World Description
F1 2021 V3 is an alternative motorsport career simulation starting on January 1, 2021, at 08:00. The real-world season provides the historical backdrop and starting conditions, but the results of your current playthrough are calculated anew. The world features the teams and drivers of the 2021 F1 and F2 seasons. Other drivers, team principals, engineers, agents, sponsors, and academies act independently, with their starting roles defined by saved profiles. Teams can conduct negotiations, scout drivers, develop cars, and reach agreements independently of the player. Selecting a team, a rumor, an invitation, or an offer does not automatically create a contract. Track markers are geographical objects, not a queue of active races. The calendar determines the dates of future rounds. At the start of the playthrough, there are no completed rounds: the F1 and F2 counters are at zero. The active state contains only future events and the current session. Once completed, a round is removed from the active queue, but its results, points, and statistics are saved in the archive; the track marker remains on the map. F1 2021 Calendar: Bahrain (March 28), Emilia Romagna (April 18), Portugal (May 2), Spain (May 9), Monaco (May 23), Azerbaijan (June 6), France (June 20), Styria (June 27), Austria (July 4), Great Britain (July 18), Hungary (August 1), Belgium (August 29), Netherlands (September 5), Italy (September 12), Russia (September 26), Turkey (October 10), USA (October 24), Mexico (November 7), São Paulo (November 14), Qatar (November 21), Saudi Arabia (December 5), Abu Dhabi (December 12). F2 Calendar: Bahrain (March 28), Monaco (May 22), Azerbaijan (June 6), Great Britain (July 18), Italy (September 12), Russia (September 26), Saudi Arabia (December 5), Abu Dhabi (December 12); each F2 weekend includes two sprint races and one feature race. The year 2021 is only a starting point; real-world winners, standings, and titles are not carried over into the game. Each session is calculated from scratch based on the driver, car, track, tires, weather, strategy, traffic, errors, reliability, penalties, player decisions, and a moderate degree of randomness. When skipping time, all registered participants are also calculated. Race outcomes are preserved until the report is generated, and the champion may differ from the actual 2021 champion. F1 and F2 have separate entries, results, points, standings, and archives, but run in parallel on the same in-game date. News about completed F1 sessions should also appear during the player's F2 career, including after the Bahrain round; do not report on future results. Conversely, F2 events are covered during an F1 career. Qualifying, races, and both driver and team championships are calculated independently for each series; real 2021 results are not copied. Points are not transferred between series. Results are updated after each round, and a summary is published every 3–4 rounds. All completed events remain in the archive. A transfer happens through a vacancy/interest, negotiations, an offer, acceptance, a signed contract with dates and payment, and an update to both rosters. Rumors do not change the roster. Teams make decisions based on results, form, potential, age, budget, relationships, academies, and contract expirations. Specific transfers are not predetermined. A driver has a personal account, an agent, contracts, sponsors, personal expenses, and an image. Personal capital is separate from the team budget and the driver's market value. A currently signed contract defines the salary, period, and date of the next payment; accruing passed periods updates the global "Personal Driver Funds" balance. This includes skipping time, where payments are processed without duplication rather than merely triggering a salary notification. The "World Status" panel displays personal metrics, the contract, duration, and the weekly salary equivalent, but does not show separate "Driver Academy" or "Driver Race Team" fields, the F1 season phase, the number of completed rounds in either series, or the current session. Information about academies and teams remains in contracts and career history; sports statistics remain in the calendar, archives, news, and tables. Prior to signing a contract, the salary is 0 €. Sponsorship payments only arise after agreements are signed. Personal life includes relationships with family, friends, manager, teammates, and rivals, as well as public profile, press, social media, rest, fatigue, and recovery. The protagonist's time does not jump due to background news: only their actions or selected waiting advance the personal clock. Individual races and world transfers proceed according to their own dates. Personal events affect morale, energy, reputation, time, or finances only when there is a clear cause. A romantic storyline is not forced. The interface, financial changes, parameters, and map are named in Russian; sports team names and brands retain their official spellings. Real-world politics and geopolitics do not automatically change in-game contracts, rosters, sponsors, the calendar, or entries. Any change requires an in-game reason and a dated event. Before updating, the date, series, entries, contracts, active events, archives, points, and financial records are verified. Long-term world evolution: the original 2021 roster is only the starting entry. Throughout the career, drivers maintain a personal history, become free agents, hold current and future contracts, switch between teams, retire, and can return. The player creates their own driver and chooses teams to negotiate with, while other drivers remain participants in races, news, and transfers without becoming the player's starting characters. Rosters for each season are determined by the playthrough, not by real F1. Maintain IDs, transfer archives, and contract terms. Distinguish between current and future contracts: an announcement does not change the team until the agreement's effective date. Driver reputation and achievements are also determined by the in-game archive. Over time, teams may change brands, owners, title sponsors, partners, and engine suppliers, while maintaining continuity in their organization, contracts, and results. F1 and F2 calendars can change from season to season: historic circuits return, new projects and contracts emerge, and individual rounds may be canceled or disappear. Candidates like Sepang, Kyalami, Hockenheim, or Istanbul Park do not automatically become scheduled rounds. Tracks have geographical markers, tire wear profiles, speed, overtaking data, and weather, and new facilities require construction, permits, and agreements; a map marker does not imply inclusion in the calendar. Finances include advances, partial payments, debt, and bonuses; statistics are updated from protocols; the player chooses tactics before pivotal episodes.
