The bidding for drivers, engine and tyres is now open!
Note! Each manager should read this post thoroughly BEFORE making their bids.
How the bidding works:
Every item (driver/engine/tyre) has a minimum salary/price that has to be met. Each team must make
at least three offers for each driver seat
including annual salary/price and length of the contract. Offered contract length can be 1-3 years (only 1 year for pay-drivers).
The bids can be made publicly in this thread or via PM if a manager doesn't wish other managers to see his/hers offers.
When all teams have made their bids (or deadline for bids has passed) the game moderator calculates which team's offer a driver/supplier chooses.
So it doesn't matter whether you are the first or the last team to make your bids, as long as you make them before the deadline.
Important notes:
- It is advised to make more than three offers per item, especially if bidding for potentially popular items to ensure at least one driver/supplier accepts your contract offer. There is no limit on how many offers can be made.
- When bidding for any item each manager should place their preferred choice on top of their list.
- The highest bidder doesn't always win the bidding contest! There are other factors, including team status, that affect which team's offer an item chooses.
Example bid:

3. Mercedes 6000cr – 1 year
Tyres
1. Michelin 3000cr – 2 years
2. Bridgestone 3200cr – 3 years
* Pay-drivers pay for their seat before each race. Each pay-driver has a maximum money he can afford to pay per race. Pay-drivers can be signed only for 1 year at a time.
AVAILABLE DRIVERS
Below you will find the list containing all available drivers, their nationality, age and minimum salary. Offering more than the minimum salary understandably increases the chance a driver accepts your offer.
Drivers who are ready to pay for their seat have a negative salary (marked in red). Their salary denotes the maximum money they can pay
per race. Asking pay-drivers to pay less or offering them proper salary undesrstandably increases the chance a driver accepts your offer.
Note! Only Team Rebaque can bid for Hector Rebaque.
AVAILABLE ENGINES AND TYRES
Below you will find the list containing all available engine and tyre suppliers and their minimum salary. Offering more than the minimum salary undesrstandably increases the chance a supplier accepts your offer IF there is competition for it.
NOTE! Ferrari, Renault & Alfa Romeo DO NOT have to bid for engine
