Once upon a time in Southern France, there was an age old tradition. Francophone drivers would go head-to-head in an end of season bash in Le Castellet. The get together was a rite of passage for future Formula 1 drivers. The list reads like a who's who of French Formula 1 - Alain Prost, Jean Alesi, Dider Pironi, Patrick Tambay, Olivier Panis, Érik Comas, Éric Bernard, Paul Belmondo, Olivier Grouillard and Pascal Fabre.
Now, thanks to Voeckler Grand Prix Engineering, and their key lubricants partner Elf, the race is back. This time though, the stakes are higher than ever. The grand prize isn't just glory and money - it's a paid, full season drive with Voeckler GPE's crack AutoReject 3.5 squad.
The grid is capped at 18 cars, so nobody automatically gets a 2 car team, though you can apply for one, as long as your driver line-up is named upfront, rather than with any TBA's. Entries are prioritised by the team owner's existing presence in canon (or rather lack thereof).
The idea is for existing fictional F2, F3, AR 3.5 or AR 2.0 drivers to be entered. You can enter a canon rookie if you really want to, but I guarantee you they will be awful and troll around the back being hopeless. They also must be fictional - RL drivers aren't allowed in 3.5, so no room for them here either!
There's also a restriction when it comes to teams. Now, you can enter a single car with a team name identical to that of the driver, with a nationality to match. However, if you elect to enter a named team (e.g. Voeckler GPE [FRA]), they must belong to one of the following European, Francophone nationalities; France, Monaco, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Andorra. I will also allow Morocco, given its close proximity to Europe.
So, now you've read all the important stuff, here's the entry pro-forma to use. Fields marked with an asterisk are optional;
Code: Select all
Team name*:
Team nationality*:
Driver 1 name:
Driver 1 nationality:
Driver 1 number (2-99):
Driver 2 name*:
Driver 2 nationality*:
Driver 2 number (2-99)*:
Livery (delete as appropriate): Will create own design / Requesting a design
Livery concept*:
And that's it! If your driver is looking for an opportunity at the second highest tier of motorsport, this could be the place for them. Who will take advantage of the golden ticket on offer?
