RD Formula Manager - Season 6

Spoiler: Next Lap

 

[Omer Said]

@kedy89 - Even with that problem, Hulkenberg leads the championship now. Is he your main title contender, or Ricciardo?
@Aidan Keranen - Alonso seemed furious getting out of the car. Does this end his title ambitions?
@TTupsi - Michele expressed her discontent with the double pitstops which "ruined her races so far" as she put it. What is your opinion on this subject?
@Tim.E - Schumacher keeps getting better results each race. But was a better result possible today?
@airutonpurosuto8912 - Are your cars water-powered? Where do they find that speed when it rains? For this exact reason, are you excited about the most probably rainy Belgian Grand Prix?
@rubaru - Six pitstops, but still in top 10. Is this the Aston Martin factor? Are you satisfied with the new engines?
@Azabadaza - Must have been a frustrating race. But double points finish is a good step in your development plans?
@The_Laskinator - What was the reason for going with hard tyres under monsoon conditions in the final lap?
@Slyfrequency - Your drivers pushed like crazy today as far as we could see. Are you testing the limits of your car?

TO ALL MANAGERS!
- Tyre supplier contracts are ended. Please pick your tyre suppliers for the last 5 races!

- CANON GP, KERANEN MOTORSPORTS and NITRO GP have no engine contracts for the last 5 races. Please sign new ones!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Renault will have a revolutionary new engine-unit for the next season. But they will not make it available to all managers. They will sell them for 25 credits per race to whoever conducts 4 tests for them before the end of this season.

- Season 8 will change the engine specifications completely. Engine reliabilities and fuel tanks will be the same at the beginning. Durabilities will remain as they are. Speeds will be decreased as well. But the current fastest will remain as the fastest, though with a very very smaller gap to the slowest engine. Sister teams are not eligible for this offer.

- Season 8 will see drivers losing half of their driver skills at the beginning of the season. (Instead of 5/1 as will happen in S7)

- Season 7 will have much more durable tyres as the current complaints from the teams are noted.

- Season 7 will have free practice sessions which will allow various developments and tuning.

- Season 7 will not have the "chassis upgrade for next season" item as the all teams will start Season 8 with 0 chassis levels.

- Season 7 will allow faster car repairs in the pitstops. However, the managers will still only be able to tell either "pitstop normally" or "pitstop with full repairs."

----------

MARKETPLACE is OPEN!
It will be closed on Tuesday night. Then the qualifying will begin.
The qualifying will end on Thursday night.
NO FURTHER REMINDERS WILL BE GIVEN!
Good luck to all managers!

@airutonpurosuto8912 - Are your cars water-powered? Where do they find that speed when it rains? For this exact reason, are you excited about the most probably rainy Belgian Grand Prix?

The reason for our wet speed advantage was because of the Michelin tyres. They have monsoons, they're best on wet speed, and both the team and the drivers think Michelin tyres were the right pick.

Canon Racing buys
Engines - Porsche 5 races (600cr)
Tyres - Michelin (300cr)
Tyre testing (400cr)
Engine testing (500cr)
Next year upgrade (300cr)
Qualifying upgrade (500cr)
[Remaining: 1200cr]

EDIT: Ditched Canon fuel upgrade

Nitro Grand Prix buys
Engines - Cosworth 5 races (100cr)
Tyres - Pirelli (300cr)
Engine testing (500cr)
Next year upgrade (300cr)
Sponsors change to F-W
[Remaining: 60cr]

@Tim.E - Schumacher keeps getting better results each race. But was a better result possible today?

Probably not after I made the mistake of going to inters where I should've gone to wets. Anyways this is a perfect result for the team and we'll be looking for some podiums in the second half of the season!

 

[The_Laskinator]

@The_Laskinator - What was the reason for going with hard tyres under monsoon conditions in the final lap?

erm, i think the pit crew messed up there, wrong tyres were put out for them and thats how that happened lol

 

[Aidan Keranen]

added BRT tyre choice to the buys.

@Azabadaza - Must have been a frustrating race. But double points finish is a good step in your development plans?

Yeah it is, but a higher finish was certainly possible today if it weren't for a few untimely spins and a poor day of strategy by myself. We'll certainly take the points though.

Buys:
$2000
Tyre contract: Michelin ($300)
+2 next year upgrade ($600)
+1 driver testing: Loeb ($800)
Remaining: $300

 

[The_Laskinator]

+1 durability
+1 chassis
max +1 technical

 

[Tim.E]

Jawz GP agreed to be supplied by the Lamborghini engines for the remainder of the season and will terminate their contract with Porsche with immediate effect. Costs are estimated at 100cr per race starting from the next round onwards.

Budget 1650:
+2 NY Upgrade (600)
+1 Driver Testing MSC (800)
Save the rest.

Engines should be paid 'before' the races. But you can pay him race-by-race as you wanted. 100 credits will be deducted now though.

 

[kedy89]

+2 NY Upgrade (600)

@Omer Said can we now buy 2 of these per market period?

 

[Tim.E]

@Omer Said can we now buy 2 of these per market period?

It says two of the same ones can be bought, and the description to the right doesn't mention one purchase max per marketplace. So I assume we can.

 

[Omer Said]

@Omer Said can we now buy 2 of these per market period?

Yes, 2 can be bought.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

okay...
this
changes
everything

 

[kedy89]

Yes, 2 can be bought.

Cheers, thought that maybe you just forgot to add the same restriction you had last season, to keep the gap for potential new managers smaller.

Added 1 more to the BRT purchases, with the engine deal income I should be able to afford it.
