AltF1 Turbo Era - 1982 - Ooh, Seven Is A Place On Earth
Thanks to pinkd56 for the title suggestion.

Harmony has blossomed in the paddock. United in the face of harmonic heartbreak, Formula One projects a sport marching into this new decade freed from the decadent dissent that once plagued it. However, as the wind wipes the blossom from the branches of the tree, Old Master Time and the smell of octane will seek to disrupt the status quo. They say in Heaven, only one can come first...

- Designer contracts are 1-year.
- Designers do not affect mid-season upgrades.
- You must pick one bonus and one penalty for your chosen designer. This cannot be changed after they have been hired.

Sponsors
- NEW: Sponsor tier goal payments have been updated with 1982 values.
- Sponsors provide money in three tiers in return for goals being achieved.
- Each team has one sponsor with three goals, Tier 1 goals offering the most money (and are the hardest to achieve) and Tier 3 goals offer the least money (and are the easiest to achieve).
- You may only target one tier at a time, even if your choices fulfill all three tiers. This must be stated.
- NEW: Tiers 1 and 2 have two goals to fulfil. To appease the sponsor, you must achieve both the performance and driver goal by the end of the season.

Chassis Upgrades
- The upgrade system has been altered. Instead of slots and tiers, you can make up to ten upgrades to your chassis in the areas of Grip, Weight, Drag and Handling
- Each upgrade costs exponentially more than the last.
- You can make 1 upgrade in each area between races, and 1 pre-season
- NEW: The upgrade ranges have been adjusted for 1982.

Drivers
- Drivers are paid up front for their contracted wages
- If a driver is sacked, you do not get repaid their wages. (Severance fee)

- NEW: All drivers start as Tier 2 pay drivers.
- NEW: The Pay Driver tiers have been slightly adjusted. Tier 1 drivers can be signed for 2 years, Tier 2 can only be signed for 1 year (unless given a paid offer), and Tier 3 drivers cannot be signed for the whole season.
- A pay driver may be offered a paid wage to double your odds of securing them in the RNG. However, this transforms a driver from a pay to a normal driver for the rest of their careers.
- NEW: I reserve the right to move drivers from a pay driver to a paid driver based on their success and/or storyline purposes.
- A RNG will be conducted once a driver receives an offer to see how much money they will bring for the season.
- If you wish to hire a pay driver for less than the full season (16 races), his/her money pot will be divided by 16, and then multiplied by the length of his/her contract.
- All pay drivers pay their money up front.
- If a pay driver is sacked, your forfeit the money they would have paid for the duration of their contract.

Penthouse Magazine wrote:Penthouse drops sponsorship from Tyrrell Racing

Following the recent announcement of this publication's replacement as title sponsors of the Tyrrell Formula One team by Systime, there was a period of uncertainty regarding the future of the relationship between the two entities. We can now announce that the sponsorship of Tyrrell Racing has ended following discussions with both Ken Tyrrell and the board of Systime.

This is not the end of our association with Formula One as a championship, however. We firmly believe that our readership is of the sort that is inherently attracted to the high octane world of motorsport, and we will continue to look for a team whose ethos matches ours.

Motor Sport Magazine wrote:Robert Kagan swaps Tyrrell for new challenge at Spartec

After finishing arguably his best season yet in terms of pace in a disappointing ninth place in the championship, questions were raised about Robert Kagan's future in Formula One. He has continued to be outpaced comprehensively by Harvey Jones, but we understand it's the BMW engine's unreliability scuppering most of his chances at top results that have shaken the Brit's confidence in Tyrrell.

The recent parting of Tyrrell with Kagan's long-time sponsor is understood to have sealed the parting of the driver with the team as well, despite Kagan securing his maiden victory (and Tyrrell's first in several years) at the German Grand Prix.

Motor Sport Magazine now understands that Kagan has finally accepted a long-standing offer to join Spartec, where he is due to replace Stephen South. It is expected that Penthouse will accordingly be the title sponsor of Spartec as part of a two-year deal.

With this news, Spartec can confirm we're going for a Tier 1 sponsor goal.

Drivers:
The driver market is now OPEN! The driver and pay driver lists are intended as a guide rather than a definitive list, so feel free to bid for those not listed.

The complete list of signed drivers can be found here: https://formularejects.com/wiki/1982_Al ... One_season

Drivers with a signed contract are listed in red on the spreadsheet.

Please also bear in mind some drivers are unable to be signed. View the Unavailable Drivers tab on the spreadsheet for more info.

Remember that the maximum driver contract length is 2 years.

Pay Drivers
Pay drivers are now in three tiers. Tier 1 drivers can be signed for the full 2 year contract, or just 1 year if you wish.
Tier 2 drivers can only sign for 1 season. The majority of new drivers will now debut as a Tier 2 pay driver.
Tier 3 drivers can only sign for a handful of races maximum. Some new drivers will debut as a Tier 3 pay driver.

NEW - You can ask as pay driver to increase the money they bring. This will be treated as a secondary RNG. Should they refuse, the contract will be cancelled.

Offering a pay driver a wage stays the same, this will dramatically increase your chance of signing them, and stop them from becoming a pay driver.

Designers have preferences toward teams, and are signed via RNG like drivers, except you cannot offer a designer more or less money than the value listed. They can be signed for a maximum of 1 year at a time. All teams must sign a designer to build and upgrade chassis.

You must select a bonus and a penalty for each designer you make an offer to. This cannot be changed if they accept your offer. Remember, that for double the wage you can get double the bonuses for one penalty.

All values apart from grip range are added to your chassis after construction.

The following teams have a mandatory designer:
- March: Robin Herd
- Lotus: Colin Chapman

Having discussed this issue via Discord PM, Miguel98 has opted to step down from managing March.

Therefore, SolaR765 is now the manager of March

As the deal was signed during 1981, Rover will continue to supply March with engines.

March need to confirm their sponsor tier goal, driver bids, and designer bids.

Renault shall offer 125k for Jean-Pierre Jarier for one year as a contingency bid.

Since Jarier has been released for contract after payment by Renault, Osella places the following bids for the open seat:

(We note to our sponsor that we did sign Jarier and thus have not broken the driver agreement of our Tier 1 sponsor goal.

We also accept Rover's arrangement for the 1983 engine deals due to attempting to sign Keegan unsuccessfully.)

After putting down the phone on Jonathan Palmer, Mr Chapman returns to his tea and biscuits with Ms. Wilson. Although they have just signed their contract, he politely asks if she can do the whole season?

Desiree Wilson accepts this offer.

With that, driver and designer signing is now complete. The current lineups can be viewed here: https://formularejects.com/wiki/1982_Al ... nd_drivers

The budgets on the spreadsheet have been updated.

Chassis

New chassis are constructed in just the same way as last season. Your designer adds their bonuses and penalties after chassis construction. You can either:
- Construct a brand new chassis
- Give your 1981 chassis a B-spec.
- 1981 chassis cannot be run without upgrading

NEW: For this year, you can delay your new chassis construction until the first round of the European season (Race 4, Imola).
NEW: You can be adventurous, for a 25% extra cost for that tier and more performance, or conservative for 25% less cost for that tier and less performance.
NEW: If you delay your chassis construction, you cannot sell your existing chassis until race 4.
NEW: If you delay your chassis, a temporary B-Spec will be constructed for no extra cost. Your designer bonuses will still apply.
NEW: I will roll the stats of delayed chassis now, but you will not find out these stats until race 4. You can learn your b-spec stats now though.

As always, the variables you need to know are:
- Grip: duh
- Build Quality (BQ): Inherent reliability of your car. 1 point = 1 rel
- Handling: Random Grip Range. 1 point = 100 RGR
- Drag: 1 point = -1 BHP
- Mass: 1 point = -1 grip

Chassis tier information is on the spreadsheet.

Sell Chassis
You have the option to sell your chassis to collectors for 10% of it's build value. This ONLY applies to chassis you have built yourself.
You cannot sell chassis to other teams.
Obviously, if you sell your chassis, you have to build or buy a new one.
You cannot sell your chassis and develop a B-Spec for 1981.
