Following the departure of their engine supplier, McLaren will be forced to use the lawnmower engines. Luckily, we've found a small family-run trading company in Peckham that are all too happy to supply us...

Enzo Coloni, enraged at no engine supplier whatsoever even though he picked three engines he'd like in the back of his car, is pulling out with immediate effect.

EDIT: He actually found out we have Mercedes. But he decided after a rise of farcical events that F1 would not be worth his time, and he pulled immediately and tried to get himself a CART team together.

Altough i'm happy by getting the Renault engines, it looks like the rng has not been fairly ran, so Ligier would request the rng would be ran again, but this time properly. Otherwise, Ligier will quit the series too.

Tyrrell are (controversially?) staying in F1, although the team knows that most results will be by default.

Sorry FA1L, but I have too much championships to participate, and this one is not going well. I even can't find the logic you are using to run this.

That is why Giancarlo Minardi puts his team for sale, which means I am also out of this.

OK. I´m absolutely sorry about the ridiculous management. Anyway, as we have 12 teams left, you can vote.

OPTION A: Run the series with 24-car fields, better management and new RNG´s.
OPTION B: Start from the beginning and try to get a better series.
OPTION C: Start a completely new series, perhaps from some other racing series?
OPTION D: Completely ban me from making ANY new series and already hand me the "Most Rejectful Alternative Series" trophy.

Since we have so many F1 series, I'd like to see option C. I'd love to see an alternate Moto GP or Indycar.

i thin option C would be the best decision. Everyone has deserved a second chance and as long as you learn from this experience i see not point in no letting you run another series :)

Grand Prix Journal wrote:Brabham joins out-of-F1 brigade, announces breakaway series

Motor Racing Developments, commonly known as Brabham, has announced that they will withdraw from Formula One effective immediately after a major spat over engines, leading to mass departure of Benetton, Williams, Zakspeed, Osella, RAM, Ferrari, RAM, Onyx, Coloni, and Minardi, despite Brabham winning the bid for Judd engines. The team management ruled that the "series is no longer in good health after this massive exodus". The Brabham entry has been vacated and the team also has demanded an investigation about the FIA rigging the engine auction. The team also apologized to their sponsors, International Business Machines Corporation, Capcom Co,Ltd, and Fondmetal, regarding Brabham's departure that affected their sponsorship deals.

Furthermore, the Brabham management also announced a breakaway racing series, that would "provide the ultimate freedom for teams to chose what they want". The breakaway series, tentatively dubbed Formula X, is currently under development.


There should/will be a new non-canon series after this post. :twisted:

But FC is located in 2014 and the first season will be in 2015. ;) A bit late for a brake away series isn't it?

OK. For the option C, I think IndyCars would suit best. You can now vote for:

YEAR (Any year after 1979)

REALISTIC OR NOT (Realistic would be more like real life, but if any reject fan absolutely wants a certain HWNSNBM to succeed, there is no problem with it :roll: )

Besides, if I actually run Formula X, the freedom itself won't that big though. You name a real team and two real drivers, plus engine, sponsors, and chassis, and RNG will determine the stats. That's it. ;)
(It will be run on xkoranate btw)

Good idea, especially if you locate it in 1989 or 1990 as a real break away series! :D

I am new to the forum and the PMMF as well, so I was willing to stick with this and see you make it work, but the time has probably come to consider Option C.

Before you start a new series I would recommend having a good, hard think about what the aim of the series is, how you intend to go about it, and outline your aim and planned method of running it in your opening post(s). I am the first to admit that I have neither the time or original ideas required to run a useful series myself, so feel free to take my advice for whatever you think it's worth. Good luck!

There's a lot more work than you expect in setting it up as well. I didnt fully appreciate just how much goes into running a game until trying it myself. Its good fun though when its done right :)

I think Tyrrell will take a gamble by joining Formula X as well, with their engines and sponsors being transferred over.
