RD Formula Manager - Season 5

[Andy 'Mars Bar' Graham]

I'll do some engine testing

 

[kedy89]

@kedy89 - Congratulations on your title. Was that too easy for you?

Almost. Since halfway last season we have a rather big advantage over the competition. Some races, like this and last one, there's a team giving us some troubles, but not over the full season. Biggest rival this season actually was our sister team.


@Omer Said
Can you confirm that the supplier list includes the updates from the last marketplace period? Could swear that at least Aston still has the same values as before race 6

 

[The_Laskinator]

@The_Laskinator - Is it Renault that holding you back? Or simply you are taking very cautious steps in your first races?

my aim for this race after the last one was to just finish, so i came out of this happy, from here on i'll try and be a bit more adventurous with strategy and pitstops, but the engine may potentially be holding me back, but we might as well use this season as a practice run, to get the hang of race weekends so we can learn and move forward next season!

[Tim.E]

@Tim.E - Another good drive by Schumacher. Is it enough though?

Michael drove sublimely today, no questioning about it. We'll try to claim the top 10 position in the WDC for Michael as for ourselves in the Constructors, that's the sole aim for this season. We'll have to see how everything turns out next season.

I haven't updated the supplier list image since the end of race 6. It is up to date at the Excel file. And now will update here as well in a minute.

 

[Milos]

@Milos - Two top-speed tracks are wasted with fuel problems. Will you try again at Canada? Or is it too late for this season?

I'll try again for sure! We had some promising pace, and I think I can repeat that even without the setup advantage.

@airutonpurosuto8912 - Kobayashi was on fire today. And your teams earned plenty of money today, how do you feel?

It was the best ever race for the team. Kobayashi was very impressive throughout the race, and with the very few [and also the fewest this season!] amount of retirements this was the highest position we could ever achieve with all our 4 cars.

 

[rubaru]

@rubaru - Both cars finishing the race must be a relief for the team, but are you concerned about the lack of pace?

You're right, the double-finish was a HUGE boost of confidence for the team. We are elated and plan to have a big party tonight. As for the pace, ehh...so what?! We finished! Everyone always talking about how fast you go around here and we're thinking OMG we double-finished the race. It's our first season in the car, sure we are not as fast as ART, or even Thunderstorm running the same engine. But, we'll get there in our own way. You just wait for Canada...we have some surprises in store.

Trulli - Speed +1
Bank 300Cr, right?

How will you pay your debts?

With money

 

[Andy 'Mars Bar' Graham]

With money

That's way too mainstream, pay them off with Mars Bars instead

 

[Tim.E]

With money

Assassinate all the bad guys in Turkey and Omer might let you off for this one.

 

[Azabadaza]

@Azabadaza - What happened to Jann? He was going for a solid points finish before stopping.

I gambled on the last 2 laps, and ultimately the gamble didn't pay off. 1, maybe 2 more litres and we would have made the finish. We were trying to push for 2 positions for our sponsor, but in the end we got nothing.

Buys:
Jann: +1 tyre mastery
Lella: +1 tyre mastery

 

[rubaru]

By the way, Ram F1 will retain Sponsors F & K

 

[Sasha Jednak]

@Sasha Jednak - Somehow a return to top 10, but not at the previous pace yet. Are you satisfied?

Yes, we are very happy to finaly get all 4 cars to the finish. We don't have pace goals but we are happy to be back in top 10.

 

[TTupsi]

Yes, great to be back on podium and what's more important - in top-5 with both cars. We cut the mistakes in this race and with a little help from our rivals it was possible.
