RD Formula Manager - Season 4

[Milos]

that should be 5th place for me in the WCC. Only just beaten by Grip but also only just beaten 2KF1.
Not too shabby, but disappointing not to be the best Mercedes user by only 2 points.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Damn, gutted. And that should end our relationship with Renault, we thank them for the good times, wish them the best.

 

[Sasha Jednak]

Congrats Jim. Really bad luck for me with rain, just a lap after 2nd pitstop.

End of Season Budgets (applied Pr points to the budgets as there wont be a PR system for the next season)

@kedy89 - That was a really terrible race for you. But both titles are yours. You must have some big plans with that plenty of money.
@Sasha Jednak - A tremendous budget you have for the next year. How will you spend it?
@TTupsi - An abysmal final race for the girls. But now it is time to look ahead. What are your plans for the next season? Audrey engines still will be free?
@Manolis Sigoulakis - What a great final race for the team and a well-deserved 4th spot in the constructor's championship. Will you keep your partnership with Mercedes?
@Milos - Alonso's most pole positions record shows how an unlucky season past for ART. But there is a solid budget in the vault, what are your plans?
@Aidan Keranen - A massive budget awaits you for the next season. There are rumours that Hakkinen might make a return, are they true?
@Jimlaad43 - What a finale! You must be relieved to be able to break the devil's leg at last. Is it a sign of a greater next season?
@airutonpurosuto8912 - Canon Racing struggled, but accumulated a great sum of money in the end. You have been the most outspeaking manager of the paddock as you criticized things heavily at some points. Will you have a bigger impact in the next season?
@Timmieturner12 - A very tough season for the team, but we know that you are not someone giving up easily. Ready to bounce back next season?
@Joel @Márk Lintner - Hello folks. How is it going?

The next season thread will be opened very soon. Stay tuned. Thanks all for participating and making this season a great competition for all. See you!

@Timmieturner12 - A very tough season for the team, but we know that you are not someone giving up easily. Ready to bounce back next season?

Yes it has been a very tough season for us, with many unfortunate mistakes/failures happening to our car. Nevertheless we've shown some great spirit within the team and every member of our staff is still as excited as we were at the start of this season. Our budget for next season isn't that big but changes will be made in the future so we may have to struggle for one more year. As you stated giving up here is not an option. Thanks for the amazing season and see you in the next one!

@kedy89 - That was a really terrible race for you. But both titles are yours. You must have some big plans with that plenty of money.

More than terrible, that could've been another 1-2. For the plans I initially had I would've needed even more money, which I now don't have as this race brought nothing. As I expect that my drivers will demand way more salary next season I'll most likely have scrap these plans. Currently reworking the strategy, one interesting option has opened, but no final decisions have been made yet.

 

[kedy89]

Superb job moderating @Omer Said! Quick and reliable updates, always throwing in new ideas to keep the game exciting. Looking forward to S5

If only we got a more reliable engine, like - take Ferrari and Renault for example. We would have finished a few more races, but with Audrey we would finish even more.
My only criticism that I ever would criticise was the "first half" of this season having boring races with too many retirements.
And as I saved a ton of cash for next season's impact, it was something that I have instantly confirmed the previous round, and I've got more than 10000 cash along with BRT, Red Night and 2KF1. That's "Thug Life".
Anyway, that was a great season you moderated Omer!

 

[Aidan Keranen]

@Aidan Keranen - A massive budget awaits you for the next season. There are rumours that Hakkinen might make a return, are they true?

Don't know where you heard that from, but yes, our top priority leading into next season is to bring Mika back where he belongs. To see him leave hurt us, to see Tiger Tech drop out left us pretty much disgusted. So yes, that's our goal.
Otherwise we're happy with our financial position into next season, and are confident that we can improve next season.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@Jimlaad43 - What a finale! You must be relieved to be able to break the devil's leg at last. Is it a sign of a greater next season?

After overdoing it with the illegal aids at one of the races, we were expecting a much worse season end than we did have. Pirelli will never get money from me again, and thanks to @TTupsi for allowing me to take on Audrey engines when my budget said otherwise.

 

[Jimlaad43]

If the gap to Ricciardo had been bigger, we would have done some team orders to switch our drivers around. So Nick still hasn't won a race with DTK yet

 

[Márk Lintner]

THE SEASON ENDS...

@Joel @Márk Lintner - Hello folks. How is it going?

Not bad at all

 

[rubaru]

Looking forward to starting this game as a rookie in Season 5. Hopefully I catch the post when it comes live.

The Black-cat Award

• Goes to Apex Racing Team and Jawz GP for a season filled with misfortunate incidents. The honorable mentions are Canon Racing and DTK Racing.

well, at least someone agrees with that!

@Milos - Alonso's most pole positions record shows how an unlucky season past for ART. But there is a solid budget in the vault, what are your plans?

Nando's been amazing, however I think we'll sadly have to get rid of him.
Plans are to build a beast engine for 8k. Let's do that now actually, before the prices go up due to corruptiuon
edit: call it Blackcat, seems like a good name for an Apex engine

how original

 

[Milos]

how original

I was going to call it either I'VE_BEEN_BLOWN_UP or MLG, but after looking at the quote I found Blackcat was a perfect name for an engine, actually

nevermind actually, I got something mixed up

@Sasha Jednak - A tremendous budget you have for the next year. How will you spend it?

First thanks BRT for fantastic season, especially first 4 races, for sure the best time since I am in this game (except season 2).
Second, well done for everyone who participated in this season and special thank to Omer for another thrilling season.
Now of course we have got money injection helped by Ferrari giving old engines to BRT (it was internal deal). And this looks really good for next season, now we need to think twice are we preparing for S6 or again giving all and more in S5.

As for Thunderstorm, fantastic few races. Goal is to beat Keranen motosport only other sister team in the game. And with a bit more money than them we have a good chance. Now let's avoid that Mercedes next season.
