Super Aguri will break into Prodrive and Force India, and see if their rear wings are better than ours. If not, we'd like to plunder their bases for anything of value. Both attempts Fail. Abysmal. We'll break into Prodrive, Honda and Force India, to see if something like rear wings, sidepods or van...

40 percent on FedEx and ING. 20 percent on Marlboro. I also want to produce calendars. Furthermore, I'd like to replace all very good employees with 8 trainees.

The Final important part I will cover before the first race is Sponsorship and Commercial (Manufacturing will be dealt with after the first race now.) To attract a sponsor, you need to focus your Commercial department on target sponsors, deciding how to split your time is essential. Here are the spo...

We'll break in to Toyota and Force India. All attempts Fail. We're just whoring out our EMS, aren't we? Super Aguri will begin to develop a semi-auto gearbox, and would like to break into Williams and Red Bull to steal any parts with a higher rating. You break into Williams and find their Floor, Fr...

McLaren will attempt to break into Williams, Red Bull and Toyota, in that order. Where possible, we will go for EMS but if it is of a lesser standard to ours then just the highest rated part All attempts fail unfortunately. -------- Here is one additional point, if you wish you can cancel your secu...

In that case, Williams will break into Toro Rosso and start development on a Semi-Automatic gearbox

You fail to break into Toro Rosso. But Semi-Auto Gears are now being developed!

Well I was going to do Commercial next, but break ins are more fun! So I will cover the RnD section now. First Driver aids: https://i.gyazo.com/dc747eafc83529006aab0166e224a14f.png Only Semi Automatic Gears is legal for the first season, but you can develop and run any of them and if you are feeling...

I'd rather that wait until the end of the season, you can only sign then for next season anyways.

First thing I'm going to go over is staff numbers. Staff are split into the following regions: Design, Engineering, Mechanics and Commercial. The first three are the stages needed to develop parts, get the car ready, get driver aids and design the car for next season (This must be done, even if the ...

Whilst we wait for Fmecha to make his 2nd driver choice, we might as well begin the contest to decide who will be Toyota's drivers for 08!

I always thought the point of Secret Santa was to NOT know who sent you the gift but thankyou very Much Dr Baker.

My prize was an A1GP Team Malaysia shirt signed by Alex Yoong and Fairuz Fauzy! Really really nice gift!

Wizzie wrote:Williams would like to know why they're missing from the draft list entirely

You were on the draft list, I just didn't copy you over, I even mentioned in the chat when I drew Williams. My fault.

Checking the logs, you were just before Toro Rosso. So I'll stealth edit you in.

After the live draw the pick order for drivers is thus: BMW Super Aguri Honda Prodrive Renault Ferrari Force India McLaren Williams Toro Rosso Red Bull Jordan and the list is reversed for second drivers, so Jordan will be able to pick two drivers at once and it will go back to Red Bull all the way u...

All teams have engines. I will very soon reveal the draft order for all teams. But before that can start I will list all the drivers in the game and their cost. (But no other stats.) All drivers will have their exp raised to 3 stars to prevent the rookie bug, but will have some other stats lowered t...

You will need BMW's permission to do this (peteroli) and may get it fine, they may say no, they may make demands (just non financial).

Shadaza

How much do the three "other" engines cost? No cost at this stage, manually adjusting budgets via chating is clunky in this game (can only be done in chunks of 5 million at a time!) The best engines are covered by the manufacture teams but the rest are a free choice. There will be an oper...

Well with no one controlling Toyota, there is nothing stopping that. Done.

Shadaza

Okay, the very first thing that needs to be decided on is engines. 1) All teams can run their real life 2008 engine for no cost. So for example Toro Rosso can run Ferrari engines without seeking permission. In this case Prodrive have customer Mercedes engines as default, Jordan have Ford Cosworth! 2...
