[pycku]

i wish to continue with Arrows. I'm willing to take an engine manufacturer (Cosworth or BRM for example) but only if it is not forbidden to make a deal between my team and my engine

[Samster]

I will continue with Boro, provided I've not gone and blown all of our budget away last season.

[pi314159]

I'd like to give the engine manufacturers to people who don't run teams (apart from manufacturer teams). But if not enough people are interested in becoming an engine manufacturer, you can take one.

[kevinbotz]

I'll be persevering with Shadow. Hopefully, our performance won't be as underwhelming as it was in '78.

[Ataxia]

I'm willing to stick with Renault.

[pasta_maldonado]

I will continue with Brabham

[SeedStriker]

I will carry on with Ensign

[Salamander]

Alright, I'm done being a whiny so-and-so. I'll keep McLaren.

[UncreativeUsername37]

I'll keep Surtees.

[takagi_for_the_win]

Well if Ferrari are unmanaged, I'll sneak back in and take control

[Wallio]

[takagi_for_the_win]

Well if Ferrari are unmanaged, I'll sneak back in and take control

Only the team, or the engines too?

Seeing as I'm a crazed, power-hungry megalomaniac, I'll run both if that's alright

And if you don't mind me asking, how come Stramala isn't in this any more?

[pi314159]

He told me on the chat. I guess he just lost interest in this series.

[Hermann95]

I would like to continue with Williams. If not enough people are interestet in the engine manufacturer thing i would also take one.

[pasta_maldonado]

Can we sign drivers yet pi?

[pi314159]

Can we sign drivers yet pi?

Not yet.

[Nessafox]

Willy Kauhsen Racing confirms their entry, with a Kauhsen WK chassis, and probably a BMW engine.

Now i know i can't confirm drivers yet, but the plan is to get long time Kauhsen stalwart Klaus Ludwig as a first driver, and plenty of japanese pay-drivers in the second car. We're specificially interested in Hoshino, Hasemi, Fushida, Kuwashima, Takahashi, Takahare and Nakajima.

[pi314159]

Is it alright if i enter and take control of alfa remeo

Yes, you can do so. Do you want to control the engines too, or only the team?

[Peteroli34]

Ill take both if thats all right. Might give the team a better chance

[andrew]

Confirm ATS

[HawkAussie]

I will continue with Merzario

Well, Mr Crazed, Power-hungry Megalomaniac, let me introduce you to Wizzie Ligier, the most assholish manager you will ever meet. Now, we had a deal with the old management at Ferrari that we run a junior driver of theirs (read: de Angelis), in exchange for free engines. We'd prefer keeping the deal as is, but if you cancel the contract, we keep de Angelis as collateral for breaking the contract.

Capisce?

[tommykl]

Wolf Racing is now in deep financial trouble and is looking for a buyer (in other words, I've lost the motivation to take part in this series).

[FantometteBR]

I will keep Tyrrell, but we are keeping an eye at Lotus situation

[DemocalypseNow]

Takagi, as the outgoing manager of Ferrari, I have one favour to ask.

Do not let Ligier buy engines from you next season. They betrayed us. We do not take betrayal lightly. Also, Elio de Angelis is in your young driver programme, should you wish to promote him in place of one of the current drivers.

[roblo97]

Could I please take on the challange of taming the Wolf please.

Wolf WR7

Driver 1: Gilles Villneuve
Driver 2: Emerson Fittipaldi

It was just a plate of brownies, nothing more. Hell, I would have gotten you some if you wanted them. Please take me back

[Phoenix]

Alright, Lotus will use Renault engines again in 1979 coupled to the 80 chassis (we're ditching the 79). We'd like to keep Niki Lauda and Rick Mears in the race seats.

You can have Wolf, but engine and driver signing will follow later.

Entries are closed for new managers now. So Fittipaldi (the team) won't continue into 1979.

[Ferrarist]

Penske will carry on into 1979.

[pi314159]

You can start signing drivers and sponsors now.
