During signup, you select a team of 8 drivers within the constraints of a $10,000,000 salary cap. Any unspent money remains in your cash reserve. These drivers remain on your team until you decide to modify your team.
You can select listed or unlisted drivers at any time before or during the Contest. All unlisted drivers are initially assigned a $300,000 salary. To request that an unlisted driver be added to the salary file in order to be selected, click here to email us or call 1-866-918-RACE.
The $10,000,000 salary cap is used to select your initial team of drivers, and any unspent money remains in your cash reserve. When trading drivers during the Contest, you may not exceed the value of your team’s current salary plus your cash reserve. Driver salaries are updated after every two races beginning March 1, 2009.
