Yes. At the moment you just need a nationality and engine supplier, drivers and car design come later.

Is there still room for this team?

Name: Rabobank Achilles Grand Prix Engineering
Nationality: Dutch
Engine: Honda

Rabobank was looking for new marketing opportunities, after quitting cycling a couple of years ago. They found their new partner in Achilles, a small but very ambitious Dutch racing team, founded by several ex-DAF/Volvo Holland engineers. Achilles-Honda is now making a big step, entering Formula Golden Ratio.

There isn't a maximum number of teams. If it ends up over 14, xkoranate will be called back to run PQ.

You can distribute your cars' stat points and hire drivers now. You can make a fancy list of drivers if you want, but no one's had overlapping driver demands before, so you'll probably be good.

I assume you mean José María López?

By the way, if no contract lengths or clauses are specified, it defaults to one year with no clauses on driver or team.

Just so no one feels unsure again, yes, only F1 race drives count. Testers and reserves are okay.

Yes, you have to make new stats, even if you came in the same position as last time. I don't know if you did, but that's the rule.

Here is the livery for Achilles.

I used the following car number positions:
First car nose: X=111, Y=21, width=72, height=7.
Second car nose: X=111, Y=39, width=72, height=7.
First car wing: X=1, Y=151, width=12, height=12.
Second car wing: X=243, Y=151, width=12, height=12.
Nose: X=12, Y=30.
Left wing: X=239, Y=84.
Right wing: X=8, Y=132.

Please replace the number '00' with whatever numbers my cars will be assigned.

In a couple days I'll run the driver RNG, which is currently just Nick Heidfeld and Mitch Evans. I'm hesitant to run it because Benelux haven't made driver choices yet, but it's been a while....

Heidfeld: Achilles v Teesside
Well... not much to choose between them. The only solution is Hyper RNG, aka a coin flip.
1-50: Achilles
51-100: Teesside
19. He's off to Achilles.

Evans: Kiwi v Teesside
Again, nothing to suggest one team should be better than the other. Maybe a proud New Zealander team has appeal, but that's grasping at straws a bit....
1-50: Kiwi
51-100: Teesside
19, again. Teesside need a better negotiator.

Just liveries left to go before the first race can be run. I don't have a specific time in mind, but if a while goes by with no submissions after most people are done, then the team(s) without a livery yet will just have a generic one based on their country.

I don't mind about the livery so a generic Kiwi one will do me fine.

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 24 Jan 2015, 10:19

That should do for Gauthier's livery.
