Re: 1962 WSRC - entries by 16th Oct

Post by Nuppiz »

So in a month (or more accurately just five days) we got 11 replies. Fine, I can work with that.

With three races left you can just put down your entries for the rest of the season if you haven't already. Also, if anyone is still interested in managing one (ot two, if you aren't already managing one) of the following manufacturers, post here. I specifically chose manufacturers which haven't been active in quite some time.

Citroën
Fiat
Morgan
Peugeot
Saab
Shelby
Sunbeam
Triumph
Volkswagen

Entries for Daytona will be accepted until 5 PM UTC, 16th October. I may run the last weekends a bit faster than usual so don't hesitate to end the entirety of the remaining season in one go.

Shelby will return for their home with the following drivers returning:

Gerson Alarcón Santana
Álvaro Mazzacane Sr.

As both original cars are destroyed, Shelby shall use the spare car available for Santana and it's believed according to Nuppiz that a new car would be built for Mazzacane Sr.

Wouldn’t mind taking Fiat over as well, keep the same driver lineup as used at the Nürburgring for Daytona please.

But for Argentina we’ll see if we can bring in a special guest driver, would Fangio consider taking a one-off drive in GT 3.0?

I can take Citroen, please confirm. I will just run the same drivers and cars they had before their manager went AWOL if that is okay :D

Juan Manuel Fangio is retired for good and has no interest in plodding around in a slow Fiat, even if it's his home race. However if he was offered a Mercedes-Benz, he could make an exception...

Yeah you can have Citroën. With the amount of entries in GT 2.0 at the moment, you stand a very high chance of scoring points... provided the DS doesn't just blow up halfway through the race :deletraz: . I have you entered for the Daytona race now, but of course you can enter all remaining races of the season if you want.

For now, the Daytona entries will be a one-off.

Sure, and to confirm I can use the same drivers and cars? I wish to have those cars and drivers run the rest of the season.

I knew that would be the answer but it was worth asking!

And in the same theme how about José Froilán González? If not we’ll just continue as normal.

González hasn't raced since the Argentine Grand Prix in February 1960, but through his garage business he does still hold a very slight interest in racing. Also, driving a Fiat would be a logical continuation to his Ferrari career. The chances are still slim, but anyway let's give this one out to RNG.

1-85: Decides it's better to not risk anything and declines
86-100: Accepts one last goodbye drive at his home venue
RNG says... 33! No deal.

As the 2.0 grid is starting to get a little bigger, Porsche will change their mind and will send all their entries (same as previous round) for this Daytona round.

Also, I've been looking at Gregory's record. I believe he competed in just 8 events. Would this qualify him as WSRC driver?

If so, Shelby would like to make last minute request for him to take over Santana's car for Daytona.

Porsche entries acknowledged.

If you mean Masten Gregory, you've sorely miscalculated his F1 and sportscar entries. Aside from 7 World Championship races, he also started 11 non-championship F1 races and 10 sportscar events. The combined total (28) is way over the allowed maximum (10).

Daimler-Benz didn't have a factory team at this time due to the 1955 Le Mans disaster.

You can enter their cars as a privateer, though.

There's a number of issues in this entry:

  • AMG was only founded in 1967. Supposedly this could be a team that has no connection to the real-life AMG, but then I'd like to hear what's behind the acronym.
  • Some of the drivers listed are ineligible due to the rules set in place to avoid clashing with tommykl's F1. Specifically, Bruce McLaren and Lucien Bianchi.
  • Ricardo Rodriguez also goes just barely over the limit, however due to the special circumstances (driving here might prevent him from partaking in the non-championship F1 race a couple of weeks later, thus sparing his life) I'm allowing his entry.
  • Denny Hulme and Mauro Bianchi are already driving for other teams (Lotus and Alpine, respectively). Pedro Rodriguez is technically under contract to NART, however if NART fails to offer him a drive within 3 days of this post then I consider him free to sign for another team.
  • Additionally, Reinhold Joest only just started racing in hillclimbs 1962. While technically available he would perform rather poorly.

okay, but what about Stirling moss for both races and fangio for Argentina? are they available?

as for the team name...

how about Autosport Mannschaft Gelsenkirchen?

as for other drivers, honestly, apart from F1 drivers and some racers from the le mans race of the era, I don't really know anybody from GT racing in the 60s...unless I can just create fictional drivers...

correct me if they're not available, but I'd like to inquire for the following drivers:

- ken miles (yeah, yeah, I saw ford v ferrari last weekend, I know :geek: )
- Jackie Stewart
- jo siffert
- Mario andretti
- parnelli jones
- Ludwig Fisher
- dieter glemser
- hans hermann


also, I'll wait for NART's decision concerning Pedro Rodriguez. if he's a free agent after 3 days, I'll offer him a ride for Mexico.

If you like a driver from Argentina for the Argentinian Round, I can offer you one of my team's drivers Juan Manuel Bordeu. His GT results at the time in real life are quite decently good especially in races in South America.

He is currently not racing as his car got written off (Dunno which round).

Alpine will consider releasing Mauro Bianchi to join AMG for the final two rounds if you are looking for drivers as we believe that this is a great opportunity for Mauro and we don’t want to get in the way if this is someone your team is willing to chase.

Of course Mauro will demand a 300 SLS that you seem to plan on running in the GT 3.0 class.

  • Stirling Moss: In real life he was still recovering from injuries suffered in a crash at the Glover Trophy in April, which effectively ended his full-time career. Unavailable on medical grounds.
  • Jackie Stewart: Just started out his professional racing career. Already pretty quick as well, so that's a good choice. Available.
  • Jo Siffert: Current Ferrari reserve driver. Locked to an airtight contract so that's a no.
  • Juan Manuel Fangio: Recently offered a Fiat drive which he turned down, but I also mentioned he'd be much more interested in a Mercedes, and you're offering just that. Available.
  • Mario Andretti: Racing midget cars at this point. Available but very inexperienced.
  • Parnelli Jones: Full-time USAC driver. Unavailable.
  • Ludwig Fischer: Available.
  • Dieter Glemser: Available, but fairly inexperienced when it comes to circuit racing.
  • Pedro Rodriguez: NART have failed to offer him many drives after the Belgian round so he's available.

Autosport Mannschaft Gelsenkirchen would've loved to offer Pedro Rodriguez the chance to ride alongside his brother. however, due to privateers being only allowed three cars and us wanting to be competitive right off the bat (with all due respect to Pedro's talents), we will bid for Jackie Stewart for the second full time ride alongside Mauro bianchi.

as for the third car, we would like to offer it to Juan Manuel fangio for the Argentina round.

which means that our entry would look like this:

AUTOSPORT MANNSCHAFT GELSENKIRCHEN (FRG)

Car: Mercedes 300 SLS

DRIVER LINE-UP:
-Mauro Bianchi
-Jackie Stewart
-Ricardo Rodriguez (mexico round)
-Juan Manuel fangio (Argentina round)

Alright, now I just need your racing numbers and livery. Basically what colour(s) you want on your cars, sponsors aren't common in this era.

Refer to the wiki page for racing numbers that are already in use.

we will use the following numbers:

- Jackie stewart: 800
- Mauro bianchi: 801
- third car: 802

as for the livery, I have a few questions:

- are all cars obliged to use the same livery, or we can assign a different livery to each car?
- I read in the introductory post that sponsorship from car suppliers are allowed. does that mean that, for example, my cars could be sponsored by, like, Goodyear, STP, elf, Motul, Etc...?

Technically every car can have a completely different livery. However, during this time it was customary for teams to not have a huge variation between each car. So let's say you have to use the same base colour for every car but can freely have individual details such as racing stripes etc. for each of them.

And yes, you can have some sponsorship decals from automotive suppliers.

perfect!

Autosport Mannschaft Gelsenkirchen will use the colours royal blue, light blue and white for their liveries. it is an homage to the owner's favorite football club, FC schalke 04.

we would like the following patterns for our three cars:

-Jackie stewart

requests his livery to be mainly royal blue, with the white racing stripes shaped like the white stripes on the flag of his native Scotland.


- Mauro Bianchi

predominantly royal blue like Stewart's car, but with more conventional vertical white stripes

- Ricardo Rodriguez

Ricardo Rodriguez would like to have his livery be predominantly white with royal blue stripes on the top of the car.

- Juan Manuel fangio

Autosport Mannschaft Gelsenkirchen would like to request a special livery for senor fangio: instead of royal blue, we would like to use a light blue colour, and the livery will have the same color pattern as the Argentinean flag.

all cars shall also be sponsored by our suppliers:

-Elf
-Continental
-Motul

is this ok?

OK except for the fact that the Elf brand didn't exist until 1967. Besides, they and Motul were business rivals so it wouldn't make sense to have both of them.

Mobil 1 wasn't introduced until 1974, although you could have regular Mobiloil instead. But you're still missing the fact that you're attempting to have two rival oil companies on the same car which makes no sense at all.

Since your team is German I'd recommend Bosch instead.

L’Equipe (translated) wrote:Alpine to replace Bianchi with Rosinski

Société Automobiles Alpine has today announced that Frenchman José Rosinski will join the team in the #110 car. The former Alfa Romeo factory driver who finished 3rd in last years’ GP Bruxelles and won the Grand Prix des Frontìeres this season arrives after Mauro Bianchi was released to join the new AMG Mercedes team in the GT 3.0 class.

“We are delighted to have a talented young driver like José join us for the remainder of the season” the team spokesman for Alpine said.

Alpine... (rest of copy is faded because printer ran out of ink)


So of course in other words

In: J.Rosinski
Out: M.Bianchi
