Weidler would give you £500K, Thackwell would cost £250k and Surer would cost £600k.

Thank you very much!

(I just noticed BMW supplied 3 teams in 1986...so I'll put one more contract out there.)

Lotus will sign Renault engines then, as for the first drive we'll go for Nigel Mansell

Fair enough. Will we get more money from prize winnings?

Also, do we automatically get Ferrari engines?

Yeah, Ferrari will automatically supply you and may supply another team. And yes, there'll be some money dished out halfway through the season. I'll sort upgrades a bit later on.

Ok, Mansell will cost you £4M.

Minardi will take BMW engines.

Minardi is interested in signing Andrea de Cesaris, Alessandro Nannini and Ivan Capelli.

pycku · Post by **pycku** » 18 Nov 2012, 16:23

AGS will take Renault engine and Ivan Capelli. As for second driver - we are still looking and hoping de Crasheris would not find any other place.

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 18 Nov 2012, 16:31

Did I get the Alfa engines?

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 18 Nov 2012, 16:33

We will have:

Engines (in order of preference): BMW or Honda
Drivers (in order of preference): Patrese, Warwick, Dumfries, Cheever, Tambay

As AGS have made a concrete offer for Capelli, Nannini and de Cesaris would like to join Minardi.

As mentioned, de Cesaris can bring £1M, and Nannini would cost you £500k at this stage.

Marlboro would prefer de Cesaris at Minardi, having the distinction of being an Italian driver at an Italian team.

Renault and Capelli's ok though.

Yes, you have Alfa.

The current BMW and Honda allocations are taken. There's still Renault, Ferrari, Ford, Alfa, Hart and Motori Moderni available though.

Patrese would cost you £2.5M, Dumfries would bring £500K, Cheever would cost you £750K and Tambay would cost you £1.2M.

Is Satoru Nakajima available (i know he entered in 87) and is he a pay driver?

PS I saw i have 1,75 mln, but Capelli is 500k and Renault - 3,5 mln, which means i should have 2mln.

Yes, you're quite right...

I was intending to use Nakajima as a Honda bargaining tool for next season...but there's no harm in using him now, I guess. I'll say he's got £250k to bring to you.

It's a deal then.

AGS will take Nakajima then. Also we hope to keep him next season if he is to bring us free Honda engines, but we will see what will happen.

Hmm... We seem to have a lot of money left over. How much would Keke Rosberg be?

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 18 Nov 2012, 17:32

By the way, I'd like to ask if I could change the name of my team? Or rather, the main sponsor of the team. IIRC, BMW didn't like tobacco sponsors, which is why Williams had to abandon their Winfield sponsorship in 2000. Thus, I'd like to rename my team "Warsteiner Zakspeed-BMW Racing". Thank you!

Off-topic, but I just realized that Ultimate Racing has West tobacco sponsoring in RoLFS, despite 4 of the 7 racing weekends taking place on British soil (i.e. EU terrain)...

Camel-Aeroracing (nee Phoenix) in F1RWRS springs to mind, too. :lol:

Well, BMW supplied Arrows in 1986, and they had Barclay sponsorship. You can rename your team that way, but don't worry too much...

You've got your drivers too.

Okay, if Arrows had Barclay AND BMW engines, I'm gonna change my plans, and keep West on board.

Our reporter managed to stick his camera through the fence at WAtkins Glen earlier this week, where an all-new Lola THL-02 was being shaken down by the team's test driver, Alan Jones.

The Atari Haas-Lola team, to give them their full name, has yet to launch the car in public, but from what we can see, the car is stunning.

Just some drivers possibly of interest as for when WaffleCat, Grovey and eurobrun log in:

Berger - £3M
Laffite - £900k
Streiff - £500k
Caffi - £600k
Arnoux - £1M
Alliot - £500k
Danner - £500k
Nielsen - £400k
Cheever - £750k
Palmer - £750k

The engines are somewhere on page 1 too...

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 18 Nov 2012, 23:38

Ligier will pick up Ferrari engines,leaving us with £6mil.

We will also sign Jacques Laffite and Gerhard Berger,leaving us with £2.1 million.

Well that was the case when signing teams, that is why I took AGS. However, the rules are the same for everybody + I don't think Arnoux is such a bad choice

I'll ensure the bidding process is fairer for '87. Anyway, there's life in the old Frog yet...

(Anyway, look at your money for upgrades. You haven't got an engine yet but that's still quite a bit of money...)

I will give Grovey a Ford Cosworth deal, just so that I can make a start on collating everything I need.

The negotiations will be a little bit fairer next season for both drivers and engines.
