Don't be shy to join in the voting! Every vote is welcome as long as they are done with a pure heart and as little bias as possible.
Posted early! Voting opens when the race is over.
Welcome to the 2024 Voting Championship!
Full rules below:
------------------------------------------
Remember to consider the whole weekend, not just the race. Also remember that it's the driver's performance that should be rated, not the car's.
------------------------------------------
Step 1 - GP takes place & voting opens
Step 2 - Everybody votes according to these rules:
* You can give a driver either three, two or one point. (Or zero, which is default.) * You can distribute no more than TWELVE points (but less if you want to). * You need to vote for at least FOUR drivers.
If I feel you are simply voting for the fav driver each time I'll put you on the ignore list for a while. (I won't be voting myself, to make it fairer). Motivating your own and politely discussing other peoples votes is fine, but ridiculing other people's votes will get you ignored. Posts should be along the lines of:
...3 points: the driver/s you think did the best job during the weekend
...2 points: the next best ones
...1 point: the ones after that
Make it clear which driver you mean. Votes that are too unspecific will be ignored.
Step 3- Voting will close in about a week
Step 4 - I'll add up the total number of votes. This will produce a 'race result'. Should drivers have the same voting score the tiebreaker priority is as follows:
1) Discarded votes due to excessive points distribution are allowed in to break the ties
2) Number of votes cast on the tied drivers, the more votes the better
3) Reversed constructors championship order after the race
4) Race result order
Step 5 - The drivers will then be awarded championship points on a 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 system. Only drivers that have been voted for can score championship points.

Rate the race
------------------------------------------
Please rate the race from 0-10, using the following guide.
Quality of race
This should be a reflection of how good the race was, not how much you liked the results. Please don't give it a one or two just because driver X failed to win the championship. Think about how much it had your pulse racing and you guessing at what the end result was going to be. Use the guide below to help, and think carefully. Try to compare it not just to the last few races, but all the grand prix you've ever watched. Votes of 9 and 10 should be quite rare.
10 The best race I've ever seen
9 Contender for the best race of the last few seasons
8 Contender for the best race of the season
7 Brilliant race, I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of the race
6 Better than average, more than a few on the edge the seat moments
5 An average race, nothing spectacular but worth watching
4 Below average, too few exciting moments
3 Well, there was one or two moments of interest
2 That was completely predictable
1 I struggled to watch it all the way through
0 I slept through most of it
Satisfaction with the results
Please also rate the race in terms of how satisfied you are with the results. This one should be based on if driver X wins the championship or not! Also factors such controversy over DQ's that sour the event should be considered.
10 All the right results, and done with style
9 All the right results, if not in the best manner
8 Mostly the right results
7 Mostly the right results with a bit of luck
6 Some of drivers/teams I liked did well
5 Neither happy nor sad with the results
4 My likes didn't quite manage to do well
3 My likes did quite badly
2 My likes did quite badly and my dislikes did good
1 All the wrong drivers/teams did very well but I'll give them credit for doing it well
0 All the wrong drivers/teams did very well and the right ones did badly
Note: people who are on the Voting Championship ignore list can still participate in Rate the race.
