a completed team which can receive points from given GP weekend the team must pay an entry fee for the specific race. The amounts of fees can be seen here http://www.f1fantasygame.com/en/myteam-entry-fees

  The payment of fees can be done only in a set period of time before each race. Amount of the fee will be taken from the budget of the team so its important for each team is to predict its budget so that it can participate in the upcoming races.

 How many races are there this year?
