2016 F1 Rejects IndyCar Series season

I'd like to join this with DSR Racing. For now we are using only one car with Nikola Nikolov in it. Reynard 14i and Honda engine, please. The rest 60k we will spend for 2 pts per acceleration, cornering and reliability.

Well if entries are still open, would it be ok for Restov Racing to join?

If so, we will run young Australian Tim Horan and we will mate a Swift 026.c chassis with a Chevrolet engine. We will also buy 3 points each on acceleration and cornering, with nothing for reliability, cause who needs that?

Can I propose that a team's championship be created, but with only the points from the two best finishing cars for each team counting towards the title?

Please remove Aurico's third car, we are going to run only two this year due to lack of offers.

When is the racing going to start more out of curiosity than anything else?

When the 2016 RWRS season kicks off. F1RICS is now running in line with all other RWRS series, so dont expect any races until after the first F1RDS Winter Cup race. Which could be as much as a month away real time.

You can pass the time by coming up with press releases, and trying to stir up some controversy. That's always good for passing time over the off-season.

At least I know now... Fortunately, that means more time for studying for my college exams.

Not to mention that I really don't expect the series to start before mid-April. I have now a practical training, then I'll have to do some university homeworks, so I'll be busy over the next weeks.

Since I've got not much else to do for the next week, I figured that I might do some more cleaning up on the wiki. On the driver front, the second Volks Racing seat, the third Acurio seat and all three W2 Racing seats are still open, while Bobby Dollar Racing are yet to confirm what chassis and engine they will be running. As far as numbers are concerned, the following teams are yet to announce their car numbers:

Bobby Dollar Racing - 2nd car (No. 57 was already taken by Tassie Racing)
Euromotor
Rockstar
Aurico
W2 Racing
DSR Racing
Restov Racing

I am still waiting on a conformation on owner driver rules before 100% confirming my entry. Is 59 ok for the second car

Autosport wrote:Melrose: IndyCar Title possibility, Race wins main goal

Several weeks after deciding to make his IndyCar debut at Fontana where he finished 3rd, former world champion Daniel Melrose has told Autosport's Mark Glendenning about his expectations and goals for this year, as the 30 year old Australian sets to make his full-time debut in the series in February's Sao Paulo race.

"Well, I have dabbled in both oval racing and American open wheelers at various points in my career, but this will be the first time that I'll be driving in America for an entire season" said Melrose. "From what I've seen last year and from my experience in Fontana, these cars are incredible fun to drive but they are incredibly sensitive to change, so we have to make sure it's in the window week in, week out. McDoggle's end of season for is encouraging for all of us at the team, and we're expecting to be competitive and be fighting for wins. It'll be a major disappointment if we walk away from this year with at least a few victories."

When asked about his and McDoggle's title chances, Melrose was cautiously optimistic about the possibility. "Of course, winning the title would be a fantastic achievement and we'd like to do it" quipped the Australian "But, at the same time, we have to consider the opposition we're up against. IBR and Plus One look incredibly strong this year, and we also have smaller yet highly competitive teams such as Cassidy Racing, Bobby Dollar and Rockstar to consider. The title's not out of the question, but we have to be perfect for all 24 races to do it, and that'll be a tough ask for someone like myself who has comparatively little experience on ovals."

Fine, you're signed.

Wizzie, I was initially going to run two cars only, but I now decided to sign Gannit.

Onyx Racing will be lucky to win once in this season, but the cars are much improved from the obsolete cars that appeared late in the 2015 season. Might contend on the road courses in particular.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 05 Apr 2013, 14:06

Since Anita Horford's dream is to win a race in Indianapolis to honour her father, she would probably be well advised to go to this series: any team that is interested in taking on a pay-driver would be well served in having her.

DSR will be using # 33

Autosport wrote:IndyCar to stage non-championship event at Fontana / Creation of the "Marlboro Five"

IndyCar officials announced the staging of a non-championship race at the Auto Club Speedway at Fontana. That race is supposed to be held the night before the season-ending California 500, and will in fact be the continuation of last year's "800.000 $ challenge". However, only points-leaders, race winners and pole sitters will be eligible for the renamed "Budweiser 200 Challenge", where the winner will earn 800.000 $.

In other news, Indy officials announced the creation of the "Marlboro Five", which emcompasses all 500-mile races of this season. If one driver manages to win at Indianapolis, the Lausitzring, Michigan, Pocono and Fontana, that driver will earn 5.000.000 $. This move is also supposed to encourage more one-off entries at these five events.

Over the next day, I'll try to finally update the teams stats, so we can start the pre-season tests. So stay tuned!

ZimSport are changing their schedule for the season. It remains the same as before except they will now skip COTA, Donington and Michigan as they clash with Ryan's RTCC commitments, and will also skip Indy because John has blown too much money on repairing his World 800 cars and doesn't want to risk even one car again :lol:

Well, if ZimSport want another driver, I'm sure Plus One can supply one...

If anyone wants a pay driver, they can hire North Korea's Han Yong-Sung, a name that might be familiar to some

Wait, that's the IndyCar thread. Here's the correct wiki page: http://f1alternate.shoutwiki.com/wiki/2 ... ies_season

I don't know much about F1RICS. You can ask Ferrarist, he is running the series.

Germany's successful IndyCar outfit Volks.Racing has a new prominent owner: it's none other than the legendary David Hasselhoff! The famous singer/actor will combine his impressive presence with the management effort of Projekt Roter Baron for the best possible results from 2016 onwards.

The team, from now on known as www.bild-english.de Hasselhoff Motorsport will field two cars as planned with the #94 being driven by Ralf Schumacher and the #95 being driven by German talent Herbert Aston. Furthermore, a third chassis with the number #91 will be entered for the Auto Bild 500 and the 100th Indianapolis 500 with a prominent name about to join the team for those two races.

Having just looked at the RWRS calendar for 2016, I have noticed a mistake.

The Brazilian Grand Prix name doesn't make any sense. In Brazil, Valentines Day is celebrated on 12 June, not 14 February. If it were real, the locals would be extremely confused

Ok, before we go any further, let me stop you right there for a minute. First of all, one does not simply assign stats to the chassis or the engine; that's the evil overlord Ferrarist's job. Secondly, you give Gonzi max stats, yet you give Yong-Sung probably the worst stats on the grid bar none (And shame on you Dark for not picking that up

), which I find is a rather 'interesting' decision. Finally, you do realise there's a starting budget that teams have to work with and that everything costs money, right?

While I am still here having a go at everyone, we still need numbers for Euromotor, Rockstar, Acurio, W2 Racing, DSR and Restov, and the equipment that Bobby Dollar Racing will be using for this year so I can get around to updating the wiki.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 13 Jul 2013, 08:51

I still don't know whether Bobby Dollar will have to pay for himself despite being an owner driver all along. I need to know that information before I decide on the team's future. What is certain is that Damon Cannon will join the team in some form.

Just ignore the stats I gave out everyone

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 19 Jul 2013, 20:23

First of all, I'm sorry to disappoint you that this update will just announce another delay. University work takes up most of my spare time. But, my exam is over and I just have to write three essay. Something, which I'd let to get done until mid-August. Second but, I won't spend 8-10 hours a day on my essays. So, I can spare some time for my canonical IndyCar series. After all, I'm more or less responsible to get the canonical racing season under way

To refresh some rules, here's a reminder:

- New teams have to obey the 500.000 $ spending cap. Here's a good example for that: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4934&hilit=+Indy#p151064
Actually, screw that. Debts for everyone.
- You only assign driver skills to new drivers, whereas you have to stick to the skills I assigned (randomly) for each chassis and engine and the skills which were assigned to existing drivers in the 2015 season.
- Teams can basically spend as much as they want. They can even go into debt, BUT the debt has to be paid off by the end of the season, or else the team will be liquidated.
- You pay your drivers according to the set of skills they were given in the last season. Drivers with 30 skill points cost 300.000$, so do the math about driver costs. This rule will also apply to driver-owners. If I would made driver-owners for free, I'm sure that many teams would abuse that loophole immediately, thus saving 300.000 $ in the process. I mean, you can easily afford a Honda with that money!

I won't promise to do anything like tests or something like that. But I'll try to update this season's teams, so I can notify teams to change things, if it's necessary.
