saving this for later use

also please don't reply just yet i have a third post i need to send

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Hi! Okay we're doing this.

Where we are at currently: We need 11 teams. I don't even care about drivers right now it's teams that are important.
From S5 we have the following: @Azabadaza @Jimlaad43 @Márk Lintner @Milos @Lesley Buurlage @kedy89 @Aidan Keranen/@Tim.E @oorjit07 @Carlitox @Matthew Allington @Matt
So everyone here gets first choice on a team. Myself and Tim had come to an agreement to hand over team management to my understanding, so if Tim wants it he's got it, if not I'll likely take it on again.

Ruleset: needs some small updating but we're basically running same as Season 5 at this point with little changes forecast, outside of the 2 races per marketplace. Additional changes or omissions of things likely to happen (looking at test drivers etc).

Calendar: Going to just make one up with some of the more popular tracks/countries that we've had, there will be no vote this season. Fingers crossed for S7.
In terms of start date, I'm aiming for the end of August or start of September.

Car models: I'm considering all shapes are open, however teams that used a model in S5 have first choice on using it again. We'll be locking the shapes between 1991-ish and 2021, the new models won't be accepted. Any questions feel free to ask.

Signing drivers: considering that I'm allowing team managers to drive for any team this season, I'm not hugely worried about teams not having drivers just yet. If teams have signed one or even two drivers, well we'll deal with that as best we can. Hopefully the most important thing is to get 11 teams on the grid first.

I think there's other stuff but yeah, all that will be brought up when necessary.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Let's go.
DTK Racing will be back with a bang!!!

 

[James McNamara]

Leggo boiz, here to defend 2KF1's title once more.

And bring back the banter of the commentary box.

 

[Márk Lintner]

Falcon Motorsport is back Generic F1 2018_RSCT for the shape and black red as colors

 

[Milos]

ART is in with @Millsy24 and @Meff28s as drivers,
assuming other teams are able to find at least one driver.

gonna reserve 2011 Red Bull shape
Dark blue main, light blue secondary

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

NLE is in, would have loved to use the F1-75 but seems that idea is out of the window

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Yeah sorry, but I remember one season people were asking about using old Indycar models and the different tyres were likely going to affect things
I'm not 100% sure on 2017-2021 models even but we'll give it a go

 

[Márk Lintner]

2017 cars I think were used in s5 as I remember

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Yeah a few were, I don't remember any big issues with them

 

[Márk Lintner]

I tried to contact people from before to be drivers (it seams many people left), but we dont have manager cars filled, so Im not that positive that we will have 22 people to have all manager and for every team +1 driver.... It was hard before to get 10 people to play a game on the forums

 

[Benutzername]

Hello there

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

Yeah sorry, but I remember one season people were asking about using old Indycar models and the different tyres were likely going to affect things
I'm not 100% sure on 2017-2021 models even but we'll give it a go

I honestly already forgot the tyre changes, that makes sence

 

[Márk Lintner]

Falcon announces @Benutzername as a driver

 

[rubaru]

I'd like to offer my services as a rookie driver, if anyone cares to take that risk. Not quite up for managing a team at the moment.

it's a fair call, gives you an idea on how to work everything

 

[Muffin OCE]

Hey guys! Im happy to win you guys a championship if anyones willing to take me. Cheers

 

[Jimlaad43]

Will money and contracts or anything like that carry over from the last time for teams/drivers, or is this a good chance to just do a soft reset and treat this as a reboot with historical records and only records still carrying over?


DTK Racing will use this opportunity to announce @rubaru has joined this one-time Constructors Championship winning outfit. The team has the most Race Wins, Points and Wins in a Season in Formula FG history. We hope that rubaru can continue to add to this legacy!

First tag wave.
Hi all firstly tagged people . As I saw that you are making content for a management game and this is a multiplayer forum management game, where there will be commentated races on youtube, I wanted to invite you to be a manager of a team or a race driver. You can read the rules in the first post on this thread. If you want to see the older seasons, you can find them with the same name on the Racedepartment, or if you search it in google.
