Welcome
Well, here it is, the IndyCar Series 2008 Manager. It will be run under the HC Racing banner, which I've in the past used for my weblog. The Champ Car World Series has now closed down and several teams/events have joined the IndyCar ranks. This only happened a couple of weeks before the season start, meaning I was not able to create this game any earlier. But what a season we have in store. Some of the most fantastic tracks are on the calendar and there's a bunch of cars ready to go racing at Miami. The rules will now be explained.
The Rules
In the IndyCar Manager game you have to choose eight drivers. The drivers can be picked from seven groups of three drivers and one of four drivers, this means you can't choose two drivers that are in the same group. You will score the same amount as points as your drivers get. The points system is the same as in the IRL.
Code: Select all

Three points are awarded to the driver who leads the most laps in each race.
At the end of the year the member with the most points will win the game. When your driver is injured, or has another reason he can't drive, the reserve driver will score points for you. Entries are open to everyone, if you want to join just post your drivers in this thread.
Bonus Points
In two races you can double your points, if you for example get 40 points it will be doubled to 80. Good luck on choosing your two events.
