The 4 separate date periods are shown under the T&Cs, an extract taken from the T&Cs:

Period 1 = First Corner, period dates - 16/03/14 to 11/05/14 (payable by 09/06/14). Period 2= Chicane, period dates - 25/05/14 to 06/07/14 (payable by 03/08/14).. Period 3 = Long Straight, period dates, 20/07/14 to 21/09/14 (payable by 19/10/14). Period 4 = Final Lap, period dates 05/10/14 to 23/11/14 (payable by 09.01.15)

I don't think you can change the bonus circuit once it's chosen.

<snip>I was hoping to change my bonus circuit as one of my transfers but you could well be right. It's not clear from the rules but I guess we'll find out next week when the transfer window opens.

With regard to changing the bonus circuit, all other components are clickable whereas the bonus circuit isn't so that made me believe you can't change it but we shall see.

From the GAME RULES

http://fantasygp.games-redspottedhanky.com/default.aspx?page=rules

Picking Your Team
To enter a team you must select a Fantasy team which will score points based on the performances of individual Components (drivers, engines and constructors) in the 2014 Season.

You have a total budget of 100 million Euros to choose a fantasy team comprising of the following:

4 x Drivers
2 x Constructors
1 x Engine
1 x Bonus Race
NOTE: You cannot change your bonus race once your team is submitted, so choose CAREFULLY!



Seems clear enough to me

I did say in the very 1st post that you only got ONE choice and I'm sure I repeated this at least once if not more

chels

Well yes it's mostly straightforward when you read and digest it all but there does seem to be some conflicting stuff but maybe because I haven't digested it all I guess for most of us we skim read but that does not apply to you quoia

Yeah, i've seen the points have been revised, i'm ComeOnMcLaren on 482 points.

Thanks quoia, I really must learn to read more carefully...

Not many will have passed 500 with all the retirements, 400+ is good. Would definitely think about getting the Williams drivers in my team after that race.

Yes as I said, the absolute maximum points possible for the GP weekend is 586

MSE league member in "top place" is Buckleys with 534 points

2 teams Woodford Wanderers and Whoosh both scored 503 but played the Bonus Circuit option here so doubled up to 1006 points

If you want to "particpate" and EARN POINTS from MALAYSIA

YOU MUST CORRECT THESE OMISSIONS

Not only will you have to COMPLETE your Team and SAVE it
but having missed the last deadline

YOU MUST NOW SUBMIT IT !!!!

And to remind everyone yet again

A TEAM is ONLY A TEAM ....

.... IF IT COMPRISES OF

4 x Drivers
2 x Constructors
1 x Engine
1 x Bonus Race

If ANY of these are missing ...

... YOU DO NOT HAVE A TEAM


Finally (I hope that it will not let you do this BUT) WHEN PICKING the Bonus Race obviously DO NOT choose Australia (IF you can)
It's already happened, you've missed it, you were not there in time.

Thanks quoia, your updates are really helpful.

I'm confused why there are so many questions about changing your team, etc.

Why not just choose to let the site automatically build your team? I just checked my teams and they are still set up with all the positions, have engines, etc. Budget is low so it looks like the site has been automatically swapping things out and upgrading when it has funds.

I guess you may not have as much fun or not get the best optimisation, but if you have it set that way, then it's kind of a set-and-forget-it it seems.

Is there some reason why you can't or shouldn't just leave your teams on auto-run mode?
