And before someone say "there's no drivers in Peru", look for Juan Manuel Polar and Luis Gautier IRL.

This is a fictional series though with fictional drivers. The only Peruvian driver I can immediately think of is Angel Jose Castañeda in F1RDS, not sure if there are any others.

I also wouldn't mind running an Italia Microstates team, with Andrea Acuri and one of the Nicchi family in the two seats!

So if it's strictly fictional drivers only, I wouldn't imagine that I would be able to have Austria.

Tristan; regardless of the rulings I'd like to change my entry (sorry for the inconvenience!)

Erm, chaps, real-life drivers can participate you know...

The first post in this thread wrote:* Any real-life driver who is likely to be racing in 2015 (e.g. Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Sergio Perez etc.) is eligible to join and any historical drivers from the F1RMGP that are not holograms can participate.

F***. I thought it was F1RMGP drivers only, not "real life", if you catch my drift.

I suppose I should re-clarify the rules for entering teams.

* As of right now, you cannot name your drivers, you an only choose your team and name your manager. When that time comes, you can take any real-life driver that is likely to be driving in 2015. I wasn't going to announce driver rules until next week, but I am planning to limit signing real-life drivers to one half of the driver allocation unless I grant an excpetion (so if you want to hire Button, Hamilton, Di Resta and Max Chilton for Team Great Britain (4 drivers), you can only hire two. The other two must be fictional drivers.
* You can't just add your own country. You can only use the entries that I have supplied on Page 2. I may edit the entry list if no one wants Malta, Monaco, Bulgaria, etc. but you can't just say, "I want to run Algeria" because that's not on the list. In direct response to roblomas' request, I will relinquish control of South Korea and give it to roblomas. He can then create a unified North Korean and South Korean team to promote peace and friendship, a situation that once occurred in the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships. However, roblomas cannot have a separate North Korean team.

Secondly, I am going to merge Malta and Monaco into a Pan-European Microstates Team, which includes Liechtenstein, Vatican City, Monaco, Andorra, etc. if darkapprentice wants to takeover the PEMT, he is welcome to do so.

Seedstriker, you have to pick a team that I listed in the preliminary post.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 13 Jan 2013, 19:04

Well, this doesn't affect Scuderia Italia at all, there is a massive racing generation gap in Italy IRL, if I didn't have virtual drivers to pick from the team would be absolutely nowhere. I really can't think of any talented young Italians who would be in F1 by 2015.

So it will go back to my tradition of combining names of people in my friends circle. I think Wim-Bert Horrie sounds Dutch enough for the job.

And it will be interesting to see that some countries might be desperate enough to take on Kim-Jong Sung or even worse, Simon Garfünkel :lol:

I think RL drivers shouldn't be allowed in this. How will, say, Nico Hulkenberg compare to, say, Danny van Rijkens?

But I'm kinda relying on combining real-life with fictional drivers! Not quite enough of either...

A pan-African team would be unrelated to all my other teams in other series, so Alitalia-pressure is irrelevant. If i would run Ricardo Teixeira and Prince Walik, that would be reject gold. :lol:

Which cars will the series use?

Then i confirm i want to run the Pan-African team. I think it is very important that this continent is part of this series, as Europe, America, Asia and Oceania are there, and we need all inhabitable continents to be represented.
