Handicap Explanation
Each chassis will have a base fuel level intended to even out the performance:
BT7 / Cooper T77   = 5 gals
Honda   = 9 gals
BRM   = 11 gals
BT11 / Ferrari   = 12 gals
Lotus   = 13 gals

To this fuel level, each driver will add (or subtract) a number of gallons according to their current handicap to determine the minimum fuel quantity with which to enter the track.  You are of course allowed to put more fuel in if necessary to complete the race...
Note that this fuel level will also apply for qualifying sessions.  You are however free to run as many laps as you like to set your best time.
 
Handicaps will be worked out as follows:

After each race, the top 30%of drivers will receive a fuel increase while the bottom 30% will receive a fuel reduction.  Amounts are directly proportional to the number of drivers and position.
Field size for the purpose of calculating handicaps will be determined based on the number of finishers only.

ie:  12 starters --> 10 finishers = the following:Position   Fuel adjustment
1st   +3
2nd   +2
3rd   +1
4th   0
5th   0
6th   0
7th   0
8th   -1
9th   -2
10th   -3


A running tally will be kept throughout the season and updated each week.
It will be each driver's responsibility to check the forum for the official handicaps.

In occasions where the number of finishers does not divide easily into 10, a simple rounding process will be applied.  (i.e.  9 - 10 - 11 finishers = top 3 and bottom 3 affected.  6-7-8 finishers = top 2 and bottom 2 affected, etc...)
In cases where only the top 2 are affected, the winner will get a +2 gallon penalty, 2nd will get +1, etc...
Conversely, if the top 4 are affected, the winner will get +4, etc...
