A race track at dusk, the racing line worn dark through a long banked turn.

Motorsport tipping

Six championships, one set of mechanics, because nobody races head to head.

Formula 1, Supercars, NASCAR, IndyCar, MotoGP and Formula E have nothing in common except the thing that matters: a grid, a finishing order and no opponent to pick against. Predict the podium instead, and the same competition runs all six.

Six series, and the shape of each one.

What they share
There is no home team and no second side. Every result is an order of finish, so every competition here is a prediction rather than a pick. Once that is true, one scoring engine covers all six.
Formula 1
Twenty-four rounds expected in 2027, each built as practice, qualifying and race. Six sprint weekends in recent seasons, with Formula 1 signalling more of them from 2027. Points run 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 to the top ten.
Supercars
Australia's multi-race championship, and the outlier on this page. The 2025 season ran 34 races across 13 rounds: Sprint Cup rounds carrying two or three races each, the enduros at The Bend and Bathurst carrying one long race, and a three-round Finals series cutting ten drivers to four.
MotoGP
Twenty-two grands prix in 2026 across five continents. Every round carries a Saturday sprint over half distance paying 12-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, plus a Sunday grand prix paying 25 down to fifteenth. From 2027 the bikes drop to 850cc and ride-height devices go.
NASCAR Cup Series
Thirty-six points races: twenty-six in the regular season, then a ten-race playoff that cuts sixteen drivers to four by the finale. The Clash and the All-Star Race sit outside the points, so decide whether your competition counts them.
IndyCar
Seventeen races across ovals, street circuits and road courses in a single championship, including a Milwaukee doubleheader that puts two races on one weekend.
Formula E
Built around double-headers. From 2026/27 the two races at one venue are deliberately different: a thirty-minute E-Prix Unleashed on high downforce and a forty-five-minute E-Prix on low downforce, both paying full points on the 25 to 1 scale.
Attrition
A retirement is a normal outcome in all six, not an exception. Contact on the opening lap can remove three podium contenders before anyone's prediction has had a chance to be right.

What a race weekend looks like as a competition.

  1. The round arrives with every session attached.

    Practice, qualifying, sprints and races come through from the live data feed with their own times and their own lock countdowns. A Supercars round shows its real race count, a MotoGP round shows both the sprint and the grand prix, and a Formula E double-header shows two separate races.

  2. Participants predict positions instead of picking a side.

    Top three in order is the spine of it. Around that go pole, fastest qualifier from a nominated team, first retirement, or a head to head between two named drivers. Each one is a configurable prediction category rather than a win or lose tip.

  3. The classification posts and the leaderboard moves.

    Results score against whatever categories you configured, per race rather than per weekend. Overall standings, group standings and the round recap all follow without anyone entering a finishing order by hand.

One difference between these series actually matters.

Five of the six are structurally identical: one race, one classification, one set of predictions. The exception is the round that contains more than one race, and it is where most motorsport competitions get their scoring wrong.

A Supercars round is not one race, and scoring it as one is the classic mistake.

Sprint Cup rounds carry two or three races across a weekend, which is how thirteen rounds produced thirty-four races in 2025. If your competition takes one set of predictions per round, a three-race weekend is worth the same as a single Bathurst 1000 and two thirds of the racing scores nothing. Take predictions per race instead, and a Supercars season becomes thirty-four scoring moments rather than thirteen.

Multi-race weekends are not only a Supercars problem.

Formula E is built on double-headers, and from 2026/27 the two races at one venue run different formats and different lengths while paying identical points. IndyCar puts a doubleheader at Milwaukee. Treat the race as the unit of scoring everywhere and every one of these handles itself. Treat the weekend as the unit and each series breaks in its own way.

Sprints are a second result, not a second race.

A Formula 1 sprint and a MotoGP sprint both produce their own classification and their own reduced championship points. Score them as a separate round at reduced value, mirroring the way the championship itself pays them. Score a sprint identically to the main race and MotoGP weekends quietly become worth double, every single round, for no sporting reason.

Podium in order, with partial credit, is what makes it playable.

Full points for the right driver in the right position, partial points for the right driver in the wrong one. That one rule is why somebody who watches two races a year stays in the competition: getting two of three roughly right still scores, so nobody is out of it after round two.

Qualifying gives you a second deadline, and a second decision.

A pole or front-row category locks on Saturday while the race locks on Sunday, which is a second moment of engagement in the same weekend and a second reminder to send. On a twenty-four round calendar that is worth real participation. It is also twice the messaging, so decide deliberately rather than enabling it because you can.

Retirements decide your leaderboard more often than pace does.

One incident at turn one removes every participant who had that driver on the podium, simultaneously, before the race has meaningfully started. Partial credit softens it. A bonus category such as first retirement or whether a safety car appears gives the round somewhere to go after the front of the grid is scrambled. Most organisers configure both.

Two championships run off the same results.

Drivers and teams are scored in parallel in every series here. That is two season-long prediction markets from one calendar, and a second leaderboard that stays live even for people who have lost touch with the first.

Formats that suit a sport with no head to head.

Podium prediction

Top three in order, every race, with partial credit for the right driver in the wrong place. The default shape of a motorsport competition and the one most people already understand.

Single-event competitions

One race, one set of predictions, one winner. The Australian Grand Prix, the Bathurst 1000, the Daytona 500 or the Indianapolis 500 each work as a complete competition for an audience that turns up for that one weekend and nothing else.

Driver head to head

Nominate two drivers and predict which one finishes ahead. It reintroduces the binary the sport does not naturally have, which makes it the easiest motorsport format to explain to a footy audience.

Championship predictions

Lock in the drivers' and teams' championship order before round one and score it at the end of the year. One decision in February that stays live until the finale.

Playoff and finals brackets

NASCAR cuts sixteen drivers to four across ten races. Supercars cuts ten to four across three rounds. Both are elimination trees, and both run as a bracket rather than as tipping.

Why run your motorsport competition on Fanzava.

All six series are on the live data feed.

Formula 1, Supercars, NASCAR, IndyCar, MotoGP and Formula E. Sessions, grids and classifications arrive automatically, with the real race count for every round, so a three-race Supercars weekend is three races and a Formula E double-header is two.

Prediction categories, not a forced head to head.

Scoring is configured per competition, so a motorsport competition is built as a set of prediction categories rather than bent into a two-team format that does not fit the sport.

Run one series or run the calendar.

The same hub holds a Supercars season, a Formula 1 season and a one-off Bathurst competition side by side, each with its own scoring and its own leaderboard. Between these six series there is a race almost every weekend of the year.

Your logo, your colours, your domain.

White label on every paid plan. Pro and above run on a custom domain with a custom email sender, so a global sport reaches your audience's inbox from your brand.

Questions motorsport organisers ask.

Can one competition cover more than one series?
Yes. They share their mechanics, so the same prediction categories work across all six. You can run each series as its own competition inside one hub with its own leaderboard, or build a combined motorsport competition that scores every round of every series onto a single ladder.
How do you score a Supercars round with three races in it?
Per race. Take a set of predictions for each race rather than one for the weekend, which is how thirteen rounds become thirty-four scoring moments. Score the round as a single unit and a three-race Sprint Cup weekend ends up worth the same as a single Bathurst 1000, with two thirds of the racing counting for nothing.
How should sprint races be scored?
As a separate result at reduced points, mirroring the championship itself. A Formula 1 sprint and a MotoGP sprint each produce their own classification. If you pay them the same as the main race, MotoGP weekends become worth double every round, and the people who work that out first will win your season.
What happens when a driver retires on lap one?
It costs everyone who had them on the podium at once. Two settings soften it, and most organisers use both: partial credit for correct drivers in the wrong positions, and a bonus category such as first retirement or a safety car prediction so the round still has somewhere to go.
What does it cost?
Free for up to 25 participants with no credit card. Starter is A$39 a month for 100 participants, Growth A$65 for 250 and Pro A$105 for 500, all in Australian dollars including GST. A single-race competition around Bathurst or the Australian Grand Prix can run entirely on the free plan if your field is small.
