How it works

Make picks for each race, submit before Practice 1 (FP1), then track your points on the leaderboard.

Start predictingView leaderboard
1) Make your picks
Each race has a set of questions (Good Surprise, Big Flop, Pole, Podium, Winner). You can change your picks anytime until the submission deadline.
2) Submit before FP1
Submissions are open until Practice 1 (FP1) starts. Once FP1 begins, predictions lock automatically and you can’t change them.
3) Score + rank
After results are entered for a race, your picks earn points and the leaderboard updates. Season totals are the default view, with a Race tab for per-race standings.

Submission rules

These rules keep the game fair and prevent “last-second” edits after meaningful track action starts.

Lock timing (FP1 deadline)
Your submission deadline is the moment FP1 begins for the selected race. If FP1 has started, the app will block submissions and edits.
Validation checks
  • Podium must be unique: Winner (P1), P2, and P3 must all be different drivers.
  • Good Surprise ≠ Big Flop: you can’t pick the same driver/team for both.
  • Must be logged in: only authenticated users can submit.
Editing submissions

You can freely change picks before FP1. Re-submitting updates your existing entry for that race (one prediction set per user per race). After FP1 starts, submissions are locked.

Scoring

Scoring is intentionally simple right now. Every correct driver pick is worth 1 point. For the two questions that allow driver or team picks (Good Surprise and Big Flop), a correct team pick is worth 2 points.

Race results + explanations

After each race, we’ll publish the official results used for scoring — including the selected Good Surprise and Big Flop — with a short explanation for each. This section will be available under the "Race-Verdict" (under work) section on the navigation bar once it’s released.

How “Good Surprise” and “Big Flop” are decided

These are intentionally “judgment calls” and are scored after each race based on performance relative to expectation. The goal is to reward bold picks, not just picking the fastest car.

Good Surprise (driver or team)
A Good Surprise is the driver or team that clearly outperforms expectations for that weekend. Examples: unexpected pace, standout race result, big points haul, strong recovery drive, or “best of the rest.”
How it’s chosen: the admin selects the Good Surprise after the race based on the weekend story.
Big Flop (driver or team)
A Big Flop is the driver or team that clearly underperforms expectations for that weekend. Examples: major pace deficit, poor execution, avoidable incidents, strategy disaster, or an unexpected scoreless race.
How it’s chosen: the admin selects the Big Flop after the race based on the weekend story.
Important notes
  • These picks are not purely determined by final position. Context matters (pace, expectation, incidents, reliability).
