Here's a collection of New Zealanders for anyone looking.

And for South Africa there are some which would be eligible in this list. Namely Ernest Geering and Arthur Mackenzie.

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

5 teams left, South Africa, Sweden, Northern Ireland, Wales and New Zealand. I'll now allow a third entry for those that want one and any left over from that I'll take on.

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

I believe Kunio Kaminomura can be used for Japan from 1957 onwards. Can't find any traces of Japanese drivers before then. As for Canada, Al Pease can in fact be used since according to his profile on here, he raced in many national series in Canada throughout the 50s. There's also some drivers refe...

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

I'm going to run Mexico and Colombia under Equipo Latino. Arcesio Paz will run for Colombia, while three drivers will share the Mexico car. Luis Leal Solaraes, Leo Almanza and Jesus Nava Gonzales.

7 more countries to fill.

Yes, just check the wiki for the entries.

Since interest seems to be slowing down, I'll allow up to two teams per member.

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

H'mm interesting that none of the F1 1950 top 5 have been hired by their countries. In that case it looks like it will be a more open season than I first imagined. This is F1Rejects! Fangio? Ascari? Farina? Pfft... Give me Claes, Manzon and B.Bira any day Speaking of rejects - these tracks for the ...

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

Automovil Club Argentino (A.C.A.) will run the Argentinian entry of José Froilán González. If we are allowed two drivers per team, Alfredo Pián will race in a second car. Samster, while the series having it's own wiki was a god idea, don't you think it would be a better idea to put the wiki entry o...

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

I take offence at a Bathurst 1000, especially since it would have been the 500 back then and wasn't even held at the Mountain until 1963 This can be our own version of the event taking place before the real-life event moved there. I might change the name of our's to the Panorama 1000 to avoid confu...

Re: A1GP 1950 Onwards

I'll allow one team per member for now. Depending on how much interest this gets I might allow up to two per member.

Oh and also come up with a team name. This will be shown as the team running the franchise. So like Super Nova running Team New Zealand in the real A1GP series.

A1GP 1950 Onwards

I'm going to start up an offline league with the A1 Grand Prix concept starting from the 1950 season. I'll use NR2003 to run the races. You can pick a country from the entry list posted and nominate drivers for each race. This would take place alongside all of the non-fictional series. Drivers nomin...

Re: F1 Rejects Driver Ratings

Raw Pace - 6.5 Poor qualifier to begin with but great racer and even improved his qualifying when one-lap runs were introduced. But how much of that was due to Toyota running him on fumes in another one of their wacky strategies. Strategic Ability - 7.5 A strong driver in changeable conditions, Pani...
