Formula Manager 2000

[Forti]

In the world of F1, the 90's saw the emergence of legends such as Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen, who are expected to duke it out for their third WDC in the new millennium, but also great progress in safety following the deaths of Senna and Ratzenberger. 2000 marks a rise in manufacturer teams. Honda have returned to the sport in full works capacity, and Stewart has been transformed into Jaguar following their purchase by Ford. There are murmurs in the paddock of Renault properly re-joining the field and even Toyota entering the world of F1.

The FIA have reformed F1's feeder series, Formula 3000. Now known as Formula 2 once more, teams are encouraged to run F2 teams and eventually sign their F2 drivers up to a race seat for their F1 team. In response to the lack of F1 success of F3000 champions and 1996 champ Jorg Muller not making it on the F1 grid at all, teams are given a small financial bonus for signing the reigning F2 champion, which in this case is Nick Heidfeld.

BAR and Prost have been taken already as agreed on in the Discord.

BAR announces F2 expansion despite shocking 1999


Arden International will be known as "555 Racing" as part of the new deal.

After a shocking 1999 season where rookie team British American Racing finished last of all teams, they have announced an expansion to their operations as Craig Pollock says that "BAR's goal to win World Championships remains unchanged". To that end, they have announced a partnership with Christian Horner's Arden International team that will see the Formula 2 outfit run as "555 Racing". This means that the British American Racing family will promote different BAT brands at each level of racing. Among those being spoken about as drivers are...

Williams would like to announce their plans to partner up with DAMS as their strategic partner in F2.
The team will run under the name DAMS-Williams Academy Team (if a re-naming is possible)

[Rob Dylan]

Ferrari would like to take on the Astromega team as our F2 equivalent, for the reason that it has the coolest name of the remaining teams.

Rumours that the Ferrari team plan to rename Astromega to F2rrari are unconfirmed.
