Substitute Championship

describe:

This mod replaces the three default single-seater open tournaments in the game with alternative versions. These focus on races using different championship rules and previously unscheduled track layouts.

No DLC required / GT DLC / Tutorial compatible No changes

It doesn't modify any of the teams or any of the "real F1" features that many mods aim to introduce. It's designed to retain the unlicensed, alternate reality feel of the base MM game, while providing different career starts and in-game experiences for players of all experience levels. Eventually, I hope it will become part of the "ErrantSword" Mods integration pack, which can be activated or deactivated to provide various balancing options.

The mod comes with a new tournament logo and intro screen/video, and like all mods of this type, will only take effect when you start a new career.

The three new tournaments are as follows:

Tier 3 – European Racing Series (ERC)

A streamlined, pure racing experience with a reverse grid and fixed bonuses that promote overall equality. Therefore, a good driver, quick tire stops and successful fuel management are the keys to success. Component development is limited to Spec Engines and Spec Brakes, with a focus on improving design facilities.

• 9 races held in 5 European locations (Tondela D, Milan C, Guildford B, Munich C, Ardennes, Tondela B, Milan B, Guildford A and Munich B).

• Late start and early end every 2 weeks. While primarily intended to keep the gap between race weekends, these allow you time to work on entry-level components and more time for off-season development.

• The revised tournament rules are as follows:

Long practice session (20 minutes)

Reverse Championship Grid (mid-qualifying stages if voted)

short race

60 foot pit speed limit, 6 person pit

No gas

2 pre-ordered dry compound, 9 sets total

Low profile Brutus performance tire

Points for all riders (20 points reduced to 1pt), no bonus points

Physical security vehicle only

Spec engine, spec brakes and no driver aids

Equality-focused bonuses

Tier 2 - Asia Pacific Super Cup (APAC)

A more advanced formula that still supports junior teams, but points are harder to come by. More strategic planning is required to use several high-endurance tires and an 80kg fuel tank to facilitate limited pit stops in most situations. Parts development options can be improved by removing Spec Brakes.

• 12 games held in 6 Asia Pacific regions (Singapore, Pheonix D, Vancouver C, Yokohama C, Beijing E, Pheonix A, Vancouver B, Yokohama B, Beijing C, Pheonix C, Vancouver A and Sydney).

• Delayed start of 2 weeks, end of season in line with WGP.

• The revised tournament rules are as follows:

Medium to long exercise session (15 minutes)

Random grid (if voting, medium length qualifying sessions are used)

middle race

60 foot pit speed limit, 6 person pit

Refuel 80kg tank

3 pre-ordered dry compound, 9 sets total

Grooved Cortes endurance tires

Points for the top ten drivers, plus 2 bonus points for fastest lap

Physical and virtual safety cars

Spec engine, no driver assists

Merit-focused bonuses support £250,000 per game for 10th-placed team

Tier 1 - World Grand Prix (WGP)

Top models, the fastest models compete for limited points and ultimate glory. Although promoted teams receive a one-time bonus, it is difficult to obtain the bonus. A short practice session before qualifying, a small fuel tank and important tire selection combine to provide a complete strategic challenge. Part development options are unrestricted (except driver assistance).

• 16 matches worldwide by region (Dubai D, Doha B, Black Sea D, Rio de Janeiro C, Pheonix E, Vancouver C, Munich D, Milan A, Ardennes, Guildford A, Tondela A, Beijing A, Yokohama A, Singapore, Cape Town and Sydney).

• The revised tournament rules are as follows:

Short practice session (12 minutes)

Medium Qualifier (10 minutes)

long race

40 mph speed limit, full pit crew

Refuel 40kg tank

3 dry tire compounds, free choice of 12 sets
