Grand Prix Rejects

What do I need? Do I just bid for teams, engines and drivers or is it more complicated than that? If it's simple, I'll go for EuroBrun for the sheer fun of it. I've never done this before.

The works Ferrari engines were exclusive to Ferrari, yes, for obvious reasons. There was a customer Ferrari package... which Stramala was able to do some amazing things with.

You don't say?

Some series do use xkoranate though, albeit without spreadsheets (F1RICS, Warped Touring Car Series, etc).

Autosport wrote:AGS bullish over future

Current F1 backmarker team Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives, known as AGS, has made clear its desire to move away from the back of the grid in the next few years. The little French team have recently installed Rennes-born Jacques Couteau as the team's manager, and the Frenchman has made no secret of his desire to make the team the top one in France.

"We've got a tiny, but hard-working operation here. What we need to do is make smart decisions with the resources we have, and we mustn't be wasteful or silly with the money we spend. Key to the future is getting a good engine deal; we've bid for Judds but we know that to develop we need to come into some kind of works deal in the future. Our target is to get as close as possible to Ligier to ensure that France is well represented in top-level motorsports. 1990 will be a year where we lay the foundations for everything, and to develop the infrastructure needed to make the team a success."

No word has been given yet on the driver front, however it is expected that the team will seek to partner an experienced, technically informed driver with a young and hungry racer, possibly with some financial incentives.
