Okay, Midland will try and sell their test/reserve seat to: Sakon Yamamoto (he brings $6m) Giorgio Pantano (whatever he can bring) Adrián Vallés (whatever he can bring) Sakon Yamamoto: Since Midland needs money after buying the Mercedes engines for $16 millon. The chances of Sakon signing are 90% f...

So far, the comments are looking more positive than the first time around! Which makes me happy. As promised, here's the last part of the REDO Driver RNG's Driver Bids REDO Part 4 Anthony Davidson Part 2: Midland just didn’t respond back to Davidson, and he’s pissed but instead Toro Rosso is coming ...

Well, Thanks, I was a little scared about a few parts of the REDO myself, while I was doing it, but if you say so, then I am satisfied.

I guess no complaints still!

Wow! What a difference a day makes! I got the REDO Driver RNG's done, and I decided to go in order from the best team in the WCC to the two new teams last, just as takagi_for_the_win has suggested. But to make sure, everyone gets a chance at feedback this time around, I decided to divide up the REDO...

KL-Racer, when running the RNG's, you should generally run the team that won the WCC in the preceding season and work your way down from there. It takes a bit longer, but 80% of the time people end up happy and with driver line-ups similar to what they envisaged. Okay, that seems like a fair option...

And One more thing . . . Since Salamander decided to rage quit with a legit reason, RonDenisDeletraz will be the new manager of McLaren, since he was first on the waiting list. Hopefully, no other people will rage quit while I am redoing the RNG driver bids from Best team to worst team! Don't expect...

WOAH, WOAH! Heidfeld was my first choice for the Midland drive! Don't just jump straight to Trulli! And I never bid for Mondini to be my SECOND driver, I bid for him to be my reserve as a last resort! Where's Viso? Why has my bid for Premat stopped existing? What the hell is happening? Thanks to Ta...

Driver Bids Part 2: Before starting, I have decided to NOT start with the drivers that got the most bids but instead start from the top of my list!

Driver Bids Part 1 Okay, so here’s the first part of the driver bids. I decided to do the drivers that only received one bid first. Then, I will deal with the drivers with multiple bids in part 2 onwards starting with the drivers that received the most bids and working our way from there Ralf Schuma...

ENGINE BIDS TIME! Since I got all the bids from all 13 teams. I will now post the engine bid results and by the way, I will go from the most expensive to least expensive for this set of bids. Renault – Renault 18m Renault will only supply their own works team for the time being because no other team...

So, you have been asking why happened to this series? I tried to open the Xkoranate program today after some time off and suddenly it got removed due to the Norton Antivirus program saying that it's not safe anymore!

Thanks

Yes I can expand that deadline, given that I'm way over in America and most of you are in Europe.

KL-racer

I say weight all the bids and let the RNG decide. That was my original plan anyway, wait until all 13 team bids are posted and then I calculate them by the RNG. So, as of now I still need Ferrari, Williams, Honda, Super Aguri, Prodrive and Carlin's Bids posted before I actually start the RNG stage....

KL-racer

You can post your bids on here, but as soon as you posted your bids, you can’t go back and edit them! We don’t want anyone cheating! ... That's not how it works in real life, you know. If somebody makes a bid, the original bidder is allowed to outbid them. Snap, I would know that someone will proba...

KL-racer

Well, that was quick to fill up all of the slots! So, on to the next step, drivers and engine bids! Engine Bids: All seven engine makers can only supply a maximum of 2 teams, and given that there are 13 teams, one engine maker will end up supplying one team after all of this is over. And no, before ...

At least Courtney Force scored more points for Jaguar, but the lack of qualifying pace is concerning us!

KL-racer

Okay, so I ultimately decided to try my hand at a F1 management game, using Grand Prix 2 and I decided to do 2006. Due to the fact that Grand Prix 2 needs 13 teams, and since only 11 teams actually raced in 2006, I decided to add Prodrive and Carlin to the mix just for the LOLS! So, here’s the entry...

And I saw this article today on GT planet. Here's the link:

Any impressions/thoughts?

Great Job by Zanardi to score 2 points for Tyrrell. For the free test, Tyrrell will focus on Top Speed and Aero.

KL-racer

Well, Kajikuma continues to surprise me. She just missed out on a top 5 finish. It was a shame that Courtney Force didn't finish this race. At least Jaguar as a team is now in the top 5 of the teams standings.

KL-racer

At least both of my cars finished in the points. I also pleasantly shocked by Kajikuma finishing ahead of Force. Given that it's only 12 rounds in this season, we are hoping to score consistent points at every single race. But then again, we need to get a couple podium finishes as well.

KL-racer

I am impressed that Inoue finished 8th after staring dead last, and one lap down. However, it sucks that the Zanardi's car retired due to engine problems after an impressive qualifying session. Maybe, my driving lineup is not that bad after all!

I still can't believe that both Caterhams still haven't turned in a single time lap yet even after FP2. Makes me wonder, will they even make the 107% rule at this rate?
