Fantasy Sportscar

 Once again I was having random thoughts on the afternoon of the Nurburgring 24hr and decided a fantasy league for sportscar drivers was missing. I started in the usual place, Google. however no useful search results appeared. 
  So I decided to try myself, a few draw backs are that I'm not a genius program/software designer so an apps out of the question, so I propose, providing I get enough interest, a trial run. I have selected the GT3 main event, The Spa 24hr.

The Game

I propose the following system,

The player i.e you select the following,

2x Pro Drivers

2x Pro-Am Drivers

2x Gentleman Trophy Drivers

(The drivers you select CANNOT be in the same car.) 

1x Manufacturer (Audi, Mclaren, Bentley)

1x Team (Marc VDS, Beechdean, M-sport)

Driver Points

5 points for pole position (only for the driver that actually sets the time)

If your driver finishing in the top 10, points will be awarded as follows

1st- 10pts
2nd- 9pts
3rd- 8pts
And so on.... (Think you get the idea) 

Manufacturer Points

You will score points for the highest placed finish for your chosen manufacturer however points will only be awarded inside the top 10, using the same points system for the drivers.  

Team Points

Points will be awarded in exactly the same way as manufacturers, you will only score points for the highest placed car from that team. 




I hope all the above makes sense, it was something I've thought of within a few hours. 

Now for the sort of downside, as I'm no programming genius I'll have to track and update the scores manually and update the blog. I'll only be able to except entrants either via email or as a comment to this thread. If anyone is a genius I'd happily take for expertise via a fancy spreadsheet or something. I'll also be unable to give prizes for the winner however if anyone would like to donate something that would be great too. 

I will be unable to get a list of drivers until the Spa 24hr test day on the 2nd of July so start thinking of who'd you have in your all-star team.

You never know, if it's successful we may try again..
