A Guide To Transfers

Transfers 1:

  • Takes place after Race 4
  • You choose two elements
  •  The money (£17m) available for T1 is 'locked'. No leftover money from the Race Team is brought forward here (see Transfers 2), and any money you don't use in T1 is lost.
  • There are several Drivers and Cars that are not available within T1.
  • You may only use one element from T1 to make a transfer, the other is 'lost'
  • The transfer must be made before Race 5
  • Once the transfer is made, the remaining element in T1 along with the element moved out of the Race Team is 'locked' and may not be used for the rest of the season.
  • Making a Transfer from T1 is free (i.e. No Championship Points deduction).

Transfers 2:

  • Takes place after Race 11
  • You choose four elements
  • You have £40m to spend, plus anything left from your Race Team
  • All drivers and cars are available
  • The first Transfer made in this phase is free (i.e. No Championship Points deduction).
  • Second and further transfers made within the T2 phase will cost a 50 Championship Point deduction
  • You may make a maximum of Three transfers from your T2 selections
  • Remember: When you make transfers at this stage your Race Team may still not contain more than TWO elements from any teams. i.e: If you already have Norris and Piastri in your Race Team, if you have put McLaren in your T2 choices the only way to move them into your Race Team is to first move either Norris or Piastri out.
  • Note: You must include at least one driver, and one car within your four choices

Transfers 3:

  • Takes place after Race 18
  • You choose two elements
  • You have £28m to spend, plus anything left from Transfers 2
  • All drivers and cars are available
  • You may still only have a maximum of TWO elements from an F1 team (as above)
  • Each transfer made after Race 18 costs 350 Championship Points
  • You may not make further transfers after Race 23
  • Note: You will have a maximum of Six races to make the Transfer points back

Notes

  • At no point throughout the entire season can a Driver be in his own F1 Team Car.
  • You may only make One transfer per race
  • Drivers/cars may only be moved within the race team to avoid the driver in own F1 car rule above.
  • See above for the new limits on number of transfers allowed.

FGP Team Selector

Team SelectorThe Team Selector is a tool to make choosing your team a lot easier. You can also use it as your entry form and send a copy via email to the FGP Manager.

The Selector works on PC, tablet and mobile phone. You will need a suitable spreadsheet app installed (Mobiles phones I suggest Microsoft's free version of Excel).

On opening the Selector for the first time you will be presented with the 'How To Use' screen, giving you details of what to do, etc. Use the tabs at the bottom to move to the main selector page.

Use the Drop-Down arrows to select drivers and cars. The selector will inform you when you are 'Over Budget', as well as other errors made. You can also select the two required bonus races.

Saving Teams: When you have a team you like, use 'Save As...' and save it with name you can later refer too when reloading, etc. This is also the file you can use to send as your entry to the FGP Manager.

If you wish to enter more than one team, then each time you will need to start again and create the next team. Sorry, there are no Clear buttons.

Don't forget to add your name, team name, etc at the top of the screen.
