I take ROAL Motorsport.

ROAL buys two Tier 1 BMW 320TCs and equips them with BMW motors. So that's 4M left in the bank.

Most likely it's the foreign accent in "Zengo Motorsport" that is causing an error. And why that is happening is because our phpBB installation is not perfect...

Actually, you have 6M, because: every team starts with 1-5 engines. The engines will be from your car make, so you don't need to build new ones.

Also, here is some average testing times of tier 1 cars at Marrakech:

Citroen: 1.44.002
Chevrolet: 1.44.369
Honda: 1.44.445
BMW: 1.44.830
Lada: 1.45.071

I think it's time to do something that I've always wanted to do:

Triple 8 Race Engineering will, for the first time in their illustrious Touring Car history, enter the World Touring Car championship. We'd like to buy a single Tier 2 RML Chevrolet and run car number #888, and a Tier 8 RML Chevrolet with car number #88.

If our entry is denied however, we'll just take Citroen and be over with it

Your entry is accepted, but do you want engines as well, or do you want to cut costs and let the drivers push the cars?

Ah, we'll purchase a tier 2 engine for car #888, and a tier #8 engine for car #88.

Oh and if you don't mind, I think the prize money system needs a little bit of tweaking to make it more viable for the smaller teams in the medium-long term (something like 0.5, 0.45, 0.4, 0.35, 0.3, 0.25, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1 and 0.05 mill for the top 10 each race, and 5, 3.5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.75, 0.5 and 0.25 mill for the top 8 teams at the end of the year would be nice

Aces

Triple 8 are pleased to be accepted as part of the WTCC, and have aims to be the the top independent team in their first year of operating in the WTCC. We'll be operating out of our existing facilities in the United Kingdom, with Ludo Lacroix coming over from our V8 Supercar division in Australia to be team principal for 2014. Drivers and sponsorships will be announced at a later date when the market has been finalised.

Yes, but please confirm the number of your third car. Also, you'll have to buy a new engine.

Alright, let's give it a shot. Can I get Team Engstler? And will you have to buy spare engines during the season, in case some of them blow? If not I'll take two Tier 4 BMWS. If I have to have money for spare engines, make it a Tier 5 and a Tier 7.

Yes, but you can not have more than 2 engines if you have 1 car, 4 engines if you have 2 and so on... Also, you are in debt.
