All -

The issue has come up recently of drivers who were not initially listed as the team's drivers (as per oneGP forums) coming in to race for that team. I would like comment from Team Managers and series drivers alike as to how teams should be handled for the oneGP F1 World Series.

To my interpretation, it is not stated in the rules that there is a limit on drivers. A reread may make this evident, but I would like all to rethink the team setup in oneGP.

I do wish to keep the Team Manager system intack - it's a brilliant idea. However, for clerical clarity and consistency of racing, I would like to hear comment on how to limit/restrict who can drive.

I would think two primary drivers (as in, the entrants for the team by default) who are slated to be at every round, plus two or three test drivers/reserve drivers able to fill in in the event a primary driver cannot attend an event.

This issue is well open to discussion, and I'm interested in hearing comments from anyone in the matter. Official amendment to the rules is not in at this stage.

Thanks for help in this,

For now, I think putting a restriction on who can drive will cause more harm than good. We're not really overflowing with drivers yet so I think it's good to get who we can.

The following is the drivers contract of the oneGP group.

I think you can see clearly from this what the oneGP founders intended for 'teams' to mean. As any driver coming into a team would be for a minimum of 3 rounds it would have specifically prevented many of the ''issues'' experienced over recent round with drivers swapping teams, single race standin's and drivers racing for alternate teams every round.

Best, Maz
