For those that entered real life teams, they may or may not have liveries already in the game that I can simply repurpose for this. For fictional teams, real teams with no liveries or those who simply want to make their own anyway, you can find the templates here.

As usual, if you can't do a livery, just ask for it here. Remember to include details of what you want it to look like, as well as any sponsors you want.

There doesn't seem to be a Volvo template in there...

You need a second driver, just so you know.

I figure now is as good a time as any to do some driver RNGs, just to sort out a few clashes. The drivers who will go through the RNG are Jim Richards, Ellen Lohr, John Bowe, Thomas Lindstrom and Dick Johnson (because let's face it, it's incredibly unlikely that Dick will go from racing his own Sierras very successfully in Australia to driving non-works 190Es.)

Jim Richards
1-65 - Takes Aussie drive
66-80 - Only races for HDT
81-100 - Does most of season for Aussie, but takes HDT seat for Wellington and Bathurst

39, drives for Aussie.

Ellen Lohr
1-55 - drives for Zakspeed
56-100 - drives for Volker

6, drives for Zakspeed.

John Bowe
1-75 - Takes Nissan drive
76-85 - Only races for Volvo
86-100 - Does most of season for Nissan, but takes Volvo seat for Wellington and Bathurst

75, decides on the Nissan.

Thomas Lindstrom
1-75 - Takes Volvo seat
76-100 - Takes the Hunter Rover

73, takes the Volvo.

Dick Johnson
1-40 - Takes the Aussie seat
41-70 - Knocks it back in favour of racing his own Sierras at Wellington and Bathurst
71-76 - Races for Aussie except for Wellington and Bathurst
77-80 - Will only race if number is changed to 17
81-100 - Will only drive if team renamed "Dick Johnson Racing" and runs Sierras.

81 - Will race for Aussie on the condition that he is allowed to buy the team and purchases Sierra RS Cosworths.

I suppose Dick Johnson gets his own way then, *rages*

I should warn you that if you do buy the Sierras, you will have precisely no money left at all. That may become an issue further down the line.

V8fan12 · Post by **V8fan12** » 26 Jun 2014, 03:38

Ok, since John Bowe declined my generous offer, I'd like to ask Tony Longhurst to partner Francevic for Bathurst and Wellington.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 26 Jun 2014, 03:53

Since it looks like Gentleman Jim would rather race for DJR, we'd also like to make an offer for Tony Longhurst to drive for the HDT at Bathurst and Wellington. Failing that, we'll go for David "Skippy" Parsons instead

I'll just have a simple white with red, Viper-style stripes, with sponsors from random Japanese autoparts companies.

On second thought, let him have 23. The number was assosciated with Nissan from before Lansvale used it.

Also, German F3 frontrunner Jorg Scrattenheim is interested in some sort of drive

FMV's management has been pondering the various offers made for his services. While he is still interested in racing for Valerian, he has a few points to make before he can possibly sign a contract;

After analysing the resources at Valerian's disposal, he is slightly concerned at the lack of ambition being shown in their car choices. A well funded outfit such as them should really be running with the top spec Sierra RS500, a car capable of winning the championship - the same cannot be said for the RS Cosworth.

However, Frederic-Maxime Voeckler is part of a very well connected motorsports family and can offer very good drivers for an expanded two-car operation; namely, his older brother and one of the best drivers of 1980s Formula One, Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler, for one-off appearances, and also an old acquaintance Simone Guidetti, also formerly of Formula One.

If Valerian purchases an RS500 to run as its lead car, Frederic-Maxime Voeckler will sign a contract with Valerian. JE Voeckler and Guidetti can also be discussed if necessary.

Valerian aceppts Voeckler points and we will buy a RS500 as read car.

I've been getting the F3RWRS ready, so this will be on hold until that starts. Although since I still need liveries from a lot of people, there's still plenty of time before I can start this anyway.

BUMP!

I probably should get this going, and we'll start with some more long-overdue driver RNGs:

Roland Ratzenberger
1-75 - Takes Sierra drive with Rouse
76-100 - Takes Supra drive with Loyer

23, he goes to Rouse.

Eric van de Poele
1-60 - Takes M3 drive with Zakspeed
61-100 - Takes Supra drive with Loyer

55, he goes to Zakspeed.

Masahiro Hasemi
1-55 - Takes Skyline drive with Janspeed
56-100 - Takes Supra drive with Loyer

6, he goes to Janspeed.

Naoki Nagasaka
1-10 - Takes one race Corolla seat with Techcraft
11-95 - Takes Supra drive with Loyer
96-100 - Takes Supra drive but races with Techcraft at Fuji

62, he goes to Loyer.

Tony Longhurst

1-50 - Does Wellington and Bathurst for HDT
51-100 - Does Wellington and Bathurst for VDT

76, he goes to Volvo.

With that, here's an entry list for the Monza 500:

I would like to get going within the next week. If you have any question marks on that entry list, YOU NEED TO FILL THEM. If you try to pick a driver that's already taken, you will not even be getting an RNG. If under the livery column it says "No", it means I haven't got it yet. If it says "Design", it means you've at least posted what you want your cars to look like. I can take care of the Loyers and Nismos. For everyone else, could you please have an attempt at making your liveries (here are the templates). I would like to avoid using old liveries where possible, so please, either do it or ask someone else nicely (the exception to this is the Volvo Dealer Team, as there is no Volvo template so I will just be using liveries already in the mod).

And for those who refuse to even attempt because they think they're bad at it, I direct you to Ataxia's brilliant livery help thread. Use it, and take a swing. I never said it had to be good

As was said before, the #87 Ford Escort is available for hire by anyone who doesn't want to embark on a full-time campaign. Should I not find anyone though, here's some BTCC drivers who ought to fill in when no-one else is driving (all drivers are English by nationality):

Lionel Wiffen
Phil Dowsett
Graham Hathaway
Mark Hales
Patrick Watts
Keith Norman

Just run RNGs until I have two drivers.

I have no idea. You might as well take a swing, and if it's wrong I can fix it myself. Not a big deal.
