Talk:FIA Super Licence

message: The web address name of the article uses "Super License" but the actual article uses "Super Licence".  Can we at least have some consistancy here... which is it? Graybriggs 15:22, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The PDF of Appendix L to the ISC (linked from the article's external links section) has "Super Licence" and "Super licence". Majin Izlude talk 20:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Argh! It should be "license," not "licence." It's only referred to incorrectly in the PDF as "licence" b/c the FIA doesn't translate English properly. Azx2 19:17, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, no. In British English (in which this article is written), "license" is a verb and "licence" is a noun - see http://www.future-perfect.co.uk/grammartips/grammar-tip-license-licence.asp for further information. Also, regardless of the variety of English used in the article, when quoting a reference (including the reference title), the spelling should exactly match that used in the reference.

message: This article stub needs some additional verifiable, reliable sources (of which I'm sure there are thousands). I just edited the section on the cost of the super-license and added two additional references to the same BBC article that the section was basically plagiarized from w/o being appropriately cited. LAZY! Come-on, people! Don't plagiarize stuff and not give credit and pass off an entire BBC article as your own work... Azx2 18:33, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if we should be counting Piquet Jr's Formula E Championship win as 40 points. After all, FE does not count in the Super Licence points tally but the winning driver nonetheless is awarded a Super License for his efforts. Maybe he should be removed from the points tally and named separately as a Super License holder via Formula E. Lpjz290 (talk) 01:00, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

message: This article is specifically about the FIA Super Licence, which is granted to existing holders of a Racing Licence who additionally meet stipulated criteria. However, there is little detail about the Racing Licence, and apparently no separate article (that I can find – is there a more formal name for it?). Should there be:
*more detail about the Racing Licence here, or (as I think)
*a standalone article about the Racing Licence?

thread_title:  Racing Licence 

message: I'm missing some information in the requirements section. It seems to only explain the requirements for obtaining a Super License for the first time. But what happens after that? The Super Licence needs to be renewed every year. Is there any minimum performance in F1 requirement? And what happens if a driver completes a couple of seasons in Formula One, ends up without a drive and then gets a new offer, which would allow him/her to return into F1, two years later? Does the past F1 experience allow him to obtain a new Super Licence or should he have collected enough point in the lower categories in the mean time? To illustrate this with an example, would say Jean-Eric Vergne qualify to obtain a Super Licence allowing him to drive in 2017.Tvx1 14:59, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Jean-Eric Vergne would qualify only if the FIA judged he has recently and consistently demonstrated outstanding ability in single-seater formula cars, as he had no Super Licence during three seasons and has scored only 14 points with its three Formula E seaons (talk) 11:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requirements 

message: I updated the points table on october 9, based on the Appendix L published on 27 september 2017 on FIA website (  ).
Someone cancelled my update, based on this document : https://www.fia.com/file/61678/download?token=ICMRdbv4
This document is a bit older (21 september 2017) and lacks context. Looking at its name, it comes from the World Motorsport Council, and thus may be a working document, not a final version.
Should I update again the points table based on the officially published Appendix L ? SartMatt (talk) 11:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Points changes 

message: I quickly compared the point table in the article with the point table in source [2].
I can't find W Series in source [2]. Is there any source that the W Series champion gets 15 points?
I also cannot find the 5 points for the winner of the Macau Grand Prix in source [2].
What about MRF Challenge Formula 2000? According to source [2] you need 5 race weekends on 3 different tracks. MRF has only 3 race weekends (with 5 races each weekend).
