Collisions

We understand that with the formula 1 it is very hard to fully avoid collisions. All we are asking is that you use communication and car control to avoid crashing. With there being a 100% race distance, there shouldn't be too much of a rush to get to the front.
If you take it easy and are careful for the first few laps, drive clean and pit smart for the remainder of the race you should be happy with your finish.

We are looking to host an event which is fun to take part in. If you can't control your car enough to avoid a collision, Your going to fast. Other than that all F1 rules will be enforced in order for us to have a great race. You must follow all pitting rules and flags, if you receive any penalties from F1, they will stand at the end of the race.


DRS - Drag Reduction System - New in 2011

Practice and Qualifying
DRS is available at all times, unless the driver is using wet-weather tyres.

During Race
DRS is disabled for the first two laps of the race, and also for the first two laps after the safety car returns to the pits.
To enable DRS, the driver must be no more than one second behind another driver at the 'DRS Detection Point'. The driver can then open the rear wing in the following 'DRS Activation Zone'.
Some tracks have two DRS zones e.g. Montreal - there is still only one Detection Point, which enables DRS in both Activation Zones.
DRS cannot be used if the driver is using wet-weather tyres.

KERS - Kinetic Energy Recovery System - Returns in 2011

All cars are fitted with either a battery-based or flywheel-based system that provides a short-term power boost. The electric motor develops about 80hp, and the maximum charge that can be deployed in one lap is 6⅔ seconds.

Tyres

Pirelli, the sole supplier of tyres in the 2011 season, supply six different types of tyre: four slick compounds graded hard, medium, soft and super-soft, one intermediate shallow-tread tyre, and one full-wet deep-tread tyre.
At each race meeting, two of the four slick compounds are used, which are known as Prime and Option, the latter being softer. In a dry race, both the Prime and the Option must be used at least once each. This is waived if the driver uses either the Intermediate or Wet tyre.
The choice of slick compounds depends on the track e.g. Monaco and Montreal have the Soft as Prime and the Super-Soft as Option, but Silverstone and Yas Marina use Medium and Soft instead.
To help distinguish between the tyres, the Pirelli P-Zero wiring on the sidewalls is colour-coded:
Silver - Hard
White - Medium
Yellow - Soft
Red - Super-Soft
Blue - Intermediate
Orange - Wet

At the end of the race you will receive driver points which will be allocated as follows.
