Date of Update: 06 July 2006
Rules Section Updated : 3.1 Driver
Additional Information Added:
As drivers age they will start losing some of their abilities after every race at the age of 35. The older they get the faster they will lose skills. At the start of every season drivers with many races behind their back and drivers older than 38 years will make a decision if they will retire at the end of the season. Their decision to retire at the end of the season will be shown on their profile.
Date of Update: 06 July 2006
Rules Section Updated : 3.2 Technical Director
Additional Information Added:
Technical directors also have an age attribute but unlike drivers they do not lose any skills as they get older. At the start of every season technical directors with many races behind their back and technical directors older than 70 years will make a decision if they will retire at the end of the season. Their decision to retire at the end of the season will be shown on their profile.

Date of Update: 07 July 2006
Rules Section Updated: 7.2 Other Matters
Additional Information Added:
Managers will get taxed on money over $50.000.000 at a rate of 25%. For example a manager with $65.000.000 will get taxed as follows:
$65.000.000 - $50.000.000 = $15.000.000
25% of $15.000.000 is $3.750.000. So a manager would pay $3.750.000 in tax at the end of the season.

Rules Section Updated : 5.1 Sponsors
Additional Information Added:
Sponsors 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:
• Finances: Represents the financial power of the sponsor.
• Expectations: This attribute shows how good results the sponsor expects from the team they are negotiating with.
• Patience: Represents the patience of the sponsor. The higher the patience the higher the chance that the sponsor is willing to make compromises about the contract details during the negotiation process.
• Reputation: Represents the reputation of the sponsor. The higher the reputation the less is the chance the sponsor to throw a surprise at you.
• Image: Represents the overall image of the company on the sponsor market.
• Negotiation: This attribute shows how smooth the negotiations with the sponsor normally flow.
A sponsor pulling back from a negotiation or cancelling an active contract are both situations directly related to the way you negotiatiated the contract with the sponsor. After each race the sponsors will pay the money directly to you, and depending on your results, they may even throw a few surprises at you!

Rules Section Updated : 3.3 Making staff offers and staff decisions (markets)
Additional Information Added:
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 $500.000 and to change an offer you will need to remove the old one and make a new one costing you additional $500.000. 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.
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 one with the highest overall and the offer for the other one will be cancelled automatically.
The drivers and technical directors will take a decision usually 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.

A team member can only leave a team if he resigns from the team or if the team leader kicks him out of the team for inactivity (this is possible only after 6 races of inactivity). If a team member leaves a team, he/she will not get back the money for joining the team. If a team member leaves a team, all team members below them on the roster will move up a place. If a team leader resigns, the team member at roster position #2 will be promoted to leader and the team name will remain the same.

Date of Update: 12 October 2006
Rules Section Updated: 7.2 Other Matters
Information rewritten:
When 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. Managers will get taxed on money over $50.000.000 at a rate of 25%. For example a manager with $65.000.000 will get taxed as follows:
$65.000.000 - $50.000.000 = $15.000.000
25% of $15.000.000 is $3.750.000. So a manager would pay $3.750.000 in tax at the end of the season.
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).

Information Updated:
8. Miscellaneous
8.1 Inactivity and retiring from the game
Managers in Rookie who don't race 6 consecutive races shall be removed from the game immediately if there are managers on the waiting list waiting for a free spot. Managers in Amateur who didn't play at least 2 races during the season and managers in Master who didn't play at least 1 race during the season will be removed from the game at the end of the season. In case the need arises more players from Amateur and Rookie groups may be promoted in order to fill any free places in the higher groups.
8.2 Resetting your account
It is not possible to reset your account during the season! If you try to create a new account it will simply be rejected and you risk losing even your original account. If you are in Rookie you have to wait for the next season to start and since all accounts in Rookie are resetted at the season start this is your only chance to have your account reset. If you are in Master or Elite and want to have your account reset you have to contact one of the administrators after the last race of the season and before the season reset. You will be moved to one of the Rookie groups and your account will get reset when the new season starts.

Date of Update: 16 November 2006
Rules Section Updated: 6.5 Inactivity in teams
Information Added:
If at any time during the season you miss 6 consecutive races then for every next race you miss you will be moved one spot down in your team. This applies both to team leaders and normal members of the team and does not depend on the group you are racing in. For example if you are at spot #4 in the team and you miss 8 races in a row you will be automatically moved to spot #6, as a result the manager who previously had spot #5 will now have spot #4 and the manager that was in spot #6 will now be in spot #5.
