RD Formula Manager - Season 5

[Jimlaad43]

4 moves in 1 lap. Nice job there Nick.

 

[Tim.E]

OMG 4th! Best result so far for us. Get in there Michael, great drive.

 

[kedy89]

Bam, 3rd consecutive podium lockout!

 

[Milos]

Not too bad in the end, should have enough money for what I need

An Aston Martin engine? Gonna need quite a bit there mate...

 

[Sasha Jednak]

That was almost perfect, but we couldn't avoid that dnf. Well done to all survivors, is this most finishers on wet race so far?

 

[Tim.E]

Nothing, wrong post.​

 

[the_sigman]

Pleased with that, shame we couldn't get ot the finish with both cars

...​

 

[Tim.E]

Yeah whoops

The previous one was also 18 finishers. But it was not %100 wet as much as this one. So French GP might have set a record indeed.

Calculating prize money and championship points now. Update soon.

@kedy89 - Out of 160 maximum points, you collected 150 with Peterson. What is your secret?
@Timmieturner12 - A brilliant result for the team! Will this morale boost bring podiums in the 2nd half of the season?
@TTupsi - Silvestro was heavily criticized after the race for her collisions. Do you think a podium was possible without those incidents?
@Sasha Jednak - Ricciardo came 6th for a 3rd consecutive time. Is this the real place of the team in the performance order? Or some other factors played a part?
@Aidan Keranen - Another race in which we see your drivers suddenly got a boost in the final laps. Why is this happening?
@Jimlaad43 - Is it true to say that safety car sort of ruined Heidfeld's chances of a higher position finish? Also, what do you think about the last lap in which Heidfeld dispatched 4 cars ahead?
@Manolis Sigoulakis - You could not double score in this season so far. What are the problems with the team? How will you bounce back in the second half of the season?
@Milos - No one expected ARTs to be so far off the pace here. The sole reason is setups, or are there more?
@rubaru - Both of your cars came to finish. And you completed the first 5 races of your career. What changed since the 1st race? What are your plans for the 2nd half? New suppliers maybe?
@airutonpurosuto8912 - Enjoy your holiday...
@Azabadaza - It was a really nasty race which you ended too early. What went wrong? And some sources indicate that the team is in serious financial problems. If that is correct, how will you find suppliers?

-------------------------------------------------

ALL supplier contracts are ended. Please get new tyre/engine suppliers for the 2nd half of the season.
Marketplace is OPEN!

-------------------------------------------------

Formula Renault Feeder Series are open for registrations. If there are 5 managers at least, the series will open in a new thread in the Forum Games section. We can't have these both in this same thread as it will make it too messy. The rules for the series are in the first post of this thread.

-------------------------------------------------

Shady Engineer winks at you all.

"Hello cutie pies, what about some extra performance for your cars? For absolutely no price!"
-------------------------------------------------

Ronnie is just an insanely good driver. On top of that we have a decent car and a more than decent engine. The whole package makes it.


Enter Formula Renault - 300cr (drivers Ryan Briscoe, Nico Hülkenberg, Justin Wilson)
Will edit this post later with the rest of the purchases.

Edit: actually, see my latest post

 

[Sasha Jednak]

@Sasha Jednak - Ricciardo came 6th for a 3rd consecutive time. Is this the real place of the team in the performance order? Or some other factors played a part?

I think that it is even worse, without retirements and dry race I would expect top 10 finish but far from top 5.

Applying to Renault series, I will post all details with buys in the next days.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

I'll give a proper reply and additional buys later, but I am stating my intention to race in the Formula Renault series too

 

[TTupsi]

@TTupsi - Silvestro was heavily criticized after the race for her collisions. Do you think a podium was possible without those incidents?

I think so, yes. Simona was fast today despite not being able to challenge BRTs. I do think however that she was faster than Schumacher and on par with Alonso. Safety cars helped too as we were very far back before the first caution.

BUYS (3900cr)

Enter Formula Renault (300cr)
Drivers: Louise Aitken-Walker, Sanna Pinola, Ellen Lohr

Audrey engines, Goodyear tyres (600cr)

[Jimlaad43]

@Jimlaad43 - Is it true to say that safety car sort of ruined Heidfeld's chances of a higher position finish? Also, what do you think about the last lap in which Heidfeld dispatched 4 cars ahead?

We're just getting screwed over by the bloody rain that seems to fall everywhere we go.

[Milos]

Erm, I honestly didn't expect the setup to be as bad as it was, rather disappointing effort out there.

(damn, now with the FR thing I don't have enough money for what I want! )

Change sponsor to F-V
Resign with Bridgestone (400)
Research for next season (350)
Engine Upgrade - Speed (500)
Enter Formula Renault (300) - drivers: Jules BIanchi, Sergio Perez, Karun Chandhok
And this leaves me exactly 100cr in debt, which will be recovered through contracts somehow

Engine contracts:
Instant payment:
Jawz: 100
Canon: 50
Nitro: 250

Post-race payment:
none

Thought making debts is only allowed for supplier buys? Assuming you'll get engine contract money after the race.

 

[Milos]

Assuming you'll get engine contract money after the race.

Not sure on the after the race bit, but the guys are paying enough to cover the debt in this marketplace, so there should be no debt in the end, unless it's after the race as you say

 

[Aidan Keranen]

I swear it was after the race
