Rules Section Updated: 1.1 Format

The highest level of the game is Elite, below this are 4 Master groups, followed by 16 Pro groups, 64 Amateur groups and 256 Rookie groups.

When notifying mr Shadow you must state:

- the exact period during which the other manager takes care of your account
Further more the period during which the other manager takes care of your account must not exceed 3 weeks and the other manager must not manage any other accounts during that time (excluding his own obviously). You should provide the manager with your login details, but it is recommended that you use a temporary password during your holiday. You take the full responsibility of letting a manager who you trust to take care of your account, if he messes up your account it is your fault, not ours!
Note that after notifying mr Shadow, waiting for a response from him is not a must, as it may take up to a few days before he responds.

Rules Section Updated: 7.2 Other Matters
Information Updated:
When the End of Season script runs, the wear on all parts is reset to zero, and all your parts remain at the level they were the previous season (except in the Rookie groups). Any manager with a negative balance will automatically sell their parts and facilities at half price, starting with the highest levels, until they reach a positive balance. In case the manager's balance is still negative after this, then the manager will get a donation from GPRO FIA which will cover his remaining debt and he/she will start the new season with $0.

Date of Update: 14 November 2008
Rules Section Updated: 3.4 General staff and facilities
Info added/updated:
Over time the level of your facilities will deteriorate and if you want to keep them at the same level you will have to upgrade them again.
The following limits of facility levels apply for the different classes:
• Managers in Master groups cannot buy facilities above level 80
• Managers in Pro groups cannot buy facilities above level 60
• Managers in Amateur groups cannot buy facilities above level 40
• Managers in Rookie groups cannot buy facilities above level 20
Date of Update: 14 November 2008
Rules Section Updated: 7.3 Taxes
Info added/updated (information moved from 7.2 for extra clarity):
7.3.1 Relegation taxes
Managers who relegate to a lower class will get taxed as follows:
For a relegation from Elite to Master 70% of the money above $50.000.000 will be paid as tax.
For a relegation from Master to Pro 70% of the money above $40.000.000 will be paid as tax.
For a relegation from Pro to Amateur 70% of the money above $30.000.000 will be paid as tax.
Example: if you relegate with $100.000.000 from Elite to Master, you will have to pay 70% of $50.000.000 which is $35.000.000 in relegation taxes.
The 70% taxes for relegating managers will be applied before the casual 25% taxes (explained below) which apply for all managers who have more than $50.000.000 after the season reset.
7.3.2 Casual taxes
Managers will get taxed on money over $50.000.000 at a rate of 25%. For example a manager with $65.000.000 will get taxed as follows:
$65.000.000 - $50.000.000 = $15.000.000
25% of $15.000.000 is $3.750.000. So the manager would pay $3.750.000 in tax at the end of the season.

The cup competition is a side competition within your own group based on the 17 races in the season and consisting of 6 stages each of which can earn you a small financial bonus. The cup competition works according to the following scheme:
• The first 32 managers in the season standings after Race 2 will take part in cup competition (this is considered stage 1). The initial pairing after Race 2 will be done as follows: 1st with 32nd, 2nd with 31st and so on.

To win a stage a manager has to beat his opponent in at least 2 of the 3 races included in the stage and will then advance to the next stage of the cup.
• If two rivals have 1 win each and both miss one race the winner will be the one who has higher season standings position.
• If both managers miss 3 races then noone will go further in the cup net. Their potential opponent won't have a rival on the next stage.
• For each cup stage you go through you will win a small financial bonus. The amount of the bonus depends on the class you are racing in:
Elite: $1.000.000 per stage
Master: $900.000 per stage
Pro: $800.000 per stage
