New entries are always welcome!
Do note the difference between entering the game for the first time and making changes to your existing entry:
If you don't want to make any changes, you don't need to make any post here!
* New entries submit an entry with 100 shares as described below
* Existing players may only shift position for at most 20 of their shares each round, as described below.
Deadline for both edits and new entries is the start of first free practice.

Submitting an initial entry
The first time you play this game, you shall submit an entry where you place 100 shares among the drivers, fulfilling these conditions:
* You may only hold 100 shares (or less, which doesn't help you) in total at a time.
* You can not own fractions of a share, just integer shares.
* You can place no more than 40 shares on any one driver.
* You must own shares in at least three drivers.
* You may not own shares in more than ten drivers.
* You may edit your first entry as much as you like until the edit deadline (first free practice) for the coming race.
Note that there is no limit to the number of shares available for each driver.
Also note that your initial entry is the basis for the following rounds too! You'll be allowed to change no more than 20 shares before each race, so make sure your initial entry looks at least 80% respectable...
Entry Example A from 1975:
E Fittipaldi 37
Reutemann 22
Depailler 16
Peterson 12
Ickx 10
Donohue 3
Editing your entry after the first round it takes part in
* After the first race your entry took part in, you may only change 20 of your shares at a time (for the next race).
* You do not have to edit your entry at all! If you so wish, you can leave your entry as it is from race one and not make a single change throughout the season.
* If a driver is replaced -temporarily or permanently- during the season, the shares placed on him will automatically be transferred to the replacing driver. So you could say that the shares actually are attached to the car number.
* You may edit your changes as much as you like until the edit deadline for the coming race.
* Edit deadline for changes is the beginning of first free practice for each race.
Example B:
After the first race, the shareholder who submitted the entry in Example A from 1975 realizes that the Lotus is a dud, and submits an edit to her entry as follows:
Sell:
Peterson -10
Ickx -10
Buy:
Pace +10
Reutemann +5
Depailler +5
Her new "portfolio" will after the entry look like this:
E Fittipaldi 37
Reutemann 27
Depailler 21
Pace 10
Donohue 3
Peterson 2
The above change of shares can perhaps best be written like this:
E Fittipaldi 37
Reutemann 27 (+5)
Depailler 21 (+5)
Pace 10 (+10)
Donohue 3
Peterson 2 (-10)
Ickx 0 (-10)
Posting changes in this way may make it easier for you to keep track of what your portfolio looks like, if you look back into these change threads.
Just look at the initial thread, and it's a bit of a drag to backtrack some players' changes!
An edit doesn't have to look just like above, any way is fine as long as it's easy to understand which driver shares are to be sold and which to be bought.
NOTE: I won't automatically be posting updates on what each player's portfolio looks like, so remember to keep track of what you own!
