Do I have to build a car?

FA1L · Post by **FA1L** » 26 Mar 2014, 11:45

As we are the Dodge works team, do we get free cars?

No you don't

OK. 1 tier 4 and 2 tier 8 cars, then.

Petty Enterprises:

Design a Tier 6 Chassis with focus on aero and reliability
Build 3 Tier 6 chassis (two race-spec and one spare)

Since you have to make a separate design for each tier it would actually be cheaper to just make 3 tier 4 at $4,550,000 ($3,500,000 for design plus $1,050,000 to build the three chassis). And you'd have three decent cars rather than just one and two slower ones. Your choice but it seems you've missed that the actual build cost of each chassis is only 1/10 of the one-off design cost.

Ah, ok. I think we can afford 4 tier 1 chassis, then.

Still need chassis build/purchase plans from the following.

Team Penske
Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Robert Yates Racing
Bill Davis Racing
Arnold Motorsports
Phoenix Racing
Victory In Jesus Racing
McGlynn Racing
Daytona Speed Inc.

I'm currently in the process of creating the liveries, in the mean time I have added a pit crew tier system, similar to the chassis build system. If you are worried about going into debt, you can regain the money via prize money ($10,000 for every point scored, $5,000 for qualifying but not scoring). The Points system will be revealed just before the Bud Shootout.

After I've completed the liveries which should be at the end of this coming week, I'll run the four Pre-Season Thunder tests held at Daytona, Charlotte, Richmond and Mid-Ohio. These won't cost you any extra money to attend, they are merely to give an idea of who is where. Upgrading won't be available till after Speedweeks.

That is $4,200,000 altogether ($3.5m for design, $700,000 for build). Are you sure you don't want to build a spare car? There's a strong chance you'll need one during Speedweeks.

Tier 12 chassis for Victory in Jesus. We'll go Chevy with Hendrick engines.

Morgan Shepherd wrote:Hell yeah, a Tier 12 chassis with ME, a registered trademark of Victory in Jesus Racing, at the wheel means domination!

I just couldn't keep that in.

I cannot do anything. I am sitting here waiting and nobody answers my purchase requests.

Phoenix would rather have 3 cars so Arnold can have the Gibbs chassis/engine if you want and Phoenix will look at other offers

V8fan12 · Post by **V8fan12** » 30 Mar 2014, 20:03

Richard Childress Racing will have four tier 1 pit crews ($2,000,000). Focus on speed and strategy.

PPI Racing will have one tier 1 pit crew ($500,000). Focus on speed and consistency.

Gibbs is not amused with the response from Phoenix. There's no need for you guys to have three cars when you can simply move one race entry and run two cars.

With that being said, Gibbs will build another car/engine combination and sell it to Arnold Motorsport for $1 million as agreed.

EDIT: Gibbs will have four tier 1 pit crews with a focus on strategy and consistency, while BAM will have two tier 2 pit crews with a focus on strategy and speed.

Yates will build four cars, one of which we will sell to Mcglynn.

Which tier?

As was posted several pages ago, Tier 1.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 31 Mar 2014, 10:17

Err, Gibbs sold the two engines to BAM for $450k each, not $350k each.

Samster · Post by **Samster** » 31 Mar 2014, 16:16

Well asides from what cars Phoenix and Arnold want to purchase I just need HawkAussie's plans for DEI.

We will also buy 3 Tier 1 pit crews for cars 2, 00, and 12, and 1 Tier 4 pit crew for the 92.

DEI
I would like to buy four tier 1 cars, four DEI engines and tier 1 for pit crews

Daytona Speed Inc.
We are also going to buy a tier 8 car in which we will give to Daytona Speed Inc aswell as a DEI Engine. We will be buying a Tier 6 pit crew for the team with our own money.

As I've said before, it would be cheaper to stick to designing one tier, so you might as well sell DSI another tier 4. Unless DSI themselves will design and build the Tier 8. Your choice.

Remember the initial design cost is one-off and each chassis you build is just an extra 1/10 of that cost. So to build five tier 4s would cost $3.5m for design and $1.7m for building the five chassis. If your doing two tiers then you'll have to spend the design cost for that tier too.

Other than that I just need to know whether Arnold will purchase the Honda that Penske have put up for sale or the remaining Toyota from Gibbs, then I can arrange the chassis plans for the teams still under my control.

I also still need pit crew plans from the following.

Arnold Motorsports
Bill Davis Racing
Chip Ganassi Racing
Victory In Jesus Racing
Wood Brothers Racing

And from FA1L I also need to know which races Scott Dixon will do in the #90, he has a maximum of 11 races with Bill Elliott doing the 12th at the Daytona 500. Remember that Dixon isn't approved for the restrictor plate races.

I also have completed 10 liveries of the 61 entries that will compete throughout the year so far. I'll upload pictures of the cars onto photo bucket for you to see once I'm done.

I´ve already posted the list, but I´ll change it a bit. Dixon will race at:

Samsung/Radio Shack 300
St. Pete 250
Honda 300
Tropicana 300
Auto Club 300

Scott will only race at 5 rounds, because we can´t afford more, because we already are in debt.

It was implied that we had purchased the Gibbs car....because I already asked for it, you know?

We are gonna throw caution to the wind here and go with a Tier 1 pit crew. We better f--in win at Watkins Glen or Sonoma...

Just to clear up, this is the schedule we're looking for Boris Said to do part-time with us;

Pocono
Sonoma
Daytona (Pepsi 400)
Watkins Glen

Well Salamander had offered to sell you a Honda since then but I'll take this to mean you'll take the Gibbs car.

And to be clear, are you entering Said in all road courses as you asked for in your first post regarding him or just the above?

Sonoma and Watkins Glen are the only 2004 road courses, are they not? If they aren't...then yeah, all the road courses. I just wanted to expand his schedule a little bit so he could run in a select few of his better oval venues.
