Grand Prix Rejects

This wrote:I'd like to request entering a second privateer. Ecurie Maarsbergen, running a Porsche 1600 GS Carrera GT and a Super 90, both with a roof and no bumpers. Because we need orange cars! Drivers in order of preference:
1600:
Rob Slotemaker
Wolfgang Seidel
90:
Toine Hezemans (i doubt if he was already active, the wiki just says 'sixties' but doesn't specify a year)
Henk Van Zalinge
Cars will be #11 and #12

Also, i will change the Ecurie Francorchamps Ferrari to #20

No problems here, I will allow anyone to run the 1600, it will allow natural early progression into the factory Porsche family if they perform well.

I can also announce the 3rd driver for our team, as part of our expanding globe policy,
Cuban driver, Constantino Silvio Arena. aged 23.

He will be on the teams roster but as of yet unattached to a specific car. We still wish to hear back from the USSR triplets if they have any interest in Porsche.
Porsche want to see the world united through racing and can't see any negative ramifications for backing eastern block drivers whatsoever.

Since it seems that there's not going to be a lot of new entries, I might as well finalise the calendar and announce that you have until the next Wednesday (13th May) to sign drivers for the remaining seats and post liveries or livery plans. Just remember the livery restrictions detailed in the first post. I also need the racing number of the All American Eagles Shelby Cobra.

I'm introducing a new rule where if a manufacturer fails to respond to a limited-model car request from a privateer within 72 hours the privateer gets the car automatically. In the case of super-limited models the waiting time is 120 hours, but only if I haven't temporarily restricted the production of the particular model. If a manufacturer fails to respond to five requests in a row the user controlling it will lose his position and the manufacturer control will be given to a suitable applicant.

Also, Ford Falcon Holman & Moody Challenger 1 has reached its production limit. It, like the Challenger 3 late in the year, was only a one-off in real life, but since it's the only Falcon variant available in early 1962 that is even remotely competitive against its class opposition I allowed the construction of further examples.

Here's the final calendar. The number stated after each circuit means the maximum amount of cars that can start a single race; depending on the amount of entrants I'll run 2 to 4 races based on the competition classes. Each race will be roughly 150 kilometers in length.

16th-18th March: Warwick Farm Raceway, Warwick Farm, New South Wales, Australia (28)
6th-8th April: Prince George Circuit, East London, South Africa (28)
27th-29th April: Autodromo di Monza, Monza, Italy (30)
11th-13th May: Circuit de Rouen-Les Essarts, Rouen, France (30+)
8th-10th June: Brands Hatch, Swanley, Kent, United Kingdom (30)
29th June-1st July: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Francorchamps, Belgium (30+)
27th-29th July: Roskilde Ring, Roskilde, Denmark (28)
10th-12th August: Nürburgring, Nürburg, West Germany (30+)
7th-8th September: Mosport Park, Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada (30+)
21st-23rd September: Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA (28)
12th-14th October: Autódromo de la Magdalena Mixhuca, Mexico City, Mexico (30+)
2nd-4th November: Autódromo Municipal Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina (30+)

Entering for Australia:
Fiat Abarth 850 TC SS #8, driven by Gaetano Starrabba (ITA)
Fiat Abarth 850 TC SS #9, driven by Syd van der Vyver (SAF)
Fiat Abarth 850 TC SS #10, driven by Paul Russo (USA)

I am going to copypaste this post a few times down the season. :-p

Shelby will be present with two cars for the first 6 races.

#39 Gerson Alarcón Santana
#40 Alvaro Mazzacane Sr.

And a reminder: manufacturer teams can have active entries for a maximum of six races at any given time. Once one race where your cars took part has been run you can enter the seventh one, and so on. For privateers this limit is two races. It's perfectly possible to enter all of the races with both types of teams, but you need to stay active to "renew" your entries.

Lotus will enter all three cars for the first six races:

Lotus 23 #14, driven by Peter Arundell (GBR)
Lotus 23 #15, driven by Denny Hulme (NZL)
Lotus 23 #16, driven by Hachiman Setou (JPN)

We also announce our intention to sign Al Pease as a reserve driver.

Ecurie Maarsbergen enters the first 2 races with:
Porsche 356B 1600 GS Carrera GT #11, driven by Rob Slotemaker (NED)
Porsche 356B Super 90 #12, driven by Henk van Zalinge (NED)

Ecurie Francorchamps will not enter the overseas races, unless Ferrari and/or Lotus specifically asks us to enter their privateer cars.

Frist of all, can we bump up the calendar list and entry list towards the front 2 posts? Because otherwise the list is gonna get drowned among all the posts within a month...

BMC will enter all 5 of its cars for the first 6 rounds:

#56 Austin-Healey 3000 driven by Heinz Schiller
#58 MGA 1600 Twin-Cam driven by Paddy Hopkirk
#84 MG Midget 950 driven by John Sprinzel
#87 Mini Cooper driven by Warwick Banks
#88 Mini Cooper driven by Franck Gardner (Rounds 1-2) and John Rhodes (Rounds 3-6)

Auto RUF will not start racing until the European Rounds, so I won't post any intentions for that privateer for now

Sunbeam Talbot will enter the following cars for the round at Australia:
Sunbeam Alpine Series II racing #44, driven by George "Doc" Shepherd (GBR)
Sunbeam Alpine Series II racing #45, driven by Ralph Bowyer (USA)

The #46 car driven by John Davies will likely remain testing in the United Kingdom until the French round as Sunbeam's owners wish to evaluate his circuit racing skills further by having him contest the first few races of the BSCC.

Scuderia Ferrari SpA SEFAC will run cars #22, #23, #27 and #28 with their designated drivers at Australia, South Africa, Italy, France, United Kingdom and Belgium.

Meanwhile, Ecurie Voeckler will begin their season in South Africa with cars #3 & #4, and continue onto Italy.

Scuderia Filipinetti will enter into Australia and South Africa with Fausti driving the #19

AC Cars will enter the first 6 races with the following combination

AC Ace 2.6/V #90, driven by Jack Fairman (GBR)
AC Ace 2.6/V #91, driven by Peter Ryan (CAN)
AC Ace 2.6/V #92, driven by Colin Davis (GBR)
AC Ace 2.6/V #93, driven by Sidney Hunter (GBR)

Meanwhile Anglo-Racing Engineering will enter the first 2 races with the following

MG A 1600 Twin-Cam #66, driven by Alan Foster (GBR)
Mini Cooper #67, driven by John Love (RHO)

James Zimmer will drive the ZRE Lotus in Australia and South Africa.

PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE CHANGED MY ENTRY LIST FOR THE FIRST 6 RACES IN THE POST.

Liefeld and Associates will enter Marshall Liefeld's #74 Mini Cooper on Brands Hatch only.

And the livery will be red with British racing green stripes.

I'll enter for round 1 (for now)

Car: Jaguar Mark 2
Team: P.J. Sargent
Driver: Peter Sargent
Car number 810
Livery: Plain green as in your screenshot with Union Jack little flag on engine cover. Numbers on both side of the car

I hope this is okay

Alfa Corse will present the following lineup for Australia

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #75: Henry C. Bradley
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #76: Karl Foitek
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #77: driven by Pedro Bello

Oscar A. Galvez have confirmed that he'll drive the #75 at Italy, Belguim, Germany, USA, Mexico and Argentina

Regarding liveries, Lotus will obviously be using the default livery. IRA requests a livery that looks like this:

The race calendar and entry lists have been moved to the bottom of the first post in this thread. I decided to name each race after a prominent automobile or motorsport club of each country. If I made some mistakes with non-English languages, please post your corrections here.

Aston Martin will enter the first six rounds with the following cars:

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato #5 / Peter Harper (GBR)
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato #6 / Jack Sears (GBR)
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato #7 / John Campbell-Jones (GBR)

All American Eagles/Chevrolet plan:

We'll enter the RAC Brands Hatch Sprint Race with Peter Sutcliffe as our driver #78. (Shelby Cobra 260ci #78/All American Eagles/ Peter Sutcliffe (GBR).
We'll enter the Course Sprint RACB de Spa-Francorchamps with Jim Wester as our driver #78. (Shelby Cobra 260ci #78/All American Eagles/ Jim Wester (USA).

As for the livery, black and red for the AC Cobra, while the Chevrolet will be the grey, a bit like the GT4 car.

NART will enter Pedro Rodriguez in both rounds, while Pabst will enter the Italian round only.
Ferrari 250 GTO #24/North American Racing Team/Pedro Rodriguez (MEX) (for all the rounds)

And for Italy only:
Ferrari 250 GTO #18/North American Racing Team/Augie Pabst (USA).

This is Alfa Corse's lineup for the rounds at Italy, Belgium, Germany, USA, Mexico and Argentina

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #75: Oscar A. Galvez
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #76: Karl Foitek
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #77: Pedro Bello

For the remaining rounds (RSA, FRA, UK, DEN and CAN ), the lineup will be the same at AUS, which means

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #75: Henry C. Bradley
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #76: Karl Foitek
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Sprint Speciale #77: Pedro Bello

Entry list updated.

Here's some liveries:
Ecurie Maarsbergen (based on This's drafts, made by me)



Ecurie Francorchamps (based on This's drafts, made by me)



Donald Healey Motor Company (by CaptainGetz12)


Could use some fixes...

British Motor Corporation (by CaptainGetz12)





Auto Ruf (by CaptainGetz12)

Jaguar will enter cars #32, #33 and #34 with their respective drivers for the first six rounds of the season.

In regards to the livery, I'd be fine with something resembling the livery in the preview.

Société Automobiles Alpine will enter the first six rounds with the #110, #111 and #112 with their respective drivers.
About the livery, I will do it later this weekend.

Jens König will enter the Italian and German races. I will take care of this livery too.

The Aston Martins are complete.

With no response from Klon, I am going to give a last bording call. Does anyone have a driver they feel is man enough to handle a Porsche.

You forgot to flip the number on the driver's side of the car, however I fixed this after taking the screenie.

With Regards to the Livery AC will use the livery used in the car preview page

Meanwhile Anglo-Racing Engineering will use a livery Along these lines

Porsche have decided to go for a local driver for the first round in Australia, if possible running 1961 Aussie Touring car champion Bill Pitt to drive the number 31.

Final Entry for Round 1:

Bill Pitt #31
Edgar Barth #47
Hans Hermann #48
Constantino Silvio Arena #49

A couple of liveries:
Peter Sargent


Marshall Liefeld


Also, if anyone else makes a Jaguar Mark 2 livery, here's a much cleaner "template" to work on: http://formularejects.com/uploader/repo ... argent.bmp

I redid the Austin Healey Livery for BMC. Here is the link:

Sargent's car is nice, thanks

After much deliberation, Triumph would like Brian Naylor and Gerry Ashmore to drive our two cars for the first six races of the year. The car will be blue and grey.

On the other hand, Douglas-Cliff Racing will skip the first event of the season due to travel cost, and will instead race in South Africa with Tony Douglas as the driver.

A couple of more liveries (this isn't dead yet!):
Team Lotus Engineering


Irish Racing Automobiles

The limitations of the template didn't allow for a narrow stripe to go around the car, so I went with this design... if it's too hideous I can change it.

All American Eagles

Yes, it's not the most attractive livery I've seen. I think an all-green car like the preview on the first page will do better. Thanks anyway

Seems i made a mistake in my livery request too, the #11 bumper was intended to be grey too. (basically the exact opposite of the livery in the template). My apologies for that.

Progress is extremely slow due to lack of motivation and spare time. However, here's a couple of more liveries again (Slotemaker's livery fixed + Jaguar Cars Ltd.)

And I finally caught up with the existing livery requests.

AC Cars Ltd.


Standard Triumph Ltd.


The template didn't feasibly allow multiple body colours, so instead I made the other car grey and the other blue.
