I don't remember 'Sonic' games looking like that, either. Didn't it used to be that hedgehog with the blue hat?

I will like to pull out. I enjoyed the series, but I feel my choices were a bit short-sighted. No worries, and cheers for the £3.5 million; Alfa have big plans for that money, now . With Alfa Romeo newly-vacated, peteroli34 - former team boss at Renault - is next in the queue to join the series. He...

Team Management To get started, we'll need to assign managers to each team. So, I'd like last season's manager of each team listed below to state here whether they wish to continue managing their team, or leave the position vacant for someone else to take over: ⋅ McLaren - FantometteBR &...

Re-use of Previous Season's Chassis Re-use of your 1985 car is legal for 1986. Using a legacy chassis will result in an automatic halving of its performance ratings (with the exception of weight), and performance improvability. For example: VeryGoodExampleChassis: Downforce: 71%, which can be impro...

Teams may go into debt. Your lending limit is your starting budget. Any team that is in-debt to more than the amount of their budget at the start of the season (a starting budget of £7,500,000 means you may borrow as much as -£7,500,000) will be declared bankrupt and immediately disqualified from th...

Hello and welcome, to the second season of my virtual non-canon 1985 Formula One championship - F1 1985+! This season will be very much 'evolution', rather than 'revolution', with gameplay largely the same as 1984 . However, a few new features will be introduced - some of them requiring player resp...

Bio, I think you've managed to miss my D&T requests again. Doh~, sorry. I've added them just now, so I don't think anyone else will notice this. Luckily no harm done~! I think I missed your request because it was sculpted into a non-primary paragraph. In future could you separate the D&T se...

Alfa Romeo , Tyrrell , Spirit , and any other teams that want to perform D&T (or additional D&T) have plenty of time to do so, while I prepare all my nerdy files and charts for next season. In the meantime, though, I thought we'd have a little chitty-chat~ about changes and improvements you...

Whilst I agree with the implementation of this, I don't think you've added it correctly. It's too easily exploitable. I could, for example, use a couple of my D&T opportunities now to contract my team, thus gaining myself $1,360,000, and then expand it again for $700,000. I think you can see wh...

Well~, you can have as many as you want - the only restriction is your balance, of course!

Currently, you have £3.1~mil available, and your next D&T cost (which increases each time) is £1.1~mil.

Actually, a quick question - will it possible to keep 1984 cars into 1985?
