Takagis F1 management game! Europe Qualifying Up

takagi_for_the_win · Post by **takagi_for_the_win** » 04 Nov 2012, 16:13

Right guys, clue is in the name. Its an F1 management game, but rather than me using fancy computer software, I'll be using my trusty blue biro and A4 pad

Begins in the year 1996. Its first come, first served regarding the teams and lead driver, but reverse order for second driver i.e. the last team to sign up gets first choice for second driver. Engines are also first come, first served, and NO teams will be works teams; you will have to buy your engines, and when they blow, you'll have to buy a new engine as a replacement.

TEAMS:
Ferrari (budget £50 m)- NAM
Benetton (£50 m)- Benetton (Renault)
Williams (£45 m)- pasta_maldonado (Ferrari)
McLaren (£40 m)- BlindCaveSalamander (Mercedes)
Jordan (£35 m)- FMecha (Mugen)
Ligier (£30 m)- Klon (Hart)
Sauber (£25 m)- Vepe (Mercedes)
Arrows (£20 m)- Tristan117
Tyrrell (£15 m)- pi314etc (Yamaha)
Minardi (£15 m)- andrew (Yamaha)
Forti (£10 m)- BaconLettuceNinja (Mugen)

ENGINES:
Ferrari 046 (for Ferrari and 1 other team- cost £3m)
Ford Zetec-R (for 2 teams- cost £1.5m)
Cosworth EDM3 (for 3 teams- cost £1m)
Hart Type 830 (for 3 teams- cost £1m)
Mercedes-Benz FO110/3 (for 2 teams- cost £2.5m)
Mugen MF-301 (for 2 teams- cost £2m)
Peugeot A12 EV5 (for 2 teams- cost £2.5m)
Renault RS8 (for 2 teams- cost £3.5m)
Yamaha OX11A (for 3 teams- cost £1.5m)

1996, huh? I'll have McLaren, then. We'll have Mercedes-Benz engines, and our first driver will be Michael Schumacher.

Ok, Schumi will set you back £10m

I'll update the budgets when team sign-up is completed

Number 1 driver Trulli
Yamaha engine

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 04 Nov 2012, 16:42

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 04 Nov 2012, 16:58

I'll take Williams

(why not?)
Driver: David Coulthard

Vepe · Post by **Vepe** » 04 Nov 2012, 17:13

I'll take Sauber with Mercedes engines and Mika Salo driving

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 04 Nov 2012, 17:18

I will take Arrows.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 04 Nov 2012, 17:27

Ligier will go for Hart engines and Olivier Panis.

NAM · Post by **NAM** » 04 Nov 2012, 17:29

The newcomer here will take Ferrari with Jean Alesi. So who's taking Tyrrell?

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 04 Nov 2012, 18:51

OK, I'm taking Tyrrell

EDIT: I'm taking the Yamaha engines. My drivers are Herbert and Badoer

Ferrim · Post by **Ferrim** » 04 Nov 2012, 20:53

I've arrived late! :lol:

Post by **Ataxia** » 04 Nov 2012, 22:04

Actually, seeing as Katayama has bolstered our coffers we'll take Mugen-Hondas if that's possible.

So that leaves me with £11m so far.

Forti - Mugen Honda
22. Ukyo Katayama
23. tba

If no one has taken then I would Luke sauber please with Peugeot engines and deletraz as #1 if possibly

Yeah, seems that all of the teams were taken really quickly, this is likely among the fastest signups for any series ever!

Any chance of adding more teams to the list? Abandoned projects like Dome or DAMS, or maybe 1995 teams Simtek and Pacific?

Or mastercard Lola with deletraz driving :lol:

pycku · Post by **pycku** » 05 Nov 2012, 08:26

Hmm, too late for me, too. If possible, i'd like to take charge of Stewart, though...

roblo97 · Post by **roblo97** » 05 Nov 2012, 08:35

I would like to be mastercard Lola if possible with deletraz driving and Ford engines please

If you add extra teams maybe you could do a pre qualifying thing but its just an idea I've had on my school bus

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 05 Nov 2012, 12:39

Arrows would like Peugeot engines and our lead driver will be Jos Verstappen.

Right, sign-up was remarkably quick. Since pi314... was the last person to sign up, he would have first choice for second driver, but he picked both in his initial post. So the order now is: NAM, Klon, tristan1117, Vepe, pasta_maldonado, FMecha, andrew, BlindCaveSalamander, Benetton and finally BaconLettuceNinja.

Also, for those who missed the sign-up, if your still interested, I can add teams for you

Yes please, I'd like to call dibs on DAMS to keep in line with my F1RGP2C character's team.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 05 Nov 2012, 21:52

If Dome enters in the future can I please run them.

takagi_for_the_win · Post by **takagi_for_the_win** » 05 Nov 2012, 21:55

And for the drivers:
andrew: Trulli will cost £3m
FMecha: Brundle will cost £4.5m

Vepe: Salo will cost £4m
tristan1117: Verstappen will cost £3.5m

Ok, sorry Nuppiz, eurobrun and roblomas, having read the last part of that post, I say what I meant. What I meant to say was I will add teams for the 1997 season for you

sorry, my bad!

Post by **Nuppiz** » 05 Nov 2012, 22:03

Ah ok, well I shall just wait patiently then.

roblo97 · Post by **roblo97** » 05 Nov 2012, 22:10

14 or so teams tbc for next year = pre qualifying :lol:

pycku · Post by **pycku** » 05 Nov 2012, 22:29

So are there going to be more teams?

NAM · Post by **NAM** » 05 Nov 2012, 22:40

I'm taking Fisichella as my 2nd driver. An Italian driver in an Italian car sounds good and I don't see any other option that fits this criteria. Well, Lavaggi is still up for grabs...

Ok, thank you NAM, Fisichella will set you back £4m. Klon, your next to pick a second driver.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 06 Nov 2012, 00:36

Since he wasn't picked yet and he seems like a good option, Ligier hires Gerhard Berger.

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 06 Nov 2012, 00:42

Arrows will sign Heinz-Harald Frentzen as their second driver.

Vepe · Post by **Vepe** » 06 Nov 2012, 15:14

Sauber takes Verstappen

Edit. Looks like he was taken, so Blundell

andrew · Post by **andrew** » 06 Nov 2012, 15:21

2nd drive is Wurz avalible?

Post by **Ataxia** » 06 Nov 2012, 15:35

I know that I would be last to pick my second driver, but could I have a list of pay-drivers please?

I just wanna see if it's worth having two...
