That's brilliant, thank you! Particularly love the Manx reference on the front wing and side pod.

Thank TCBY, he made the livery. I only put it into the game

Also, it would be helpful if Euromotor, Ice and Drome (Ataxia's probably going to make his own livery for Dandelion) could provide livery plans so i can start on them (also I see that Teesside Motorsport is missing from the opening page despite having entered on time- they also haven't provided a livery plan)

The Rescale Formula H World Championship Season Preview by ESPN
The wait is almost over: The cars have been unveiled, the Pre-season test in Bahrain is done and the teams are heading out to Melbourne for Round 1 of the championship. And what better way to introduce you to this new hopefully exciting championship than presenting the 13 teams that will be running?
This is the Rescale Formula H World Championship preview, brought to you by ESPN.com![]()
Aguri Suzuki isn't a guy that gives up that easily, does he? His F1 effort ended in shambles, and his Formula E effort has been taken over by Techeetah, but as the saying goes: "Third time's the charm". Some of the team's choices are, however, pretty puzzling: While Alex Lynn isn't a bad driver at all, the main issue will be Kobayashi, returning to world racing from Japan. If both drivers can get their grips back, they could be championship contenders. We just hope that Aguri doesn't disappear after two seasons or so...
Renault has officially entered every type of motorsport possible: F1, Formula E, Touring Cars (even though only in Argentina) and now Formula H: Only Sports cars and IndyCars are still waiting. For this season, Renault has gone for a mix of youth and experience in Luca Ghiotto and Robert Kubica. They have, however, their work cut out from them, as Ghiotto is young but prone to mistakes and Kubica hasn't touched an open-wheeler since his horrifying rally crash in 2011. On the flip side of the coin, though, Kubica is an F1 race winner, and Ghiotto is fast and very aggressive. If luck is on their side, they can hope for a high spot in the standings.
Rising electric cars manufacturer NIO have been competing in Formula E since its inaugural season, and recently announced the creation of a division that focuses on the development of hydrogen cars. As a result, the NIO racing department got to work. Unlike other teams, NIO hasn't left their comfort zone that much, by signing their current Formula E lineup of 2014-15 champion Nelson Piquet, Jr. and Oliver Turvey. Chinese people are very superstitious, and it's possible that the choices made by the team had "luck" as their motivation.
This team is full of unknowns: We only know for sure that the team is backed by Angolan oil giant Sonangol, but for the rest... Is a complete mystery: Both drivers haven't raced in motorsport's big leagues in a long time and their current form is unknown. If their performance are good, then good for them, if not... Well, that was expected, was it?![]()
The second team from Japan, this is definitely a team to look out for, as this is their first official venture outside of the Land of the Rising Sun. Unless you are a major motorsport nerd, it's very unlikely you've heard about the team or the drivers. Their biggest challenge, however, is how they're gonna get used to the different environment of a more competitive series. Will they be a genuine surprise or, like English footballer Joey Barton said, "brilliant on the old YouTube. Cat piss in reality".
To say that McLaren is enduring a difficult time, is an understatement: From losing Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes in 2013, to be the worst car in the F1 grid in 2017, it's amazing to think that, just a few years prior, they were championship contenders. With all this disappointment, it's understandable if they want to add some sweetness to the ocean of bitterness. Sebastien Buemi is the current Formula E champion and championship leader and Jenson Button is currently McLaren's reserve driver, scheduled to race in the Monaco Grand Prix, replacing Fernando Alonso, busy at Indianapolis. Both drivers are good on their own, and Buemi is our N°1 favorite for the final victory.
A collaboration between PREMA Powerteam and Ferrari materialized into Scuderia Idrogeno. Charles Leclerc and Antonio Fuoco are the hottest young prospects of racing: the Monegasque driver was uberquick in both GP3 and what it is now known as Formula 2, and Fuoco has shown that he has pace, but what he lacks is luck. Leclerc is our N°2 favorite for this season.
Ah, Lola... Like Leyton Orient FC, it's amazing what a single mistake can ruin an historic company. Before 1997, Lola had everything: Wins at Indy, IndyCar championships, Class wins at Le Mans, and American Le Mans Series titles (now known as the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship). Then, the late Eric Broadley tried to enter in F1, and we all know what happened. Lola almost went bankrupt from the farce, and it led to the slow decline that saw the company close in 2012. But a man can dream, right? And Sean McDarman is that man. A man with a ton of money. His objective is simple: Clear the Lola name from the 1997 fail, and has hired noted NASCAR driver Douglas Mann and his sister Pippa. Will Lola finally erase their bad legacy?![]()
We don't know what's the deal with Indonesian motorsports, but, apparently, is a thing now. Backed up by Pertamina and KFC Indonesia, the lineup is composed of F2 veteran Sean Gelael and the first Indonesian F1 driver (and fan-favorite) Rio Haryanto. While the first is decent, Haryanto is a bit of an unknown, as he drove in a Manor, which... wasn't the best team in F1 in 2016, to be fair. However, he can still be a good surprise, so not all hope is lost for him.
Why is Euromotor even bothering? They're gonna be crap, end of the story.
Here's another unknown team! Ice made headlines before the Pre-Season testing, when they had announced that Finnish driver Markus Niemela will be driving for them. Past a few months, and we are noticed by medics that because of brain damages gained during a crash, he was unfit to race, forcing the signing of another driver in Matias Laine. Apart from him, the team also signed one-win wonder Heikki Kovalainen, also returning from Japanese racing along with Kobayashi. The guy won the 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, his only blaze of glory in a season where he was completely overshadowed by a 23-year-old Lewis Hamilton. This time, he will make sure that no driver much younger than him will make him lame.
A french team with a french engine and an all-french lineup. No, this is not Prost or Ligier, but Drome Autosport. However, unlike Prost, they had made sure to not fall down when a major sponsor leaves. Charles Pic has shown some bits of brilliance in 2012-2013, where he raced with two woeful teams in Marussia and Caterham while Arthur Pic hasn't raced since GP2 in 2016. The team, however, was down-to-earth with its ambitions, stating that even points are good for the team. We hope this is the case.
By looking from the outside, this team looks like a joke, but when you read their lineup, it's clear they have taken this job very seriously. We all know how good Nick Heidfeld currently is at Formula E, while Mitch Evans needs to prove to everyone that he isn't a waste of space like in Formula E (or maybe just balance the overall bad performances of Jaguar with Teesside).
This rounds up our season preview. You know the names, now get ready! See you in Australia!
