And here come the results of the Motorola 300 from Gateway Motorsport Park. And I can say this; there were more finishers than at the last race:

Points standings and else will come later!

Here are a few words after three rounds of the Indy Championship Series:

- The best chassis seems to come from Lola, and it doesn't to matter which model it is. Although you can be sure that the newest model, the Lola B15/00 is surely the best Lola chassis. Some teams have the money to buy one...
- You can't do anything wrong with a Cosworth, Honda or Toyota unit in your back. Although I wouldn't underestimate the Ford engine...
- Remember, you can always buy new stuff for your drivers.
- And don't forget to give me feedback. Not that I'm whoring for it, but I want to know what you guys think about the championship. ;)

Time for populism up in this thread. :mrgreen:

BILD wrote:United States Of Ardaoglu

American sport fans are startled: our Kenan dominates their sport! After winning the Motorola 300, Ardaoglu has a dominating lead in the championship standings and according to our columnist Nick Heidfeld is the number one favourite to win the championship. After Sebastian [Vettel]'s third F1 world title last year, Germany continues to be the strongest force in racing.


So far, I like this series - races are exciting and there is not too much you can do about that reliability, I know that from my experience.

Although I must dare ask something: would you mind if someone, i.e. me, were to take over the Street Racing Leauge?

No! In fact, I think I can even upload the proper carsets for SRL. So I wouldn't mind someone trying to bring SRL to it's proper end.

Phoenix wrote:How many credits does Rockstar Engineering have and what could be bought with them?


Rockstar Engineering currently has 77.000$. I'm not too conclusive yet, whether you can sell you chassis for a full price, or only for half the price. Because selling used chassis or engines for a full price would make things too easy, in my opinion. But maybe you think otherwise ;).

BTW, I wonder why no one has used the Aston Martin engine yet. It has already proven itself in the "legendary" Aston Martin AMR-01. :lol:

And since we are only two races away from the Indy 500, it's time to announce the rule for one-off entries:

Every team, even teams that aren't entered in the ICS, can "lease" a chassis-engine combination for 10% of the price of a full/part-time entry. A driver also costs 10% of its normal price. But the discount only applies to Indy. If you want to do more races, you'll have to pay 500.000 $ for any new car (Not that it would matter much, because teams technically get 500.000 $ for each new car they enter). Anyone can enter their one-off entries before pole day, so go ahead! After all, the winner get 250.000 $!

And, off we go to this big oval in India.

ESPN wrote:McReynolds takes pole - again!

Ryan McReynolds took once again the pole for tomorrow's Cessna 400 at the Kansas Speedway. The young Canadian delivered a pretty fast lap around the 1.5 mile long oval, being two tenths faster than second placed Ralf Schumacher. The big disappoinment of the qualifying was Dave Anderson. The two-time race winner qualified only on 30th place, thus he'll have to do some hard work if he wants to pass Kenan Ardaoglu in the points standings. Said Ardaoglu qualified on 4th place, giving him a good chance to build up his points lead.

Dreadnought Racing would like the following updates (after Kansas):

David Lee: +1 Cornering, +1 Reliability
Veronika Asimov: +1 Reliability

Hobson Tarantino is reportedly furious about his lack of pace (his real-life counterpart says I am actively trying to make him fail).

I'm sorry, but no upgrades on drivers are allowed (...yet).* But you can still buy a new chassis or a new engine. The old ones can be sold for half the purchase price.

* So we don't see too much gap between successful and not so successful drivers.

How much money does Cassidy Racing have to spend, and can we spend it on things other than the chassis or engine? If not, can I buy new ones but pretend it's just an upgrade and that I still have the Panoz-Toyota combination?

Cassidy Racing currently has 101.000 $. But sorry, you can only spend it on a new engine or a new chassis. But maybe we should discuss upgrades for drivers. If the majority of teams are content with that, I'm gonna allow that.

The balances can also be found here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4934#p151127

Normally I planned it for the off-season, but when several teams demand it, I gonna think of a fitting rule for that. Perhaps you can upgrade your driver after the Texas 400, but only if I can be sure that the majority of teams here are in favour of it.

Count me as in favour of upgrading drivers. Doesn't seem fair that those with good drivers but a bad car can improve but those with crap drivers but good cars can't.

And now some newsbits from ESPN Speedweek:

Bob Jenkins: "Hi everyone, I'm Bob Jenkins, bringing you news from the world of motorsport. And today we start with news from the Indy Championship Series. The new open-wheel series in America has been going pretty well. Attendances are good, and the tv ratings on ABC and ESPN are also pretty decent. Things are looking good so close to the end of the road to Indy. But there are some minor issues with the series. How is ICS president Walther Williams going to face them? Let's take a look. Jack Arute met him at the ICS headquarters in Victoria, Texas."

Jack Arute: "I'm here with ICS president Walther Williams, and we're going to talk about some issues with the ICS. But first, I wanna ask you about your opinion of the first couple of rounds of this season."

Walther Williams: "Well Jack, I think we have seen great action so far. There were exciting battles in each race, and I think that we can keep up with this performance."

Arute: "But there are some issues here, such as the high attrition rates at each race, caused by accidents or technical malfunctions. How do you want to counter these?"

Williams: "There isn't much we can do about the technical malfunctions for now. But I'm definitely gonna do something about driver quality. Don't get me wrong, we have a very competetive grid here, but I think the guys need some extra training in order to avoid situations that can potentially lead to disaster."

Arute: "What will the extra training look like?"

Williams: "I have decided to lift the testing ban a bit. I'm gonna allow teams to do their own special testing sessions, in order to sharpen some skills."*

Arute: "When will these special tests take place?"

Williams: "The week after the Mobil 1 400 at the Texas Motor Speedway."

Arute: "But there are some more issues with some chassis manufacturers."

Williams: "Yes. Lola and Reynard weren't too pleased with the lack of demand for their 2015-spec chassis. They even threatened to pull out after this season. I could make them change their minds, but I can understand their anger. They have produced lots of new chassis, but no one is willing to buy them."

Arute: "Do you have a solution for that."

Williams: "Of course I do. And here is the offer for any owners of a pre-2015-spec Lola or Reynard. I'll give you 50% of the original price of your chassis, when you purchase a 2015-spec Lola or Reynard."

Arute: "Why doesn't this offer apply to Panoz or Swift owners?"

Williams: "Because Panoz and Swift doesn't seem to have problems to sell new chassis. But I talked to Panoz and Swift before this interview. Naturally they weren't too pleased, but they agreed to my proposal as long as it keeps the competition on board."

Arute: "Well thank you Mr. Williams for this interview, and we now go back to our newsroom."


Jenkins: "After our break, ESPN Speedweek continues with more exciting news from the world of motorsport."

* This means you'll be able to upgrade your drivers after the race at the Texas Motor Speedway.

Well, I can arrange tests for each team, but "special testing session" was just an euphemism for "drivers upgrade". ;)

And now I remind you that you can upgrade your driver's skills. But remember, you can only acquire up to 30 skill points. You can also only buy 10 per each skill (acceleration, cornering and reliability), because xkoranate doesn't accept skill levels over 10. Which BTW means for Klon that he'll have to reassign Ralf Schumacher's skills. Sorry about that! And now to add some further news before the Indy 500, I'll enter the ICS myself!

ESPN wrote:ICS President enters the series as a team owner!

ICS President Walther Williams has announced his entry into the Indy Championship Series as a team owner. Starting from the Indy 500 on, he'll enter all races for the rest of the season. While his choice of a brand-new Lola B15/00 makes sense, his Aston Martin engine doesn't. "Well, Aston is serious about developing their Indy engine, so I decided to assist them in doing so.", explained Williams, yet he owed the journalists some answers about the alledged unreliability of the engine.

The new "Williams-AMR" team will field two drivers. One driver will be last year's USUC (OT: Subtle, isn't it...) Sprint Car champion, O.N. Duck III., grandson of the legendary race driver, O.N. Duck. The other driver will British veteran driver John Bean. "Mr. Bean" isn't known for his speed, but for his ability to bring his car back in more than just one piece. "I think we've made the right choice with our drivers. One young rookie who can push the car to its limits, and one veteran who can help develop it.", expressed Williams, although it remains to be seen whether he'll be right with his word.


And for transparancy:

Williams-AMR
Chassis: Lola B15/00 (250.000 $ each)
Engine: Aston Martin (55.000 $ each)
Drivers: O.N. Duck III. (USA)(A: 7; C:3 ; R: 0) (100.000 $); John Bean (UK)(A: 1; C:3; R:10) (140.000 $)
Credit: 150.000 $

Hobson Tarantino is reportedly furious about his lack of pace (his real-life counterpart says I am actively trying to make him fail).


These updates are still wanted.
