Undercut

Beat your group every race weekend

Undercut is a free private F1 prediction league platform for friends. Create an invite-only league, lock race and bonus picks before lights out, then settle the weekend with standings and post-race receipts. There is no anonymous global scoreboard and no real-money wagering. Independent fan product—not affiliated with Formula One or the FIA.

What is Undercut?

Undercut turns every Grand Prix weekend into a fair private competition. Your group already argues about podiums, safety cars, and who called it. Undercut locks those calls before the session, scores them against the real result, and hands everyone a clear receipt—so the rivalry is settled with numbers, not memory.

You create a private league, invite the people you actually care about, and play for in-app points and bragging rights. Core private-league picks, standings, and receipts are free. The brand promise is motorsport predictions with receipts: hard locks, shared rules, and post-race clarity—not a content farm and not a sportsbook.

League chat keeps race-weekend conversation beside the picks, deadlines, standings, and receipts. It is private to invited league members and is not a public social feed.

Public guides explain the format (how it works, scoring, private leagues, playbook, and circuit pick angles). Authenticated Race Hub and league hubs settle scores among people you invited. Private picks and membership are never published on public race pages.

Who is Undercut for?

  • Friend groups who want a private F1 prediction league without a public ladder
  • Family and flat chats that already predict every race
  • Discord and group-chat crews who want locked picks and a scoreboard
  • Fans who prefer race calls over budget-heavy fantasy team management

If you want Official-style public team management, that is a different product. If you want invite-only race picks with friends, Undercut is for you.

How scoring works (short)

The default model rewards how close your finishing-position picks are:

  • Exact position: highest points (5 by default)
  • Near misses: still score (points decay by how far off you were)
  • Fastest lap: +3 when correct
  • Bonus picks: extra weekend in-app points

Private F1 prediction leagues

A private F1 prediction league is an invite-only room where your group competes on locked race picks. No anonymous global ladder. Standings stay inside the league. Learn more on the private F1 prediction league guide (/private-f1-prediction-league) and private leagues (/private-leagues).

Why the name Undercut?

In motorsport, an undercut means pitting earlier than a rival to gain track position on fresher tyres. The product takes that spirit: commit early, make the call, gain the edge through timing—then prove it with receipts. Explainer: What is an undercut? (/what-is-an-undercut).
