Formula 1 Changes

Please read the latest changes to the Formula 1 World Series system.

After consultation with F1 team representatives and some consideration from DebiK, the following changes will be made to the Formula 1 World Series system:

FOR SEASON 67
- Tyre wear will be increased so 4 stops can be allowed, as well as giving 5 Softs, 4 Mediums and 3 Hards to teams for each Grand Prix.
- The "setup sophistication" parameter for F1 cars will be increased, so that getting perfect setups becomes harder.

FOR SEASON 68
- The second share issue will be raised to 70% for the next whole engine cycle (S68-S75). The effectiveness of this measure would be evaluated in season 74, while temporary adjustments for the bottom 3-5 teams could be considered for the second half of the engine cycle.
- The soft tanking budget cap will be lowered to 50M, while the hard tanking budget cap will be lowered to 60M.
- There will be a 35% tax for teams exceeding the soft cap and a 70% tax for teams exceeding the hard cap on their budget on the last day of the season.
For example, if there is a team with 65M, it would be taxed with 3,5M for the first 10M (from 50 to 60), and another 3,5M for the next 5M (from 60 to 65). Final taxation would be 7M, so the team would go from 65M to 58M.
- A new C1-C6 tyre compound system will be implemented, where C1 is the hardest and C6 the softest. Three consecutive compounds would be randomly chosen for each race using the random allocation system. Each random allocation would be done every 2-3 seasons to avoid running through all combinations too quickly.
