Daze of Thunder — Formula Fantasy

How It Works

Formula Fantasy is Daze of Thunder's season-long competition, run alongside the real 2026 Formula 1 calendar. Here's how it works: draft real F1 drivers, then rack up points two ways — how they actually finish on Sundays, and how you finish against each other on the sim.

The Season, Step by Step

Draft your drivers
At the start of the season, each member drafts 2 real F1 drivers in a live snake-order draft — pick order reverses every round, so nobody drafts twice in a row.
Draft your teammate as your constructor team
Everyone also pairs up with a teammate to form a Constructor team — same idea as a real F1 team fielding two cars. Since our roster doesn't split evenly, one team ends up with three drivers instead of two. Your team's combined Sim Racing results carry the Constructors' Championship, so who you're paired with matters as much as who you draft.
Score with Fantasy F1 points
Every real F1 race weekend, your two drafted drivers earn Fantasy F1 points based on how they actually finish — our own NASCAR-inspired scale, where every finisher scores, not just the top 10.
Race each other in iRacing
Members also go wheel-to-wheel in iRacing, with each event mapped to a round on the real F1 calendar — your on-track finishes earn Sim Racing points of their own.
Your best 9 of 12 count
Life happens. For this half-season (rounds 12 through 23), each driver's Sim Racing total counts only their best 9 of those 12 races — recalculated live every week, not settled once at the end — so missing up to 3 costs nothing; only your own worst results ever get dropped. Fantasy F1 isn't affected, since it's not something a scheduling conflict can make you miss. Constructors' totals are built the same way, one level up: each team's top scorer's best-9 total counts in full, and every other member's is averaged in.
Chase the championship
Fantasy F1 and Sim Racing points combine into one overall Daze of Thunder champion — plus standalone Fantasy, Sim Racing, and Constructors' standings.

Every classified finisher scores under our own NASCAR-inspired scale — no cutoff at 10th like real F1. The win is worth the full grid size, then points drop by one per position, down to 1 point for last.

Same NASCAR-inspired shape, scaled to our own 11-person grid instead of F1's — every finisher scores, the win is worth 11 points, and points drop by one per position after a small bonus over 2nd place. For this half-season, only your best 9 of 12 races count toward your total — see below.
