F1 Rejects Indy Championship Series

The F1 Rejects Indy Championship Series is an IndyCar-style series, hosted on the Perry McCarthy Memorial Forum at F1 Rejects. The series is simulated with the sporting simulation programme "xkoranate". As the ICS is clearly inspired by the CART-era of real life American Open Wheel Racing, the ICS also features multiple chassis and engine manufacturers.

The current season can be found here.

Series Information

Drivers

Every driver (fictional or real life) is eligible to run in this series.

Technical

The Indy Championship Series utilizes 3-litre turbo engines, with a maximum of six cylinders. Every engine manufacturer uses a V6 turbo, except for Aston Martin, as they went for a row-6 turbo. Engine suppliers for the series are: Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota, Cosworth, Judd, Infiniti and as mentioned, Aston Martin.

There are also different choices of chassis. But these do not only differ in the name of the manufacturer, but also of the age. Currently, teams, who want to save some money, can choose to buy a two-year old chassis. But from the next season on, teams have to use the newest chassis, if they want to compete in the Indy Championship Series. The exception is the Indy 500, where teams will still be able to enter older cars. Chassis manufacturers are Reynard, Lola, Swift and Panoz.

Points System

For the 2015 season, the top-20 positions are awarded points in a 45-38-35-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 format. But the ICS will adopt the 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 format for the 2016 season.

Prize Money

Every car which finishes the race is awarded prize money. The amount of money depends on the type of circuit, and the amount of cars finishing the race. Car owners will also receive a year-end bonus, based on the points their drivers have scored throughout the season. From the next season on, only the top-10 will receive prize money.
