Grand Prix Rejects

It appears Salamander's taking a break, so I'm going to look after McLaren in her place. To that end: Team: West McLaren Mercedes Driver 1 1st choice: Greg Moore (£10m) 2nd choice: Mika Hakkinen (£11m) Driver 2 1st choice: Heinz-Harald Frentzen (£8m) 2nd choice: Eddie Irvine (£5.5m) 3rd choice: Jean...

So far, I have bids from:

Williams
Ferrari
Benetton
Jordan
Sauber
BAR
Minardi
Dome

That leaves McLaren, Prost, Arrows, Stewart and Lola. If I can have those by Sunday, that'll be perfect.

I'll hang onto Tyrrell, unless someone fancies a swap?

Things have changed a little for 1999 - mainly, the implementation of testing and upgrades. This time, it's more of a passive system - and you'll be required to take on a technical director to provide updates throughout the year. These will happen every four races, and the upgrade's performance incr...

Could Mika walk into a BAR? Benetton's Mika Hakkinen has endured a disappointing 1998 season, despite his best efforts to overcome the Mecachrome-powered B198's shortfalls in performance and reliability.

They are now, apols I forgot!

Note to all: if you don't name two drivers I'll just choose one of the other two to put in.

The final in-season test will take place after the race at the Hungaroring.

As before, each test costs:
£250k for minimal running
£500k for light running
£750k for medium running
£1m for heavy running

What I need is:

Forgot to mention, as I'm trying to whizz through the season at a fairly solid rate, that the second test day will follow Round 8 - so feel free to post your plans now. The third test day will be after Hockenheim, and I'll cancel the fourth one so we can start '99 signings around Hungary/Spa time.
