Introduction

See the Skin thread for further information on how to create skins.
Standings and Points
The current standings of the Drivers Championship can be found here once the season has started.
A detailed point system will be calculated once the number of drivers for the coming season can be estimated
Penalties
Presto GP does not make any use of a penalty system, each driver is expected to behave responsibly at all time.
Incidents are analized after each race involving all drivers in order to get a learning effect for everyone.
Should a driver not stick to the Codex, he will either receive a warning, or, in serious or repeated cases,
be banned from the league.
Weather
Each session of a Grand Prix is run with customized weather created by our weather guru Daniel Hansson.
Daniel will post 2 weather forecasts for every Grand Prix.
The first forecast will be posted 1 week and the second 1 day before the race.
Drivers can use this information to decide wether they want to gamble and only practise for a dry race
or play it safe and practise for both dry and wet conditions.
Tires
There are no regulations on who often a compound has to be used.
Dry Tires
There are three available compounds for dry conditions,
Soft, Medium and Hard Tires.
Notice that with the current league format Hard Tires have a disadvantage over the other two compounds, so it's recommended to always use Soft and Medium Tires in normal dry conditions.
Intermediate Tires
Inters are recommended between a track wetness of 75% (mid Light-Rain Conditions) and 85% (starting Heavy-Rain Conditions).
Heavy Wet Tires
Heavy Wets are recommended from a track wetness of 85% on.
Absence
Presto GP relies on and has always consisted of consistent drivers.
