From the remaining races, only the New Zealand and Australian rounds will feature prequalifying.

For the next 2 races, i want to give the chance to the 'commie' drivers, the next race will see the pairing Carlos Marquez (Cuban) and Frederico Angeli (Argentinian), whilst the race thereafter will see Josip Stalic (Yugoslavia) and Friedl Kallström (Sweden)
After that, Sung and Van Dycke will return. The regular drivers are available for other teams in the meantime.

Petrus Handoyo will back at the seat of #500 for Malaysian and Indonesian round. Generic would be back for the rest of the season after that

Well, that 4th place was a fluke.

...I'm only going to accept that because you haven't had any previous driver changes during this season.

Also, forgot to mention that Sam Winton has recovered from his injuries and will return to the USD cockpit by default unless SeedStriker specifies otherwise.

Is it okay if I request van Dycke to drive for my team during those races?

FYI, they won't come free due to being voluntary replacements. Van Dycke costs 430 CHF per race and Jong-Sung 225 CHF per race. The same applies to Stalic and Marquez as well; 255 CHF has been deducted from GLB's bank account.

No problem

Do Nascimento will remain at the seat for the next round and we are going to spend 1x of reliablity to her

Caraxl Racing's budget is now 420, instead of 560 I believe (I'm not asking to ask for the lost money actually). Now about this volunteery replacement comes with cost, which you never tell us before..... How is it exactly works?

Charging extra salary for using voluntary mid-season replacements was implemented at the start of the 1992 season to prevent people from abusing the free test driver system by first hiring a cheap driver for the race seat and a more expensive driver for the test seat, then swapping them after a few races for increased performance without having to pay anything for it. Obviously this is not always the case, as people have been swapping good drivers to worse ones for various other reasons.

The formula is very simple: the team has to pay a percentage amount of the driver's total season salary based on how many races they will employ the driver for. For example, this year 1 GP forms 5% of the whole season, so for every race you voluntarily employ a driver who wasn't originally nominated as a race driver you have to pay 5% of his/her total salary.

Petrus Handoyo's full-season salary would be 1400 CHF, and as you're running him voluntarily in two races (which form 10% of the calendar in total) you have to pay 10% of it, which is the 140 CHF that you noticed to have gone missing from your budget.

I'd like to have two more race performance upgrades for José Pablo Mazzacane.

I just wanted to do this because these are possibly the last races of this series, so these drivers can get a chance to prove themselves. And considering i'm out of pre-qualifying at the moment.
Let's just say that if a new series evolves from this, all 4 of them will be fighting for a possible racing seat. (as KJS would become the unquestioned lead driver, and Van Dycke's off to Larousse in F1)

Then van Dycke to my team for those 2 rounds. Is is okay This? If not put Hashimoto for both rounds due to Asian driver in Asian race reason

Time for daredevil sell and upgrade
Sell 2 Generic's quali upgrade, 3 Generic's overtake skill, which should be 420 + 2875 = 3295
Then I would like to upgrade Tenpecost as: 1 overtake upgrade, 1 wet weather skill and 1 race upgrade

No chatlog as I couldn't be bothered to commentate the last half of the race because A) the chatroom was full of other discussions and B) too much was happening at the same time.

Danny Fernandez, Maea Blog and Rachel Graham have received suspended race penalties for their actions in this race.

Sam Sun and Anna Gunnarsdottir have recovered from their injuries and will return to their seats by default unless otherwise specified by HawkAussie and The Dutch Bear, repsectively.

Improve engine reliability X4 pls

3 more points. Well done you James Allen.

Yay, points! 3 RP for Stokins and 2 for Winton, please

5 race performance upgrades for Mazzacane please.

One power and torque point, plus 1 qualifying and 1 race performance points for Megumi. Lets threw all the money.

And yes, now Andrea Moda calls it quits from the team, so Andrea Moda logos are gone and Mancini is replaced for Macmillan for the rest of the season.

Everything stays the same for V.I.D.A.

YES! our first podium as a result of this Hunter autosport will take two race upgrades for both our drivers

Gunnarsdottir will indeed return to her seat.
As an upgrade I would like to decrease front wing drag.

Nope, you can't afford that. The total cost would run up to 7000 CHF, of which you are 450 CHF short. I edited the livery though.

^Does that include release of Mancini?

FMecha wrote:^Does that include release of Mancini?

What? He was a rookie at the start of this year so you paid no salary to him at all. And regardless of that, even if you did pay him salary you wouldn't be refunded any of it because you voluntarily replaced him. You just dumped a guy with 13500 worth in upgrades (and who has scored all of your team's points this season) for someone who has no stats at all!

Okay, stuff it, Mancini will complete the season, even without Andrea Moda backing. He's got new backers from some shady Italian companies anyway. Also Nuppiz, care to show the new Northgate livery?
