It is my destiny to take Jordan Racing from Eddie Jordan's grubby fingers.

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 08 Aug 2012, 12:56

I'll take Lola, and we'll sign a certain Michael Schumacher

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 08 Aug 2012, 12:58

First dibs on Middlebridge!

Real drivers as used in F3000 '89, so RLWTP.

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 08 Aug 2012, 13:00

Jordan Racing will take Eddie Irvine and Damon Hill. We will also bag the Mugen-Honda engine. Updates to follow...

Done. Also, is David Brabham confirmed? We want to hire him

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 08 Aug 2012, 13:15

No one took March?Fine,calling dibs on it,and we must take Alex Zanardi before anyone else does.Jean Alesi to partner him.

Mugen-Honda engines as well for March engineering.

Flaschenpost · Post by **Flaschenpost** » 08 Aug 2012, 13:17

- Alesi in F1 already

Ah,hang on one second there,Mr Flaschenpost.Alesi only joined F1 mid-season,and also competed in Formula 3000(that year's equivalent of F2) when he was in F1,even opting to miss a few races to those commitments.

i know, you don´t have to tell me ... BUT this F2-Series is running in the same "universe" as the F1-Series i´m running... and in this universe, alesi started F1 from the start of the season... and he is concentrating on this

Gerudo Dragon · Post by **Gerudo Dragon** » 08 Aug 2012, 13:28

I'll have Forti!!!

Mugen-Honda engines.

Forti is interested in JJ Lehto and Ukyo Katayama and will choose Small Grip, Small Reliability and Small Aero.

Cue facepalm smiley from kostas.

Anyways,after March's team boss was taken to hospital to see whether he suffered a severe case of brain fade or not,they shall take in David Brabham's brother Gary.And,no,we are not going for Life engines.Instead,Mugen-Hondas shall be the engine of choice.

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 08 Aug 2012, 13:34

Checking Wikipedia it looks that I have automatic dibs to Mark Blundell and Phil Andrews. That also mean the Lola-Fords.

I will take control of DAMS and stick some Mugen-Honda's in the back. Drivers will be announced soon.

Flaschenpost · Post by **Flaschenpost** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:09

please think also about your upgrade-packages, guys!!!! adapt them before the season-opener!!!

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:13

Well the Mugen-Honda should be bulletproof so I'll take a 'normal' aero pack.

only 1 ? thats okay, but you can take up to 4 packages!

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:22

DAMS will run Andrea Chiesa and Fabrizio Giovanardi. They will buy 2x Mega Aero upgrades, plus 1x Mega Grip and Mega Reliability upgrades.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:24

NEWSFLASH: Planned buy-out of DAMS F3000 team falls apart at last minute for unknown reasons. Same consortium now looking to acquire Footwork.

Post by **Ataxia** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:55

Could I have First Racing please?

I'd like Ford Cosworth engines too, and Jean-Marc Gounon and Marco Apicella driving...

Lastly, I'll have a mega-grip, a medium reliability and a medium aero too. Cheers

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:58

Oreca would like to have Mugen Honda, sign Olivier Grouillard and Pierre-Henri Raphanel, with the Mega Aero pack.

A French line-up for a French team!

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 08 Aug 2012, 16:32

Lola will have Judd engines with Big aero, big grip, and normal reliability packages.

FantometteBR · Post by **FantometteBR** » 08 Aug 2012, 17:26

I'll pic Pacific then with Yannick Dalmas and Gianni Morbidelli as drivers, Ford as engines, and Big Grip/Reliability/Aero as their package
