1980 Classic GP Manager

[Milos]

Shadow will be back for more with Prost on board once again. The double podium proves that we will be stronger next season.

or it just proves that Arrows can't finish a race

Staying with Lotus

 

[William Néron]

Brabham's still here

 

[Diehl]

This season was pretty bad for Team Rebaque, but I'll stay for the next season!

 

[TTupsi]

I'll take Fittipaldi if possible

Cool, it's a great choice!

I'll create the conversation soon so you don't miss on off-season development

 

[TTupsi]

Ok so there will be no season review this season either. It was difficult to find time to finish it but I intended to do it today. Come here and find out the draft doesn't exist anymore. ALWAYS write long essays in Word/Notepad/any other software of your choice, never in browser. You shall learn from by elementary mistake.

Anyway, the budgets have finally been updated with championship prize money. Here's a list of what each team received:

1. Ferrari - 12000cr
2. Williams - 10500cr
3. Tyrrell - 9500cr
4. Arrows - 9000cr
5. McLaren - 8500cr
6. Shadow - 8000cr
7. Fittipaldi - 7500cr
8. Ligier - 7000cr
9. Brabham - 6500cr
10. Lotus - 6000cr
11. Renault - 5500cr
12. Alfa Romeo - 5000cr
13. Wolf - 4500cr
14. Ensign - 4000cr
15. Rebaque - 3500cr
16. ATS & Osella - 2750cr each

OFF-SEASON DEVELOPMENT is now happening!

Please submit your development plans for the winter break in our discussions!

You all have 9 development tokens to spend either on a new chassis or your current chassis. If you wish to build a new chassis, you must pay 2500cr in designing costs before using the tokens.

If you wish to develop your current chassis, you can divide the tokens between performance and reliability development as you wish.

Note! If you are building a new chassis and the chassis in completed before all tokens have been used, I will inform you and ask how you wish to spend your remaining tokens.

Feel free to ask anything!

The off-season development market is open! You have exactly two weeks to make/modify your investments.

In other news, ENSIGN has folded and will not take part next season if a replacement manager isn't found before the end of off-season development market.

RENAULT's participation as a team is still in doubt. Team manager @Costello hasn't been seen for a while and has been given two weeks to confirm his team's participation next season.

FITTIPALDI manager has stepped aside but a replacement has already been found.

Some drivers have announced their retirement from the sport, most notable being the 1976 World Champion James Hunt and a multiple race winner Clay Regazzoni. Both drivers have struggled lately in the minor teams and have decided to call it a day after drives in the top teams have been hard to come by. Other drivers to retire are Jean-Pierre Jabouille, Renzo Zorzi, Emilio de Villota, Harald Ertl.

 

[Milos]

Renzo Zorzi, Emilio de Villota

hmm both my old drivers are retiring
farewell guys

 

[oorjit07]

Uhm, I hope i'm not to late, but i'd like to manage toleman for the next season.

 

[Millsy24]

Osella confirm that manager Daniel Harvey has left the team after totally failing to meet any of the objectives set at the start of the season

 

[Costello]

Yeah I'll stay

 

[Andy 'Mars Bar' Graham]

Osella confirm that manager Daniel Harvey has left the team after totally failing to meet any of the objectives set at the start of the season

How ambitious were your targets?

You are everything but late! Toleman however will join at the start of 1981 so no off-season dev for you ☺

 

[Millsy24]

very ambitious as it turns out

"finish a race" was the main one, didn't even start one

 

[oorjit07]

Toleman however will join at the start of 1981 so no off-season dev for you ☺

Probably a good thing as i'm new to his

 

[Milos]

Probably a good thing as i'm new to his

look at Osella and ATS this season. No it's not

I'd rather choose an already existing team if I were you tbh

 

[TTupsi]

look at Osella and ATS this season. No it's not

Well, those were run pretty poorly (no offence to anyone). One can't ecpect results without developing the car.

Reading the rules and understanding there is no income during the season is key

 

[Millsy24]

It's pretty difficult to develop when you have no money

 

[Milos]

told ya you should've went for Zunino instead of Zorzi

 

[Andy 'Mars Bar' Graham]

Zunino worked a treat for Wolf
