The RaceDepartment Formula FG Championship is a championship held in the Forum Games section of RaceDepartment using Grand Prix 4 to fully simulate race sessions. The first championship started in October 2014, with weekly races run, filmed and commentated by the Moderator.
Formula FG[]
Formula FG is a single seat series in which participating teams are required to choose a vehicle (any post 1988 F1 car, or a standard F1 Style car) and then paint it. Teams are then required to hire themselves two drivers to drive their vehicles using Grand Prix 4 to simulate the race weekend. Teams and drivers receive cash for their efforts, which they can use to further progress their skill. Points are awarded to post 2010 F1 style (25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1), with the Formula FG Championship for Drivers awarded to the single driver posting the largest haul of points for the season. The Formula FG Constructors Championship is awarded to the team whose cars have together scored the most points over the season, with no limit to the amount of drivers involved. Races are held over distances between 50-100% the full Grand Prix distance, with the majority of races at 75%.
History[]

Pablo Diehl had wins in Brazil (home race), Spain and Canada; Tim Engberink won in Germany; Tapio Rinneaho won in Monaco; and Jack Hunsley won in San Marino, Great Britain (home race), Austria and Europe to hold the championship lead.
