Your captain earns 1.5x points, so select a driver with high consistency and stage-winning potential. Don't always pick the favorite - consider value drivers who consistently finish top 5.
Mix proven podium contenders with value picks who reliably score points. A driver finishing 6th-10th consistently can outscore an aggressive driver who risks DNF.
Some drivers excel on specific terrain types (gravel, tarmac, snow). Research historical performance on similar courses to identify drivers likely to outperform their cost.
Changing weather conditions dramatically affect rally outcomes. Drivers skilled in wet or snowy conditions become valuable picks when forecasts predict challenging weather.
Stage wins accumulate quickly. A driver winning multiple stages but finishing 4th overall can outscore the rally winner. Target drivers known for fast stage times.
The -15 point DNF penalty is severe. Aggressive drivers pushing too hard may not be worth the risk in contests where consistency wins. Check recent reliability records.
Example Calculation:
Driver finishes 2nd overall (+75 pts), wins 3 stages (+75 pts), gets 2nd on another stage (+15 pts), completes all stages (+20 pts), and has clean run (+10 pts) = 195 total points
If this driver is your captain: 195 × 1.5 = 292.5 points
Budget Management: Each contest has a salary cap. Top drivers cost more but don't always deliver proportional returns. Find the sweet spot between star power and value picks to maximize total team scoring.
Roster Construction: Most contests require 5-6 drivers within your budget. Diversify across different driver styles - some stage specialists, some consistency experts, and one or two podium contenders.
Late Swap Strategy: In multi-day rallies, monitor Day 1 performance. Some contests allow lineup changes between days, letting you pivot to drivers showing strong form.
Correlation Plays: Consider how drivers interact. If betting on challenging conditions favoring underdogs, stack multiple value drivers who excel in those conditions rather than mixing safe picks.
