RD Formula Manager - Season 5

[Omer Said]

So, with this being my first time trying this out, tell me...what do you need to know right now, and which parts should I put in a PM vs. on the forum?

Team name+2 colors for your team is enough to start. Then you need to send me your driver bids via PM.

 

[rubaru]

My team name is Ram F1, based on my Alma Mater Colorado State University.
The car is Dark Green, font is Gold. Like this.......

PM with driver selections forthcoming

@Omer Said my budget should be 16050, I think you forgot about pole and fastest lap rewards for the last race.

Also did the tyre characteristics stay the same? Thought they'd change.

Their values are different. Actually considerably different. But Pirellis are fragile once again. Yes it seems i forgot pole+FL, thanks for informing. You have 16050.

Welcome @rubaru

@Omer Said can we get only one driver and then search for young talent. So we can use that young driver as 2nd driver?

Yes, you can bid for only 1 driver instead of 5 to get only one driver.

I'm back!

Back. Same details as last year.

The number of sign ups drop season by season. The huge and complicated first post must be scaring people off.

These games need so many rules though to make them successful, fair, competitive, fun and to close the enormous amount of loopholes we manage to find.

It's not your fault, you're trying to do as much as you can. Still the core of the people here keeps on playing it, so if you look at that you know you're doing a fantastic job!

Still more teams than F1

 

[Omer Said]

Ony @TTupsi left to send me the bids. He was last online on Thursday, hopefully he will come soon.

Driver Line-ups are finalized!

The defending champion Peterson extended his contract with BRT as he became the most earning driver of the grid. Bellof also remained in the team.

Red Night extended Ricciardo's contract for this season, but Schumacher left the team. The German signed a flash deal with Jawz GP. Another German replaces him as Vettel signed up with Red Night. Jawz GP kept Hamilton in the team while Mansell resigned.

De Silvestro returned home as she signed a bountiful contract with Girl Power. And the team retains it's "all-girl" line-up as Mouton extended her contract. Lombardi was left without a seat.

Fangio left 2KF1 to join Apex Racing Team, while Szisz left DTK Racing to accompany the veteran. Hakkinen returned to 2KF1 with a spectacular car launch while the Australian team retained the services of Da Costa to partner him. DTK employed Patrick who had a misfortunate season last year, to accompany the team's first driver, Heidfeld.

Grip Racing, Canon Racing, Keranen Motorsports, Max Speed Racing, Thunderstorm Racing and Falcon Motorsports all retained their drivers and did no changes. There were rumours about Keranen Motorsports got into talks with Silvestro and Schumacher, but they resulted in nothing.

The newcomer team, Ram F1 signed up Trulli and Sato. A fresh line-up for a fresh team.

Shockingly, Alonso was left without a seat. The Spaniard commented, "I could not agree with ART on terms of payments. Had some talks with BRT, but they opted for Bellof in the last minute. Not much else than these... I am really disappointed and looking forward to some new chances."

For anyone interested, we're offering engines at various price structures, starting at 150CR per car per race for 5 races, send a PM if you want to discuss further alternative pricing.

@Omer Said, shouldn't I get Heidfeld for half price because he was my driver last season?

Nah I thought your bids just had +600CR added to them. So effectively your bid was 3100CR.

500, it says in the picture.

such a shame nobody took Fernando, I definetly expected the offer to go high, as one of the more talented drivers, and due to last season hence why i didn't bother bidding myself
