Ecurie Maghreb is interested in buying one 156s engine from OSCA and one of the Ambrosiana chassis from Renzo.

If Renzo still has them for sale, we would also be interested in buying your leftover 555 engine/chassis combo. We are willing to spend 35,000 for the package.

The Manchester Guardian wrote:British Government finalises agreement with Alvis and Armstrong Siddeley; Extensive subsidies to be provided to struggling motor manufacturers on condition of technical assistance to official Grand Prix effort

A government spokesperson announced today the finalisation of a financial rescue scheme involving the Alvis Car and Engineering Company and Armstrong Siddeley Motors Ltd. The scheme is expected to secure the financial future of the two ailing manufacturers, both having been adversely affected by declining market demand and cancelled military commissions in the wake of heavy defence budget cuts.

The agreement is projected to preserve thousands of jobs in the Coventry area.

Per the stipulations of the agreement, both Alvis and Armstrong Siddeley are obligated to provide extensive engineering assistance to a planned, government sanctioned motor racing organization. "Her Majesty's Government feels that contemporary Grand Prix racing is a highly efficacious showcase for the unparalleled engineering strength and depth of technical talent of the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth", the spokesperson concluded.

The Sunday Times wrote:Government sanctioned racing effort christened as the "British Commonwealth Motorsport Association; appointments announced

Further details have emerged regarding the new and now-named government supported racing team, the British Commonwealth Motorsport Association, with the aforementioned team name along with senior managerial appointees having been announced today.

Reid Railton, the renowned designer of Malcolm Campbell's "Bluebird" land speed record car and the successful pre-war E.R.A. racing cars, is due to head the engineering department of the new outfit, whilst Sir Edward Palmerston, a former director of the Nuffield Organization, has been commissioned to manage the organisation overall.

Though undisclosed, the annual stipend to be provided for the operation of the outfit is expected to be substantial.

The Observer wrote:B.C.M.A. possesses extensive ties to British intelligence services

Sources revealed to The Observer on Wednesday that the B.C.M.A. commands a substantial proportion of the annual financial allotment accorded to MI6, suggesting ulterior motives in the otherwise unprecedented creation of the new officially sanctioned Grand Prix team.

Neither the team nor the relevant governmental apparatus were available for comment.

Rumours Of Australian Grand Prix Team Confirmed

Today, after many weeks of rumours circulating around the country, wealthy businessman Geoffrey Leketus has confirmed that he plans to run a Grand Prix team in this year's World Championship of Drivers, named Scuderia Australasia. Not much is known about the team, but Leketus has said himself that the team will try to compete in as many rounds as possible, but main priorities are racing in the British and Scottish Grands Prix. He has also said he has no intention of creating a chassis or engine in the near future, but it may become a possibility in the next few years.

We will keep you posted with more news about Scuderia Australasia.

So I plan to run as Scuderia Australasia, and the team will be a customer team, looking for any overpriced offers from other teams. I plan only to run 1 car, and I will prioritise racing in the British and Scottish Grands Prix, but I will compete in more if finances allow.

Name: Scuderia Australasia
Base: Sydney, Australia

Planned Events: As many as possible, but as stated twice earlier, I will prioritise running in the British and Scottish Grands Prix
Planned Drivers: If possible, I will wait to choose drivers until after the first RNG, as the team will most likely be crappy, and I don't want to ruin stuff for good drivers by making them drive in the slow cars I will most likely have.

I will confirm more info once I receive my finances.

P.S. I probably failed while making this. Pls don't hurt meh

As mentioned by pi314159, you have now got the O.S.C.A. engine. The remaining items will be transferred to you once Biscione confirms the sale.

As for British Commonwealth Motorsport Association and Ecurie Australasia, the posts are too long for me to quote here, but both were very clear

B.C.M.A. receive a budget of £400 000 (I presume the team base will be Coventry?), and Scuderia Australasia will receive £100 000.

Lancia can offer any prospective customers our brand spanking new D50 chassis, complete with DS50 engine, for just £45,000. Considering it's the newest design on the grid, this small premium is surely worth it.

Oh, and Erne will withdraw, the finances were just too precarious for an Irish smallholder to justify another season of playing with the big boys.

After putting it off for ages I have decided to make this my first attempt in a canon series.

Irish Racing Association formed

Wicklow businessmen and motoring enthusiasts Cathal Byrne and Arthur Doyle have formed an Irish national racing team questionably called the Irish Racing Association or IRA. They plan on competing at the very top of the motor racing world in the World Drivers' Championship with a single car purchased from one of the world's top manufacturers. They hope to expand their entry in future, as well as build their own car by next year at the earliest.

Name: Irish Racing Association
Base: Rathnew, Ireland

If it's possible we're willing to purchase the undamaged Erne Aston Martin AM-04 chassis 8 and Jaguar JFE-2 engine 14. We're also interested in Lancia's new D50 package if the latter option falls through.

We will be entering all rounds of the championship.

Our driver will be Desmond Titterington, who has impressed us with his performances in the Leinster Trophy in recent years.

Unfortunately, all our complete 555 packages are now gone, and I only have one Ferrari engine left, which we're using for our third car.

However, seeing as I've already quoted a price for each chassis, I'll go ahead and confirm the sale for £10,000. Ambrosiana A-002 chassis 3 is on its way to you.

Why won't you buy a Loyer-Porsche combination?
The Porsche engine is a complete new design and the chassis isn't too bad either. Combined it will only costs you about 46 000$(28 000 for the chassis, 18 000 for the engine).

Also, I plan on running the unspecified car from Britain to the end of the season, with a second car possibly being run at Britain and Scotland (although it is unlikely).

It's 8000, don't worry. But, if you give me 10000 instead, you can get a nice little brand new Cooper T40 extra! Have i told you the thing is revolutionary? *Spam of the worst kind*
But yeah, you're probably better of just paying 8000
If you need an engine, i could rent you one of the Jags for 1000 per race. But any damage, entry fees or transport costs are your responsability, we want it back at the end of the year in perfect condition. Still, a good deal, right? If you pay an additional 500 per race, you can ever get a second Cooper T40 on top of it!
The whole forum wrote:This, nobody wants your bloody Coopers

Since the Jaguar and Aston Martin package are both fast and reliable (judging by the 1954 results) Im up for the deal

Also, I'll take the Cooper with the Aston Martin

So, my finances once the deal is finalised:

Aston Martin chassis + Cooper chassis = 10 000
Jaguar Engine for AM chassis = 11 000
Extra Jaguar engine (if you have a spare) so I can field the Cooper for the British and Scottish Grands Prix = 2 000

My finances before the deal = 100 000
My finances after the deal = 87 000

Also, I'll veto what I said earlier about what rounds I'm competing in. I will compete in the full season with a second car fielded in the British and Scottish Grands Prix (if I can get another driver and engine, if This doesn't have a second Jag engine available.

The deal with ENB will only be made after Belgium, so please remind me if I forget about it
