As Salo made it on the list by winning the first Honda rookie cup race you can sign him for the rest of the season. Please anounce how much you'd like to pay him.(only for the next 4 races) Ferrari also got back 1m$, the wage for Dalmas for the last 4 races of the season.

Are you shure starting a new high technical upgrade is the right way? Minardi is already in dept and starting the sequential gearbox upgrade would cost you 3m$ + testing costs. Minardi has still not finished the adjustable FW upgrade and the active suspension!

Do you mean Ferrari can sign Salo as the second driver or the test driver? He will be signed as the 2nd driver if you permit it.

That's the same reason why I don't test whatsoever - I would like to keep Larrousse in the green.

Ok then, Minardi will start the sequential gearbox next season and just work on the active suspension at Donnington.

After checking Salos experience i can say that the FIA will allow Ferrari to sign Salo as 2nd driver for the rest of the season.

@Minardi: change of the testing plans noticed.

pycku please check your PM.

With regards to chassis development: 3 teams already handed in their plans.
A short clarification on the free points: you are getting 10 for the purchase of the base + the stated amount from the upgrade page. So if you are purchsing a base with upgrade 3 you get 50 additional points to distribut.

It looks like it is a hard season for many teams on the financial site. One reason may be the sponsoring system(where you have to pay back money) and the other reason is that a few teams are much slower than expected(f.e. Larrousse,Dallara and Ligier).
Next season the sponsorship system will be different(no pay backs-only bonuses) and also the upgrade system will be slightly different, with small,medium and large upgrades which are depented on the amount of drivers who test the upgrade, so 1 driver=small, 2 drivers=medium and 3 drivers=large. All will have the same amount of chance to be succesful which will be around 70% i think. This should help the team owners to calculate their success a bit better.

Then Ferrari will sign Mika Salo for the remaining four rounds, even if Alboreto is denied a second crack in the Ferrari.

Wage for Salo: $600k

Hermann95 · Post by **Hermann95** » 24 Mar 2014, 17:17

Mika Salo is now 2nd driver at Ferrari. You can name a replacement for him for the NSX-Cup if you want.

Testing is open for the last time during this season. Dont forget to hand in your chassis design plans. I know many teams will wait until next season but teams like Mclaren,Williams or Benneton have no reason for this.

Also, Stefan is still punching above his weight, I'm surprised he regularly brings the car home. Obviously he's one of the surprises of the year in a car that's not capable of doing anything at the moment.

Hermann95 wrote:Rules & Chassis design

Here is my brand new chassis design system(CDS):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlKPxLinOTyTdGcyd1NwNXVpcVBpYk1QM2s4X1hzVGc&usp=sharing

It is really simple: You choose a base(mendatory) and an upgrade package(optional).
With the base you get a chassis and 10 "free points" which can be used to focus on a particular area of the car(grip, top speed, suspension, reliability or weight).
Each point will make your car better in the choosen area.(+1 for grip, top speed, suspension and reliability; -1 for weight).
The "upgrade packages" 1,2 or 3 for the choosen Base chassis will give you additional "free points".

Aging and "b-versions"
You will be able to make an complete overhaul of your car by making a so called "b-version". If you choose f.e. Upgrade package 1, and you want to make the b version you will have to pay the full price for the higher upgrade package, f.e. upgrade package 3, and you'll get those points. This is only possible twice a year and each chassis generation(A,B,C...) has to run at least 6 races before beeing able to upgrade it to the next version.

Aging is very simple: After the first year, the chassis will be 20% worse. After the second year it will be again 15% worse and from than on 10% per year.
f.e. Grip value of chassis XY:
Season 1(season in which its designed) 100
Season 2 80
Season 3 68
Season 3 61.2
Season 4 55.08
.
.
.
.

There will also be an "Engine swap penalty". It will be applied if you change your engine manufacturer and/or the amount of cylinders without redesign the chassis. A new chassis or a "b-version" will take the penalty away.

For 1992, each team will have to build a new chassis. From than on, it will be possible to carry it over to the next season(with the aging penalty applied).
You can start with designing your chassis for 1992 now(vie PM).
You will have to design your chassis before the last race of the season. If you design it after the last race and before the start of sponsor negotiations you will only get 1 pre-season test at the start of the next season. If you design it after sponsor negotiations you won't get any pre-season test!

Here are the regulations. The original post is on page 10 and i'll post a link to the spreadsheet on page 1.

Pycku: The email said that you have still 10 points left to distribute.

Will Dalmas get any payment for the last 2 races?

btw if you have any ideas for improving this series please post it here. I'm open for suggestions.

Aging is very simple: After the first year, the chassis will be 20% worse. After the second year it will be again 15% worse and from than on 10% per year.
f.e. Grip value of chassis XY:
Season 1(season in which its designed) 100
Season 2 80
Season 3 68
Season 3 61.2
Season 4 55.08
.
.
.
.

There will also be an "Engine swap penalty". It will be applied if you change your engine manufacturer and/or the amount of cylinders without redesign the chassis. A new chassis or a "b-version" will take the penalty away.

For 1992, each team will have to build a new chassis. From than on, it will be possible to carry it over to the next season(with the aging penalty applied).
You can start with designing your chassis for 1992 now(vie PM).
You will have to design your chassis before the last race of the season. If you design it after the last race and before the start of sponsor negotiations you will only get 1 pre-season test at the start of the next season. If you design it after sponsor negotiations you won't get any pre-season test!

Here are the regulations. The original post is on page 10 and i'll post a link to the spreadsheet on page 1.

Pycku: The email said that you have still 10 points left to distribute.

I can also confirm that Martini is being dropped to Test driver with immediate effect and Yannick Dalmas will replace him.

Will Dalmas get any payment for the last 2 races?

btw if you have any ideas for improving this series please post it here. I'm open for suggestions.

Thank you so much for posting that, Dalmas will get paid 50k per race for the last 2 races.

BMS Scuderia Italia-Dallara will be available to whoever wants to take it after the last round of the season.
JJ Lehto is still contracted to the team for another year and Yamaha will be powering the team again in 1992. These are the two multi-years contracts I signed when I took over the team at the end of 1990.
No decision has been made on the 1992 chassis. The team is a bit in debt, but will get $3.5m as prize money if it stays 11th in the championship.
And if nobody wants it, I guess an early fusion with Minardi could work.

Thanks for the fun moments by the way.

Need your help
You may have noticed that this series struggled in the last couple of weeks/months. No i'm at a point where i really need your help. At the moment i have the time and the motivation to run a series, but i'm not quite sure if it is this series. It was really fun to run this series but a few things didn't run quite well and so i really have to make a decision now. Should i keep this series running or not?
If i keep it i have to revamp quite a few things because some of them are to complex, time consuming or frustrating(I'm looking at you upgrade system).
If i drop it i'll defenitly run a new series, although i don't know which kind of series this'll be. I have a few things in mind but i really have to think about it first.

I'd really appreciate your feedback about this because it will help me making a decision.

Greats Hermann

This series has been great, a bit confusing (especially the 1992 chassis design sheet which I might have cocked-up on doing) but good fun. The complicated bits have made me lose interest as well but personally if you want run a management series for a more modern era of F1 e.g. the mid or late-2000s like KL-racing I'd be very happy to sign up on here. Or run a series for another motorsport series such as IndyCar/ChampCar.

I've really enjoyed this series. If you can stick with it, go for it!

Yeah, but that would lead to over-saturation, which is the main reason I've put my own series down for now. To get interest, there needs to be a number of USPs associated with a series, and if it was based in the time period in which you were suggesting he'd have to compete with three other series.

Although there are far too many management games at the moment, Hermann's is still very good and it would be a shame to see it go.

over-saturation is another reason i forgot to mention in my post above. We already have 4 F1 series in the 90's with 3 of them in the early/mid 90's. Pretty much every other period is also a bit saturated, at least with F1, and there are series, like f.e. Pi's, which are so good that you just can't compete with them

Btw. thanks for the feedback.

CRS is very unlikely to continue because i don't really have any motivation for this left... i also have to admit that i never had a real concept for running it, it was just ran on day by day decisions...

Well, I'd say we could use a (maybe even ASMF canon) classic IndyCar series, the whole situation is a bit barren on that front.

Obviously I would like to continue to have this series, but if you don't have the drive for it, cut off the life support now rather than begin a new half-arsed season. The latter would help nobody.
