Answers to common questions about Racing Picks.
Is Racing Picks free?
Yes — creating an account and playing is completely free.
Which series can I play?
Formula 1, NASCAR Cup Series, and IndyCar. Each series has its own leaderboard and pick page.
Do I need to follow all three series?
No. Play as many or as few as you like. Your stats are tracked independently per series.
When do picks open?
Picks open 5 days before each race and close 1 hour before the scheduled start time.
Can I change my pick after submitting?
Yes — you can update your pick any time before the race locks. Your most recent submission is the one that counts.
What if I forget to submit a pick?
No pick, no points. There's no penalty for missing a race, but you'll miss out on the points.
Can I pick the same driver for multiple positions?
No. Each driver can only appear once in your P1/P2/P3 selection.
How are points calculated?
6 points for the correct driver in the exact position, 2 points if the driver finished in the top 3 but in a different spot. Maximum 18 points per race.
What counts as a "perfect pick"?
A perfect pick is a full 18-point score — all three drivers in the exact correct positions.
When are results posted?
Results are entered by an admin after the race finishes. Leaderboards update as soon as scores are saved.
What if the results are corrected after the fact?
If official results are corrected (e.g. post-race penalties), the admin can re-score the race and everyone's stats update automatically.
What are Groups?
Groups let you compete on a private leaderboard with friends. Each group is tied to a specific series and season year.
How do I create a group?
Go to Groups → Create Group. Choose a name, series, and whether the group is public or private. Private groups require a password to join.
Can I join multiple groups?
Yes. You can join as many groups as you like across any series.
Can I leave a group?
Yes — visit the group page and use the Leave Group button. Group admins cannot leave unless another admin is present.
