F1C 99-02 NASCAR Manager - Pre Season Testing

[Milos]

i said those were just ideas, it wasn't anything that will happen for sure @lesleyyb @Aidan Keranen

I'm still not sure about Steven's idea, should I implement that in S1?

 

[Aidan Keranen]

the actual structure of the sponsors could work for sure.
but again, where we are making our own liveries for our own teams, it seems a bit silly to be given sponsors simply because they've been in NASCAR.
that is just my opinion

 

[Milos]

We'll see about everything, still a lot of time till the start of the actual pre-season.

Btw do you guys like the template?

I know it's a bit pixelated, but I tried a higher-res version, but the edges weren't the same

 

[mystaaRS]

Yes its a good OSD

May be just the Bronze color more Brownie to be more different thaht the gold one. For now both look similar

Now?

I removed the "points" thing, as it was kinda useless

 

[mystaaRS]

Alright, but the Bronze one is still not distinguished (different) enough from the Gold

How about now?
EDIT. Now I downloaded the colors online, if this is not good enough, I will kill myself

 

[mystaaRS]

Now its better

 

[Joel]

Looks awesome

I'm not a huge NASCAR fan but... Why not play it too?

Manager name: Pablo Diehl
Team name: Spitfire Motorsports (Yeah, the same of the another game)
Drivers:

Currently have no place left in my brain to give another game space. Touring and F1 careers occupy enough place

Seriously tough: I will join when i have some really large time to do my team planning.

@Steven Poirier your drivers

Also, I have looked a bit more into NASCAR rules, and I saw the points are awarded like:
1st: 47
2nd: 42
3rd: 41
4th: 40
...
36th: 8

Led a lap: 1
Led most laps: 1
(I can actually check these things)

Non-finishers will get 0 points

So even if you do have really bad luck, you still score points
(unless you DNF every single race...)

Test #2 (didn't use the new templates yet, as I didn't even start to put the new names in the game
PRACTISE 1:

PRACTISE 2:

QUALIFYING:

RACE: (results are much less like the grid, just due to a big crash on lap 33)

 

[Milos]

I can guarantee nobody started working on their team liveries yet

Well, good. The templates aren't actually 100% the same. They are just similar. If you already started working on the Chevy, then just keep working on the Chevy. About others, who didn't start work yet, download this

And DON'T DO ANYTHING YET!!!
When I start entering the driver/team names in the game, I will let you know on what car livery do you need to paint. I will start entering it when I get more entries for the actual game.

 

[Milos]

I decided to let you guys choose your manufacter instead. But I am going to limit the list to:
5 Chevys
2 Pontiacs
4 Dodges
5 Fords

As you might see, that's a total of 16 teams. But we have 17. There's 1 team that needs to have 1 car of Ford, and 1 car of Chevy, so I will be that one

Don't worry about a loss of performance, all cars have the Chevy performance. And whatever the manufacter you choose, you need to paint your cars on that template

 

[TTupsi]

Ford for me.

 

[Deleted member 161052]

Chevy for me.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

seeing that Pontiac were so often selling Holdens, Pontiac please
