F1 1974 - Driver RNGs Complete

BioBiro · Post by **BioBiro** » 15 Nov 2016, 21:48

Trojan would like to alter their entry to two full-time entries, using the number 42 for their second car.

Trojan will be manufacturing their own engines in their debut season – a tier four unit, with the focus being on power.

We would be delighted to hear from other teams interested in using our engines, and would be willing to sell our engines for just £275,000 per unit.

The first customer to purchase three or more of our engines will be allowed to make all decisions on which upgrades we (as we schedule them) perform on the engine's development throughout 1974. Should we increase power, or should we work on superior reliability? You make the calls, not us - because we care about our priority customers.

Surtees Plans
Chassis
Surtees TS14A, Two of them will be for our team, while you can buy the third one so we can get extra $$$ so we use the Surtees' TS14A we already own
Engine
Brand New Tier 1 Superfast Cosworth (600,000)
Tires
Goodyear (150,000)

Ensign's current plans
Engine: Year-old Cosworth engine (100 000)
Tyres: Goodyear (150 000)

Ensign will stick with the 1973 chassis for the time being. I assume we can build a new chassis during the season if the funds are there?

BRABHAM
We will develop a new tier 4 chassis (BT44) and build three of them. (7,500,000+225,000)
We will not build spare cars at this moment.

We will buy two brand new Cosworth engines and one year-old model. (1,200,000+100,000)

Goodyear tyres (150,000)

Brabham wishes to sell the old BT42 chassis for 650,000 per car. Potential buyers should remember that we are talking about a car that finished the last round of 1973 season on podium at the hands of Carlos Reutemann.

Maki will design a tier 3 engine for 3,200,000, with a focus on power. We will built two of those. All units will be sold at 370,000, price negotiable, and the tyres will be Firestone. We will wait and see for chassis.

Williams will design a Tier 6 chassis focusing on Aero and Reliability We will build 2 of these chassis for the season. We will buy 2 brand new Cosworth engines and Equip the car with Goodyear rubber.

We will also put both of our last year cars for sale for 400,000 each.

March will be running new Cosworth engines, Goodyear tyres and will be building two 741 chassis, to Tier 4 spec, focussing on chassis and reliability.

We will be putting lasts year's 731 chassis (good condition, one careful owner) for sale at the bargain price of 525000 350000 and also will build customer 741 chassis upon request priced at 880000 (these are high quality chassis hence the markup, sorry about the dodgy serial numbers). Remember, these March chassis are reliable, well-tested chassis that have been scoring points in Grand Prix racing since 1970, so are quality products, hence the high prices compared to some other, lesser designs.

Build cost is 1/10 of development so your total costs are actually (7,500,000 + 2,250,000) just so you're aware.

Correct you can development and build new chassis at any point. There will be prize money awarded at each race too.

Sold 2 BRM P200 3.0 V12 engines to Shadow +1,200,000

A carton of Embassy cigarettes
and a jar of pesto.

If i counted correct, that would cost me 13,950?

2 of the BRM P160E will be kept, one will be run as a third car, the other will be kept as a spare. (does the old car include BRM P142 3.0 V12 engines? If that is not the case i would like to build 2 additional P200 engines, as this should still be in my budget limit)
The third P160E will be sold. Only serious offers will be considered. We'd like to know what Trojan is willing to offer for this car. (but we kind of need confirmation on wheter or not old engines are included, as the price will depend on that)

Edit: of course, new engines can also be bought for 550,000 (British teams only)

Old engines will not be included.

It's a deal! I could give you a discount if you wanted to buy the second one too, just make an offer and we'll see if it works out.

BRABHAM still has ONE 1973-spec BT42 chassis for sale (650,000)!

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 16 Nov 2016, 18:49

March is now offering a discount on it's 731 chassis, lowering its price from 525000 to a crazy 350000, a 33% saving on a quality chassis. There is only one available, so don't delay!

(and yes, I know the adverts are annoying)

Deal accepted. This means BRM will construct 2 additional engines.

Also we have a deal with Trojan concerning our old cars, which biobiro will announce soon.

My calculations have been updated in my earlier post.

BioBiro · Post by **BioBiro** » 16 Nov 2016, 22:47

Trojan and BRM have negotiated a last-minute deal, where we will be purchasing all three of their P160Es for £1,450,000, using the third chassis as our rolling spare.

We retract our bids for two Lola T370s, and hope that this helps the AAW, Embassy Hill and Token teams by leaving more of those cars available for them to purchase.

We apologise to the organisers for this amendment, and also to the Surtees team with whom we were in negotiations and have had to pull-out.

We would also like to manufacture two of our Trojan V8 engines - quickly becoming known around the paddock as the 'DFV beaters' - for our own use in our cars.

Aislabie · Post by **Aislabie** » 16 Nov 2016, 22:55

And also two brand new engines for our newer cars and two one year old to 006 and 005

And we pick Goodyear as our tyre supporter

Turns out I forgot to add your engine development cost to my spreadsheet. Your're calculation is correct and I have updated your budget accordingly.

Anyway, all budgets are now up to date as of this post.

Only Penske are yet to post any plans. I also need some extra information from Parnelli (Tires) and Token (Are you purchasing anything for your part time entry or just focusing on the full-time #99?).

I will give you till Friday evening where we will move onto the fun of driver bidding.

So looks like all chassis and engine deals have been sorted out, just a couple of other details I still need to know by tomorrow evening.

Parnelli
You just need to decide between Goodyear and Firestone tires. If you don't by then you'll be given Firestones.

Token
You haven't purchased enough chassis or engines for your 2nd part-time entry. Until you do, you won't be able to assign any drivers in that entry or enter any meetings with it.
