Welcome to the Sportal Fantasy V8 Supercars competition. Sportal Fantasy V8 Supercars is an exciting and interactive competition where your role as selector of your own group of drivers is to select a team of drivers that will score as the most Fantasy points. Compete against your family and friends for ultimate bragging rights.
This competition is based around the 2010 V8 Supercars season to be contested between March and December.
In your role as selector, you will be allocated a salary cap of $15 million ($15,000,000) to spend on drivers. You are not allowed to exceed your salary cap when selecting your group of drivers. The value of drivers will fluctuate throughout the season depending on their recent form.
How well your selected fantasy team performs depends on the real, actual performances of your selected drivers in each round. Your drivers earn fantasy points for statistics such as qualifying position, race position and how many positions they improved between qualifying and the actual race.
The aim of the competition is to score the most fantasy points over the duration of the season. Fantasy V8 supercars scores will be processed and displayed at the completion of each round. You can check in throughout the competition to trade non-performing drivers for in-form drivers and to measure how well your team is performing in your League, or overall.
