2018-19 FIA Formula E - Paris 2 posted! Kubica champion!!!

Post by Miguel98 »

Welcome to the first electric series in canon, the 2018-19 Formula E Championship. The topic, right now, will serve only to make your case for entries. But there's the rule set:

Teams:
The grid will be made out of 26 cars (two 13 car teams).
As I've said, more than 13 entries can be made, but only 13 will be accepted. How you submit an entry?

Code: Select all

[b]Fill out this form:[/b]
Team Name:
Team Principal:
Why you want to enter FE:
Why you think FE is important to motorsport:


Drivers:
We will enforce the canon rule regarding real life drivers. This means that we need to have at least 10 real life drivers in the series.
Each team can make 4 driver change throughout the season.
Performance files will be based in canon results and real life results (for real life drivers, we also look upon canon results if they exist).
Canon rookies are not allowed.

Weekend Structure:
Qualifying:
Drivers will get divided into two groups for qualifying: Group A and Group B. Random Group Creator will be used (in the same way GBRC heat order is determined).
The top 4 of each group will advance into a one-lap shoot-out for pole position. The order of the top 8 is decided by tha shoot-out, with the rest of the grid decided by order of fastest lap in agreggate groups.
Race:
The race will be run over 100km, with a maximum lenght of one hour.
It will feature one pitstop (as in real life, with a car switch), decided by RNG.
Safety cars will be a thing, as long as they work well within the track .aiw.
There will be variable weather (during qualifying and race), if I can get the rFe weather plugin to work. If not, I will notify so. If yes, an RNG will be run regarding what sort of weather we will have based on weather history at the circuit location.

Calendar:
This is the big difference between IRL FE and canon FE. In here, not all tracks will be street circuit. 5 tracks will indeed be street circuits, with the other 3 beeing permanent circuits. The calendar isn't fully decided yet.
Pre-Season Testing - Donington Park
1st Round - Putrajaya Street Circuit
2nd Round - TBA, Street Circuit in Eastern Europe
3rd Round - Dubai
4th Round - Long Beach Street Circuit
5th Round - TBA, Street Circuit in Europe
6th Round - TBA, Round in Italy (road course)
7th Round - Brands Hatch
8th Round - Circuit Charles de Gaulle
The series finale at Paris will feature a double header.

Points Structure:
We will use the FIA points structure for 2018.
1st - 15 Points
2nd - 12 Points
3rd - 10 Points
4th - 8 Points
5th - 6 Points
6th - 5 Points
7th - 4 Points
8th - 3 Points
9th - 2 Points
10th - 1 Point
Pole Position - 2 Points

Game Mechanics:
We will use rFactor, with the Formula E WCP 14-15 mod, together with the rFe weather plugin (if I can get it to work).
The series will be, like it's real life counterpart, for the first season at least, a single spec series.
"Setup Mechanic":
After the entries are finalised, a RNG range for each race will be announced for each team (based on previous canon history or real life history).
The number RNG rolls will be either added or subtracted to the drivers performance (to their speed stat and minracing skill stat).
Nationality Bonus:
This'll happen to the drivers who have a home race. A range from between 0 and +5 will be added on to their Speed value and MinRacing Skill.

Team Name: BMW Dynamics Melrose Racing Team
Team Principal: Pierre & Luke Depault
Why you want to enter FE: With the disappearance of BMW's F2 and F3 programs, it has left the MRT facility in Cologne under-uitilised. With BMW also developing their i-range of electric vehicles, a joint decision has been made to enter Formula E to promote the brand and develop our electric vehicle technology
Why you think FE is important to motorsport: Formula E is an important proving ground for electric vehicles, which BMW believes will make up a significant portion of the market in the future. BMW also wants to promote ecological sustainability, which we believe Formula E will help achieve for the motorsport community as a whole.

Team Principal: Jonathon Hunter
Why you want to enter FE: Hunter Autosport have teamed up with electric car manufacturer Tesla. The collaboration between the two enables Tesla to further develop its technology that will find its way into future road without having to spend time running a full works team.
Why you think FE is important to Motorsport: We all know that we are running out of fossil fuels, we are using them faster then the earth can replenish them. While electric technology maybe the future its not quite at the same level or convenience of petrol power. Motorsport advances technology modern cars use items that have developed in racing everything from disc brakes to tyres. Formula E allows to advance electric technolgy that can then be applied to vehicles that the public can buy making it more viable

Team Name: Voeckler Renault

Team Principal: Frédéric-Maxime Voeckler & Alain Prost

Why you want to enter FE: Renault is a world leader in affordable and accessible electronic vehicles, with the mass market Zoe and Twizy models already on sale around the globe. To further improve its technology, and market its EV credentials around the world, Renault looks to enter FE in conjunction with its factory motorsport partner, Voeckler GPE, who run their AR World Series programme, to ensure they are as competitive as possible in this new venture.

Why you think FE is important to motorsport: Formula E goes back to the roots of what motorsport was originally about - looking for technological innovation, and pushing the limits of what is possible for road going cars, and transferring that technology to the cars we drive ourselves. With fossil fuels running out quickly, the only way to ensure the same level of mobility for society as we have to day is to embrace, and constantly improve on, fully electric vehicles. Formula E creates an environment where we can justify spending enough R&D money on aspects like battery technology to make it happen.

Team Name: CWG Data Collection

Team Principal: David Baldwin

Why you want to enter FE:

David Baldwin wrote:The Commonwealth Group and its affiliated organisations, has, in its various evolutionary iterations during its operational timeframe, remained optimally oriented vis-à-vis the preeminent contemporary technological paradigm via a committed, process-driven, organisational dynamism. The Commonwealth Group considers the FIA Formula E Championship as a conceptually promising, if operationally nascent, demonstration ground for the iterative development of battery and electric motor technology within the context of its application to land transportation in general, in addition to potentially presenting experimental opportunities for concomitant developments with relevance to the aerospace sector.

With consideration to the Commonwealth Group's extensive corporate and technological involvement in the industrial sectors as aforementioned, the Commonwealth Group regards a participatory effort in the FIA Formula E Championship as fully conducive to its present intermediate-term objective, namely the eventual maturation of existing developmental efforts in the implementation, integration and total optimization of electric propulsion technologies within the pertinent technical areas.


Why you think FE is important to motorsport:

David Baldwin wrote:The Commonwealth Group considers the FIA Formula E Championship as being indicative of the commendable dedication on the part of the FIA, and the motorsport sector in general, in mitigating structural stasis and organisational inertia with consideration to alternative propulsion technologies, as manifested in the sanctioning of a high-level championship uniquely dedicated to the exhibition and iterative development of electric propulsion. The Commonwealth Group strongly regards the paradigmatic approach as ultimately represented by the actualization of the FIA Formula E Championship as broadly beneficial to the general motorsport industry as human transportation approaches an inevitable phase of transition from hydrocarbon-based technology, and as in strong correlation with the Commonwealth Group's central corporate and organisational axioms.

Team Name: Union Saver Developments

Team Principal: Karl Lichter Shultz

Why you want to enter FE: As one of the more representative motorsports organizations in the present, USD can't be apart of a series that can, and will eventually be, a real alternative for open-wheel racing. The prospect of development is huge, and the value for on-track action even bigger.

Why you think FE is important to motorsport: It's a showcase of newer technology, totally in contrast with the several restrictions in open-wheel series like Formula 1, and an oportunity to revive the careers of several good drivers that has been sidelined in the other top formulae series, and at the same time, a well deserved oportunity for lower formulae rookies that for whatever reason haven't reach top competition.

Team Name: eRUF Electric Racing Team
Team Principal: Alois Ruf Jr, Mika Salo
Why you want to enter FE: RUF has developed electric cars before with mixed results. We wish to enter this series to help develop our abilities to produce electric cars within our lineup. We hope that with the motorsport expertise of Mika Salo and the experience we have in cooperation with Blokkmonsta Racing that we have a strong enough outfit to be accepted into this ground-breaking series.
Why you think FE is important to motorsport: We see the continuing promotion of electric cars in motorsport as important in encouraging countries to transition away from dwindling fossil fuels. We hope to see Formula E as an avenue not only to promote electric cars, but also to encourage series with more direct fan interaction within the series in order to allow motorsport to better adapt to a more socially-conscious world.

Team Name: Scuderia Adriatica powered by Subaru
Team Principal: Mirco Benacani
Why you want to enter FE: In an ever-changing and rapidly evolving automotive environment, Subaru is looking forward to design a new platform suited to electric vehicles. The Japanese manufacturer thinks motorsport is the best way to advertise this project and to bring such developments forward: to do that, Subaru´s putting its stakes on its already existing partnership with a young, dynamic and committed racing team like Scuderia Adriatica.
Why you think FE is important to motorsport: Motorsport has always been about tracing new ways for the future of mobility. Sadly, this function has faded off during the last couple of decades: that´s why we like FE to be a new benchmark for technologies we could see in the near future in "regular" cars.

Team Name: ICE-3 Melkus Racing

Team Principals: Lennart König, Peter Melkus

Why you want to enter FE: Melkus produced the now legendary RS1000. We made a comeback in 2010 with the RS2000 before (sadly) filling for bankruptcy. Now with solid finances and an association with ICE-3 Racing, we are strong and wish to give birth to our lastest project, the Melkus RS-E. The RS-E will be our 100% electric sportscar. 2-stroke, 4-stroke engines ? Been there, done that. Electric engines are simply the next step in Melkus' and automotive evolution and we do want to take part in it. We wish that one day, we will be able to run our RS-E in a GT class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Why you think FE is important to motorsport: Quality of racing isn't determined by a number of cylinders or the sound an engine produces. Formula E is going to prove this to the so-called "fans" who claim the good ol' 80s were better. Fans and motorsports : FE is going to be closer to the fans than most of the single seaters series are. Manufacturers with F1 teams often justified their millions invested in R&D on the ground of road relevance, FE is really going to be road relevant. The technology we are going to see in 2018-2019 is going to be in your car tomorrow, and much faster than you can think ! Environment : It has been said that electric vehicles generate much less pollution than their petrol or diesel counterparts, but what about the team's infrastructures for example ? What about recycling ? Formula E is going to give a massive boost to these researches. Everything will lead to much cleaner motorsports and some solutions might even end up in everyday's life. This is simply a win-win deal for our passion and our planet.

This probably isn't the best choice. Renault and Nissan make a point of not competing against each other in motorsport due to their worldwide alliance, and with Renault's already very strong presence in real life FE, and multiple Renault-powered bids tendered, it would be unlikely to see Nissan selected. Maybe try a different team?

Due to already having sufficient entries to the 13 spots (and believe me, it's hard to decide :facepalm: ), the FE comission decide to close submissions for entries. The FE comission will now deliberate who are the teams who will enter FE in the upcoming season.

(unless, someone who's away, writes me saying they want a team, and of course, for Regenmeister94 to edit his entry)

If I get a position on the grid, I'm open to a partnership if it gets someone else on the grid too.

OK, am I allowed to revise my entry in that case?

If so:
Team Name: Impul Nissan-Renault

Team Principal: Kazuyoshi Hoshino

Why do you want to enter FE? We can offer some much-needed competition from Japan, a nation with a vibrant motoring history. Thanks to our affiliation with Nissan, who are allied with Renault, we can use Formula E as a common base between the two companies to develop electric motoring technologies.

Why do you think FE is important to motorsport? Electric power must be embraced by motorsport if it is to have a future beyond fossil fuels. Not only that, it also offers much more scope for powertrain innovation than conventional oil derivative-powered motorsports.

That... still doesn't work. :P

Impul only work with Nissan in real life. It needs to be a team either connected to another manufacturer, or a privateer squad. Imagine, for example.... Aguri.

...but aren't Nissan partnering with a separate team to Renault e.dams for the next season of Formula E? (I mean real life).

Well according to Autosport, it's in the pipeline: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/123280

I seem to remember reading something more recently than March that confirmed their interest but can't remember where that was now.

You can argue it would be unlikely, fair enough, but you could easily say the same about the VAG group in WEC with Audi and Porsche. It can happen, does happen, and so if someone wants to enter as Nissan then why not?

Well, but in canon, for all I know, Voeckler are the team that are most closelly associated with Nissan in this current era. Impul still exists though in Super GT/Formula Nippon for sure though. I'm not saying he can't simply call himself Impul, but at least make it so Nissan only have a small involvement in the project this year, while upping its involvement next year.

Is this agreement between Nissan and Renault not to compete against each other part of canon?

Dammit. Any chance of being allowed to enter with Infiniti branding like Red Bull did from 2013-15 and becoming "Infiniti Impul"?

As long as Biscione allows it, sure. :)
