Time to run the sponsor RNGs

Some of you have offers to accept from sponsors that couldn't find a deal at the end of this post.

Title Sponsors

John Player Special - 6,000,000
Lotus have accepted the automatic offer.

Elf - 5,000,000
Tyrrell

Surprisingly, Tyrrell were the only bid so Elf remain with them.

Marlboro - 4,000,000
1-60 McLaren
61-90 Ferrari
91-100 Williams

McLaren are favored as a three car entry.

RNG, 43 McLaren get the Marlboro title sponsor.

Martini - 4,000,000
1-60 Brabham
61-80 March
81-90 Shadow
91-98 Hesketh
99-100 Ensign

Brabham are the favoured team as a three car entry and because of their recent association.

RNG, 52 Martini stay with Brabham.

UOP - 3,500,000
1-50 BRM
51-75 March
76-95 Shadow
96-100 Penske

RNG, 13 UOP join BRM.

Jagermeister - 3,500,000
1-60 Surtees
61-99 Hesketh
100 AAW

Surtees are the only multi-car team left that made a bid, Hesketh also have a good look in thanks to their party lifestyle.

RNG, 73 Hesketh get their first ever sponsor.

Firestone - 3,000,000 (Obligated to use Firestone tires)
1-40 Amon
41-75 Maki
76-100 Trojan

Only the scrub teams made bids for the Firestone sponsorship.

RNG, 95 Trojan are the unexpected official partners of Firestone.

Motul - 3,000,000
1-50[/b Williams
[b]51-70 Amon
71-90 Penske
91-100 Ensign

RNG, 27 Motul align with Williams.

Bang & Olfsen - 3,000,000
1-90 March
91-98 Amon
99-100 AAW

March are the overwhelming favourite here.

RNG, 5 March

Embassy - 3,000,000
Hill

Hill Racing accept the offer to continue with Embassy.

Salora - 2,500,000
1-75 AAW
76-100 Maki

AAW are favoured as a Finn team.

RNG, 77 Seems patriotism isn't enough for AAW, Maki get the sponsorship.

National City Bank - 2,500,000
1-50 Penske
51-80 Ensign
81-100 Token

Last title sponsor available.

RNG, 75 Ensign signs with National City.

Hexagon - 2,000,000
Goldie Hexagon Racing

I forgot to include them as a sponsor. I would have had them as an auto-offer to Goldie Hexagon anyway so they get some money from them.

Associate Sponsors
Associates will offer double for title sponsorship if they choose a team that hasn't already found a title sponsor above.

Texaco - 600,000
1-40 McLaren
41-70 Brabham
71-90 Lotus
91-98 BRM
99 Maki
100 Goldie

RNG, 79 Lotus got both the best paying sponsors.

FINA x2 - 500,000
1-60 McLaren
61-90 BRM
91-99 Williams
100 Maki

FINA reject Tyrrell's bid because of their existing partnership with Elf.

RNG, 97 Williams get the first place with FINA, one more remains for the other three teams.

1-65 McLaren
66-95 BRM
96-100 Maki

RNG, 96 Surprise, FINA goes with the underdog again and choose Maki.

Agip - 400,000
1-50 Ferrari
51-70 McLaren
71-85 Brabham
86-95 Surtees
96-99 BRM
100 Ensign

Ferrari is favored as they are without a title sponsor and Agip sense the oppertunity of a bargin title sponsorship.

RNG, 42 Agip will double its offer to 800,000 to be Ferrari's title sponsor.

Matchbox - 350,000
1-90 BRM
91-100 Amon

BRM the overwhelming favourite.

RNG, 93 yet Matchbox choose Amon's team, they double the offer to 700,000 for title sponsorship.

Duckhams - 350,000
1-60 BRM
61-90 March
91-95 Hesketh
96-99 Ensign
100 Goldie

RNG, 79 Duckhams choose March.

AP Lockhead - 300,000
Hesketh

Hesketh are the only bid left. They get the sponsor.

Colt - 300,000
1-75 Brabham

1-80 Hill
81-100 Trojan

Theodore Racing Hong Kong - 250,000
Ensign

Ensign are the only bid remaining. They get the Theodore partnership.

Again, sorry to be a pedant, but TAG-Heuer wasn't on the original sponsor list (Aislabie just added it to his form), and more importantly didn't exist until 1985, (Heuer existed, but was tiny, while TAG was founded in 1977) so I would suggest removing it from the bidding (sorry Mclaren).

BioBiro · Post by **BioBiro** » 13 Nov 2016, 13:18

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes~~~! Firestone Trojan-Tauranac Racing with Castrol 8-)

. Title and associate sponsors in the bag. £3.3 million!

Ah, my bad - I simply couldn't find the sponsor list (I may or may not have been sober at the time (I'm a student so it's okay)) so I just found a picture of a Ferrari car on the Mighty Google.

All mistakes are entirely my own fault.

The irony is, I put the sponsor list on the 2nd post of the thread to make it easier to find.

I dropped the ball a little too, I should have spotted your error and ignored the bid. McLaren instead will get a offer from the one remaining sponsor, Titan Properties.

Yep, I discovered that afterwards when I went to look for my team finances. Not my proudest moment, but never mind.

Also, I may like to make some money by selling customer engines to other teams for the coming season, but only teams that finished below sixth in the previous year's WCC. Might that be okay?

Er... I promise I'll let you know in this part (chassis/engine), I just need to do some wheeling-dealing with my aluminium briefcase and filofax.

By the way, can I ask - how are the Lola T370s dished-out? Do we negotiate with you (via PM?) for them?

Sorry for all the questions!

Just make an offer, depending on how many teams want them, you will most likely get a deal.
