RD Formula Manager - Season 5

[Tim.E]

oh mah gawd, one of the first double finishes of Jawz GP so far. Also one car inside the top 10, I'm so pleased right now.

Edit: Please Milos stop the rant, jeez...

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Who knows, maybe I'll pay attention next week and have 4 cars from 3rd-ish through to eighth. Good result in the end but bloody annoying race.

That wasn't a boring race from us. We're like Caterham and Marussia IRL

Lap-by-Lap

@kedy89 - Is this the end of season? You seem too far ahead. How does it feel to take the maximum points at your home race?
@Aidan Keranen - Must be a massive shame to lose 3 drivers with small calculation mistakes or what seemed to be so. There are some rumours that you will not supply engines to BRT after the 5th race, are they true?
@Sasha Jednak - Vettel criticized your absence at his post-race interview and demanded more from the team. Do you agree with him?
@TTupsi - A great recovery! But do you think you could have achieved more with a proper qualifying?
@Jimlaad43 - Patrick had a collision once again. There are some serious criticism on her driving. What do you feel?
@Timmieturner12 - Finally points! And Schumacher had a great race until the final collision. Do you think you could have achieved more with an earlier switch to inters?
@Milos - Fangio's last lap disaster must have hit you hard. But is it promising to see your cars are capable of climbing back after starting at the back of the grid?
@airutonpurosuto8912 - Will you start taking risks for more points? Or this season is only a preparation for the next one?
@Azabadaza - Must be heartbreaking to retire with both cars, especially when Lombardi's pace seemed to be capable of a high place finish. How will you recover?
@Manolis Sigoulakis - This season we do not see the usual Grip Racing style which manages to go steadily and strongly. What is going on? How will you recover?
@rubaru - You were absent from the paddock and your engineers did not make a good job. Yet the pace of your cars before the retirements looked strongger than the previous races. Is it promising?

Absolutely awesome to secure the top4 at our home race! Championship indeed seems to be decided already, but nonetheless we'll keep working hard until the end.

It seems you got the wrong sponsors for my prize calculation?

I took the sponsors from the first race... DOH!
*Recalculating...

Thread is locked until the budgets are fixed with proper sponsorship prizes...

 

[Jimlaad43]

Do we have to re-sign engines and tyres because we've had the test session or is that not yet?

You have to resign after the 5th race.

Budgets in the first page Teams List are fixed! Time to shopping now!

ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU CAN ALTER YOUR CAR SETUPS BY 10 POINTS as we had the 1st Mid-Season Testing Session.

@Milos - Fangio's last lap disaster must have hit you hard. But is it promising to see your cars are capable of climbing back after starting at the back of the grid?

Very hard, even harder since it was for the second race running, and it was a Blackcat running team, too.

But hey ho, the positives from this race can certainly be seen. Fangio was running in the top 10 despite the bad call for wet tyres when we tried to make something happen, while Szisz would've been up there too but his race was compromised in the pitlane when we had to stack. And Blackcat is showing signs of progress, with the engine lasting on all 8 cars despite myself and Tim running some not-recommended engine modes.

Aston Martin +1 Speed
Blackcat +10 Fuel Tank Size

 

[Milos]

+1 engine speed ($500)
+1 durability ($500)
$200 left me thinks

oh, and, sponsor change to C-F

 

[Tim.E]

Sooooo nice to see that finally all our hard work and dedication paid off, I'm so pleased it's unbelievable. But true, the strategy for Michael wasn't great, we need to look into that a bit more for the next couple of races.

Buys and setup change soon.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@Jimlaad43 - Patrick had a collision once again. There are some serious criticism on her driving. What do you feel?

Female drivers in this series are being played by the stereotype too much. Women aren't bad drivers, there are enough Maldonado's, Ide's, Cecotto Jr.'s and Markelov's out there to show that men are just as bad.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

@Aidan Keranen - Must be a massive shame to lose 3 drivers with small calculation mistakes or what seemed to be so. There are some rumours that you will not supply engines to BRT after the 5th race, are they true?

Extremely frustrating, but we compete in a sport where the 1 percenters matter, in some cases it really makes a massive difference. We can only strive to improve what we do, and in time we can challenge higher up.
Haha, no idea where those were dug up from. So far the partnership between us/Aston Martin and the Kederer teams has been fruitful (I mean, 4 wins..) and our technical workings has put the Aston Martin engine to the front of the field, the envy of the competition. We're happy with this, we were never at a point with our two teams to realistically challenge this season, but we do take delight at seeing the engines win.

@airutonpurosuto8912 - Will you start taking risks for more points? Or this season is only a preparation for the next one?

It depends on how many retirements there will be, but I don't think I'm gonna take more risk for points because all my 4 cars are sh*bleep*t.

 

[Tim.E]

Ahhhh finally some money

Very much so, once again the old one-percent came into play with fuel calculations and we didn't have enough buffer. Was a massive disappointment because Lella was flying and I believe we had just about timed the rain perfectly in regards to pitting, if only we had've made it to the pit lane

Budget: $650
+1 durability
remaining: $150
change sponsors to C-E
