RD Formula Manager - Season 8

[Milos]

@Omer Said Speed and Durability then

 

[kedy89]

@kedy89 - Must be one of the most frustrating races for BRT. Do you think these surprise results in the last two races will affect the title battle?

Frustrating yes, but things have been going against us for a long time now, so it's nothing new that we once again ended up getting screwed. Still we further increased the gap, since the others teams are too lousy to capitalise on it.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@Jimlaad43 - What a drive by Felix! Is it fair to say that you are in the contention now?

We have the potential to, especially considering that our car is currently basically a cylinder with some falcon wings taped onto it to produce downforce. With a better Chassis we can be right up there even more.

Delacroix buys ($3100 - a correct total, Omer can confirm)
Buy Driver $600 - Nick Heidfeld (gotta go full Mahindra ) Demote John to Test/Reserve Driver
Advanced Engine Testing $800 (Speed x2, Reliability x1, Durability x1). I think I'm allowed to do that.
Chassis Upgrade $500
Driver Testing $800 - Heidfeld
Speed +1 $400 - Heidfeld

@Audi - A top 10 must be a solid achievement for such a new team. But now your Renault engine contract is expired. Any plans of stepping up the engine supplier level?

Top 10 is fantastic, Romain put in an absolutely phenomenal final couple of laps. I didn't expect that much, we were only beating Trunk, who hasn't exactly been a challenger thus far, but reliability, and some massive gains in the final two laps was enough for an 8th. Plans for engine are undecided, but we certainly won't be going below the power of Renault.

If you want a decent engine, Delacroix are always happy for new customers

 

[Audi]

I will accept that offer, depending on price off course
Other buys so far:
1 Durability Upgrade
1 Qualifying Upgrade

 

[Jimlaad43]

Delacroix will supply engines to Fusion Motorsports for a price of $550. Anyone else who wants them this round, that is your price

As such, Engine Testing $500 - Reliability

 

[Omer Said]

Maximum 2 car upgrades can be bought in each market period. You need to remove one of these.

Fusion Motorsports for a price of $550

This contract for the rest of season, or just for the next round?

Rest of the season.

@rubaru - That must be a huge relief to finally achieve a great podium after a long struggle. What do you feel, and will this put you into the title battle?

Knowing once and for all that we do actually have a competitive car, even with the Honda Aston Martin engine is surely a relief. But, we will keep working hard for good results. We've had a lot of bad luck not finishing races, so a title isn't really in the cards right now, nor is it even in our thoughts. But we take pride knowing every finishing car has been in the Top 10, and now the team's first ever podium.

@Slyfrequency - Your cars seemed fast, but traffic must have destroyed all of your plans today? Also your engine contract has expired with Lambo, any plans of switching engines?

Monaco is a tight track that has always been hard to overtake. We did good, maybe not early on in the race but as it progressed we climbed up the field. Unfortunate for Michael and his issues so late on in the race. No plans on switching engine, we will be staying with the Lambo engines for the remainder of the season.

Added 1 more driver training to my buys

 

[TTupsi]

@TTupsi - Audrey's durability must have destroyed your race today. But seeing BRT and RRR also losing points today, do you feel in the title contention still?

No title contention for us. Mian objective now is to develop reliability - the retirements are costing us too much right now. The speed of the engine isn't that good either so there's lots to do. Unfortunate times!

@Omer Said, why didn't my advanced engine test happen?

@Omer Said, why didn't my advanced engine test happen?

It seems you missed my PM, but let me explain here too: Only customers can do advanced engine test.

 

[Aidan Keranen]
