Power's Great Lakes dominance moves him closer to championship If Will Power finally wins his second IndyCar championship, he'll have the state of Michigan to thank. After posting a win and a third-place finish in the Belle Isle doubleheader in June, Power won Sunday at Michigan International Speed...

I just posted the livery chart to the Discord. I honored every request I got. In other cases, I went with some kind of color combination used by the actual teams. For some reason, the picture won't post here, but let me know if you want any changes. I'm planning to run the Willow Springs test on Mon...

The current plan is for there to be three preseason tests. After each test, you can buy two points of chassis/car upgrades. Engine upgrades will come from the supplier. The first test will be held at Willow Springs Raceway in about a week, so let me know if you want to use any drivers other than you...

Here are the wiki profiles of my two fictional drivers I'm using: https://formularejects.com/wiki/John_Davis https://formularejects.com/wiki/T.K._Wolf Oh, that's right - I have a set of ratings for John.

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I have an 800-driver database mod for Motorsport Manager that I'm using (with some adjusting) to rate RL drivers - it basically goes from Max Verstappen to Danica Patrick (retired Danica, not in her prime), so I can use the descriptions of the fictional drivers to...

Canada Brings Power Closer To Second Title Will Power must wonder if he'll ever win a second IndyCar championship. After all, 2019 was the sixth time he's gone into the season's final race with the points lead. He's come up short in five of the six, winning his only title in 2014 - a year he clinch...

Power, Newgarden Dominate Detroit Josef Newgarden and Will Power are threatening to turn the 2020 IndyCar season into a two-car race. Power won Saturday's race in the annual doubleheader on Belle Isle, then finished third on Sunday, while Newgarden finished second in both races, one week after a se...

If you want to hire reserve or test drivers, you may do so. Reserve drivers cost $1/race to remain on standby and get their normal per-race salary if used in a race. Test drivers cost $1/test and gain the equivalent of one race worth of experience for every two tests. A young driver could get a dece...

I'm building the database for Lights to Flag, so if you are using a fictional driver for your team, I need their age as of 1 March 2021 and a brief rundown of their experience, strengths, and weaknesses.

OK, it is time for the dreaded Driver RNG round. With 29 teams each picking at least three drivers, we're bound to have a couple of dozen conflicts, so ... what? Really?

Dixon's Milk Just As Sweet The Second Time Around Scott Dixon passed Josef Newgarden with three laps remaining and held on to win his second Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.

From Buddy to Esteban Former Indy 500 winner Buddy Lazier is back on top of the pylon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This time, though, it is the last place he wants to be. Lazier's best lap on Fast Friday - 225.37 mph - would have put him second on Thursday's timesheet, but with the engines b...

We need WRT's bids, especially since you are using some fictional drivers, and Hermann's driver choices and bids.

Thus far, we don't have any significant bid issues. As badly as Marco Andretti is doing in the 2020 IndyCar series, IMSA might sound great to him.

Ladies' Night At The Brickyard Ashley Cassidy setting the fastest speed in Thursday's Indy 500 practice session isn't a huge surprise.

Formula 1 Comes Back To Indy The Formula 1 series will probably never return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway - the memories of 2005 will never be erased.
