F1RWRS -- 2014 Season

[RonDenisDeletraz]

OMG! Don't take that seriously, you're too tense!!!
How would I give a penalty for that

Seriously guys, just relax, the fact is I can't always navigate through pages of comments and catching every link, I just want to do it on an organised way, but if someone can compile every 2015 livery published so far for me, it would be great.

Alright, although not all are yet confirmed.

I went as far back as late May this year in search of these, but I still might have missed one. I think.

You missed the Autodynamics livery.

[TomWazzleshaw]

And that MRT livery is about to be changed considerably anyway once I can be bothered.

Sorry for the rejectful effort on my behalf

No worries mate. The bulk of it will remain the same. It's only the wings and the top of the sidepods that'll be changed along with a new set of sponsorship logos.

[Nuppiz]

Added to the list.

To be honest that was my first GP2 livery and I struggled a bit with he small size

[SuperAguri]

Yes yes yes, I have students from the great art university of Nigeria, Brixton branch working on the Arrowtech design and early drafts have looked cracking. We do have sponsorship deals from Western Union, The Frist Bank of Nigeria, Nigerian Tourist Board, Cepco, Al-Faisal Investment Company, Bourjois and of course P Minus Energy drinks. we should have a car design ready for the weekend.

[tommykl]

Here is the Gillet, complete with adjustment due to the collapse of Dexia (we'll just say that this happened at the end of 2014, mkay?).

Hum, hum.

[Nuppiz]

Hum, hum.

List updated.

[FMecha]

I would be careful. Blackmail will not settle well with the teams. We may be forced to start a breakaway organisation if you start to shove frivilous penalties down our throats. It was just a (logical) suggestion.

A breakaway series from a breakaway series? That would be a new one.

FYI, F1RLFS (yes, under the old IRDU/Pointrox regime) was intended as that. Then Nuppiz came and...

...it became another ladder in RWRS' fedder series.

FYI to Aerond (added August 12): If I'm away during chassis selection, keep in mind that Mecha will not change chassis or engine unless notified.

[TomWazzleshaw]

On the basis that it'll give me something to do on the wiki, could you please release the 2015 calender, oh overlord?

Email? What email?

Then again, Yahoo can be on the temperamental side sometimes.

[Klon]

This calendar couldn't be a worse copy of a mid-90ies calendar if we'd try.
Not like there are any better ways of doing this.

Oh come on! Half of the calendar never saw the F1 in the 90´s
but we could swap the order of some of the European races to make you feel comfortable

[Aerond]

We could also add Early 90´s Estoril instead of Early 90´s Imola.

[DemocalypseNow]

We could also add Early 90´s Estoril instead of Early 90´s Imola.

Absolutely not!!

[Klon]

We could also add Early 90´s Estoril instead of Early 90´s Imola.

Oh, please, have any mercy. I'm sorry for having said something.
If I would change any track (but there's no need to, really) I would replace Montreal with Vancouver (I know it'd be worse, but I like the Vancouver track)
I was more going on about the order of the not-EU races: maybe putting Japan after the Australian races could be cool, at least that is unorthodox. Although on the European tracks it would be way more cost-efficient to have Spa - Norisring - Red-Bull-Ring in that order.

And then move the North Sea Grand Prix to before Spa

[Klon]

Yeah, I forgot that one. Thank you very much.

[Aerond]

Yeah, but I didn´t do that to avoid putting 4-5 races in a row in the same area.

[Aerond]

Just for you to know; as soon as Wizzie is available he´ll publish the list of chassis and engines for the 2015 season here:

http://f1alternate.wikkii.com/wiki/2015_Formula_1_Rejects_World_Race_Series_Chassis_and_Engine_List

Have in mind that the market is not opened yet and dates are yet to be announced. I will also send every team owner a message with a reminder of the updates already purchased.

I really hope that market opening happens within the next week, or I'm screwed. I go on holiday next Saturday.

Since there seems to be people coming in and out of holidays it will probably happen in the first week of September.

[Aerond]

There´s also a novelty about the chassis ratings I´d like to announce. The "Speed Rating" of the chassis, instead of modifying the overall Output power of the car, it will modify the drivers speed (+/- 100 per each point, which is very closely equal to 10 Bhp in terms of overall performance). This is because this rating was always intended to somehow simulate the quality of the chassis and I´ve come to the conclusion that, since GP2 cornering speed depends almost on drivers grip, it would be better to asign this value to drivers grip.

Still holidays...and then as soon as I get back, I'm moving home, so...I did say a long time ago this was the case. I know, I'm not asking for special treatment over other people, but my point is, this kind of stuff could have been accounted for in advanced and agreed by the F1RTA and nothing happened. So now it looks like my season might be screwed before it begins. This was bad planning and could have been avoided...

[Aerond]

I don´t know if anybody else is on holiday next week, but the market could definitely open then if everyone else agrees. What I don´t want is wait until mid-september to do this.

If you can, Aerond, as I know you're very busy, but now seems like an ideal time, as everyone is here at the minute.

[Klon]

If it's early next week, I would not mind. The second half could be difficult since I am moving, but don't hold anything up for me. I found a few decent packages amongst last year's even with consideration for all those 20 teams having chassis and engines so I personally would not panic if I miss registration by a few days.

I can´t do it now since I have all the accounting left to do.

I've already done calculating all the prize money myself several weeks ago on the premise that I wanted to see where MRT are at and I had nothing better to do. If you want, I can send it over to you and all you have to do is simply double check the numbers are correct and add the remaining bank balance from the end of last year on top.

That´s fine with me (I was going to ask for a double check from either you or Andreamoda anyway)

While you're still online, I have a quick question. Will each chassis still have a maximum power limit like in previous years?

[Aerond]

Yes, I already sent you the chassis // engine list.

[AndreaModa]

Considering horsepower is capped (at 800bhp I believe) from 2015 onwards, I would imagine so.

If possible Aerond, I'd suggest making a couple of announcements here in the lead up to opening the market, say like 5 days before, followed by another at 3 days, and one 24 hours before, just to keep the thread at the top of the boards and make it as easy as possible for people who don't visit so often (I'm thinking people like DanielPT, SuperAguri, and others) as much of a chance as possible to be aware of the market opening. Having said that, I guess if you're going to message everyone anyway, that will probably be enough, so it's up to you.

In terms of the credit situation, I haven't worked anyone's out. I did have a rough idea of Jones' potential credit amount with a few races to go, but obviously things have changed since then. I might go through and work it out now, if you want me to do additional calculations for other teams too for double checking, then just let me know whenever!

Yes, I already sent you the chassis // engine list.

Let me get this straight. Is Wizzie, owner of one of the leading teams, having access to the engine list before anyone else?

[AndreaModa]

He can't pick anything from it, and he only has it to post on the wiki page that has already been linked to further up this page. The list will be available to view by everyone prior to the market actually opening, so everyone will have a chance to plan their choices and options before the market actually opens.

So I wouldn't worry, there's very little advantage he can gain from seeing it now.

EDIT: Also, a question about credits from me Aerond, that is, do I count Melrose's credits from his finishing position, and the ROTRs he won towards my total, even though he won't drive for the team in 2015? Secondly, am I correct in assuming the F2RWRS payments are split in two? So for me running Vantini who finished second last season, I get 125 credits which are split into 63 paid now, and a further 62 paid after the 8th race? Sorry for asking, the wording of the rule on the wiki is a bit odd that's all!
