With the madness being this, I can wait to do the next race in H4G. This is more awesome.

This is madness....

This Is Reject!

Man, this is just as tense as waiting for the start of the Bathurst 1000. Which, incidentally, isn't just a great race. It is THE Great Race

Eh, the fact that video is 7 minutes long with 6 mintues until the market opens wouldn't be a distraction ploy now would it?

I get the distinct feeling that, with 5 minutes to go, every team owner is fixated at the computer clocks on their screen, every second taking an eternity. :lol:

Damon Cannon waits with nerves fraying, wondering what car he's getting for the season.

Possibly. I posted the link with 9 minutes to go anyway :lol:

Although, if you have Windows 7 like I do, you could splitscreen it and watch it perfectly fine :lol:

Market open. Yay

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:01

Well, since we are ready to go now, I choose to sell my chassis and my engine, allowing me to get me those pathetic 5 credits I miss for the budget cap. With this, I buy the following:

Tropico Grand Prix powered by CR Motorsport
Chassis - Minardi M187
Engine - Judd GV10

Which costs me 950 credits, leaving me at 50. With tommykl's permission, I'd like to make this combination slightly more in-universe by having the engine renamed to "Gillet GV10" just like his, with the obvious implication that it is a customer engine.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:01

Isuzu. I'm selling my current engine to get it.

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:02

Simpson Motorsports will use (if these aren't already taken by the time this is posted):

Engine: Yamaha OX10A (650cr)
Chassis: Onyx ORE-2 (350cr) - though I'll be open to offers from any team who wants to sell their chassis for 350cr.

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:02

I will sell the Ligier JS33 (+200 credits) and purchase the Benetton B191 (-900 credits)

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:02

Sunshine engines choices are:

1- Ford Zetec-R
2- Yamaha OX10A
3- Isuzu P799

The team will retain the current chassis as was agreed when the DPT bought Sunshine.

HRT will be selling their chassis and engine, and take the Rial ARC-02 and Isuzu engine for 2015.

Scuderia Alitalia announces it has sold its Forti FG03 chassis to Shonan DMS Racing for an agreed price of 250 credits, and will use this extra cash to purchase Jordan 191s in their place.

Warren Hughes · Post by **Warren Hughes** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:03

OK I'm selling both chassis and engine, I get 200 credits for each taking me to 1110 credits altogether. With these I am buying

chassis Ligier JS33
engine Peugeot A7

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:04

MRT will take the Ford Zetec R engine for 2015.

EDIT: That was like possibly the worst timing for me as not only did my internet start playing up, mum chose the EXACT moment the market opened to get my breakfast :lol:

Post by **tommykl** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:04

Gillet Ecurie Nationale Belge
Chassis - RAM 03
Engine - Judd GV10
Tyres - Continental
Drivers:
7: Aurelien Moll
8: Thomas De Bock

Just to clarify and confirm that nothing will change. Not like anyone else would take the RAM or the Judd anyway...

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:05

(I want option 1 rather than option 2. If neither options are available I'll tough it out with what I have but expect massive upgrades on both chassis and engine. Thank you).

Kingfisher Racing:

Available credits: 635
Chassis worth: 500 (250 if sold)
Engine worth: 350 (175 if sold)

---------------------
Option 1: Sell chassis for 250 - remaining credits: 885

Buy Jordan191 for 750 credits - remaining credits: 135

Remaining credits: 135

---------------------
Option 2: Sell engine for 175 - remaining credits: 810

Buy Peugeot A7 for 650 credits - remaining credits: 160

----------------------

I thought it was by emailing aerond but never mind. This is what I have emailed:

West Cliff/Foxdale will be trading in their Simtek S491 chassis for a Jordan 191 chassis. They will retain their Renault RS1 engine.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 22 Aug 2012, 21:07

BTW this type of market operation should never be allowed EVER AGAIN. I asked for Benetton B191s six minutes ago, but the forum has slowed to a crawl, and after my post was forced into a queue behind everyone else (?????) Jeremy McClean basically queue-jumped his way to them. I took the 191s when I noticed his post saying "new posts have been made since bla bla bla".

I hope the market never operates like this ever again. It is a total farce. It isn't even first come first served. It's first come first whoever the server decides to accept posts from first.

I actually did that and have asked you (indirectly) whether you would mind if I were to call mine Gillet GV10 just like yours is called and pretend it's a customer engine from Gillet?

Aerond wrote:DGNgineering buys Chrysler for 1000 credits, leaving us with 350

Wait, what? After selling the chassis, you can temporarily go over the budget cap? Does this allow me to add the money which goes above 1000 to Tropico's budget?

I agree. But isn't it whoever emails Aerond first, rather than whoever post on here first? Otherwise I am screwed, being third or fourth to request the Jordan 191...

Nah. The DGNgineering car will (ironically :lol:

) be significantly more unreliable than the MRT, especially when my latest upgrades go through. Speaking of which, Rhys, I've just given you 150 credits to spend on Davies. Knock yourself out :lol:

I'll update the list on the wiki over the course of the morning

And dr-baker, updates per mail, engine and chassis purchase are in the thread.

Well no f*cking sh*t Einstein, didn't you read the post? I wrote that I wanted B191s, hit post, got one of those annoying messages that shows new posts made just before you hit submit. On seeing that, IMMEDIATELY hit sumbit again, got ANOTHER "new post" notification, hit submit AGAIN and got bumped behind Jeremy McClean's post in the "new post" notification page. So basically I spent two minutes hitting sumbit and waiting for the post to sumbit to the thread, and during that time JMC sneaked in ahead of me because he got lucky. I'm not going to begrudge JMC that chassis, it wasn't his fault, but it was a bad idea to overload the forum with traffic by making every team boss post at exactly the same time. When I saw his post, I rapidly bailed on the B191s and quickly switched to Jordan 191s as a Plan B. Thankfully, despite another two cases of "new post" notifications, I finally got it in before anyone else.

Hence why this was a stupid system.

Yes, it's the only moment you can go over budget cap. It's in the rules. Read them!

Well, then Tropico has 220 credits left instead of 50. Sounds good to me. 8-)
