Points & rules

+15Perfect ordered podium bonus

Exact-position points replace misplaced top-ten points; a driver never scores twice. The podium bonus is additional. Equal totals share rank; alphabetical display does not break a points tie.

Deadlines, corrections and unavailable results

Pole selections and pole multipliers lock at qualifying; race categories lock at their race deadline. Joining after qualifying permits race picks without a pole pick. Postponement does not silently reopen a locked category. Cancelled events score zero and restore Double Down usage. Missing official categories remain unavailable. Reviewed corrections recalculate scores while preserving the audit history. Provisional results may change.

A little strategy goes a long way.

Zero or one optional challenge per round
Underdog / 12 points

Back the outsider

Pick an eligible driver to finish in the top six. Eligibility freezes outside the previous reviewed championship top six; the opener uses previous final standings. Drivers without sufficient evidence are excluded.

Chaos / 10 points

Expect the unexpected

Call one explicitly defined occurrence: official safety car (not VSC), red flag or wet-race condition. The pre-announced definition and authoritative evidence decide the result.

Biggest Mover / 12 points

Read the race within the race

Pick the greatest positive gain from official grid to final classification. All tied leaders qualify. Pit-lane or unknown grid positions and unclassified finishers are excluded.

Double Down / 2×

Make conviction count

Twice per season, double one category's earned points: pole, P1, fastest lap or constructor. Select it before that category locks. It never doubles the podium bonus, another wildcard or the whole top ten.
