Tyka's 2010 F1 Summer League is about to start!
We have hardly finished the Enduracers Winter League and we are already preparing for another exciting Formula 1 season on Tyka. With 19 races on the calendar this is definitely going to be a long battle. Will JuanFran be able to defend his drivers title? Is LRT strong enough to become team champion for two consecutive seasons? In the past leagues the champions were only decided in one of the last races - if not the last race - so I guess we will only find out in November. As usual, CasH will be your league admin and our team of marshals is ready for support.
Mod
This season we will be driving the F1 WCP 2.1 mod. The mod is available for
download from the Tyka server. Note: You have to install the full v2.0 version first and then apply the v2.1 patch!
Schedule
As we follow the real F1 season we will usually be running the week after the real F1 race has taken place. On some occasions there are F1 races on two consecutive weekends, which oblige us to run a race on an F1 weekend. The entire
schedule is already available, but it is possible a few changes will be made over the course of the season. The tracks will be made available for
download before the qualifying period of each race opens and can always be autodownloaded through the client by simply joining the training room.
There will be two qualifying days when there's a 1-week schedule and five qualifying days when there's a 2-week schedule. The days to qualify are Wednesdays and Fridays, with Sundays only the for 2-week schedules. To accomodate as many users as possible from all timezones, there are eight qualifying sessions per qualifying day (four for AMA, four for EXP), each at different times. This will ensure you always have the chance to participate in a session to qualify for the race. If you still cannot make it to any of the sessions, you can send
an email to CasH to be added to the back of the grid.
There will only be one race for all timezones. The race heats will be held on Sunday evenings. The AMA race is 50% of the race length and starts first, followed by the 100% EXP race. The races may be split into multiple heats depending on the number of contestants. If there's a need for a second heat it will be held simultanously with or after the first EXP race - depending on the load imposed on the server. In case there are very large numbers and a third heat is required, we will either plan the race on another time or day, or see if we can use another server.
Skills
We will be running both an amateur (AMA) and an expert (EXP) championship. These championships are completely separate for drivers and teams. The differences between the championships as well as the points given for the qualifying and race results can be seen on the
rules page.
Teams
The current teams can be found on the
teams page. To organise your team (create a new team and add or remove drivers) please send me
an email with the necessary information and I'll make the adjustments right away. Please keep in mind that changes made during a race week will only be reflected for the next race.
How to join?
We are still working on getting a proper league guide ready. Be sure to read the
championship guide and the
rules page. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask them on the
forum.
Forum
Don't forget to keep an eye on the
forum. Here you can read all the latest information and discussions of the league. We also use it for last-minute notifications or important warnings, so be sure to check before every race that you don't miss anything.
We hope you will enjoy the league!
