1989 F3000 Triplet - Open For Business

[Gertrand Bachot]

Right, might as well experiment with a different series format. 3 F3000 series, all condensed into 1 thread to save space, and all being run in co-operation with one another. You are allowed to pick 1 team in each of the 3 series (International F3000, British F3000, and All-Japan F3000 (some International teams run in the British and Japanese series, so if you pick them in IF3000 you can run them in BF3000 or AJF3000 as well)), and there are some different game mechanics (more will be implemented as time goes on) to hopefully try and make it at least slightly unique.

Illegal Part Fitting Form

[Gertrand Bachot]

The Rules

General Rules
- All teams must enter 2 cars at all races. They don't have to have the same chassis, but must use the same engine.

- Points are 9-6-4-3-2-1 and all results count towards the International F3000 title and the British F3000 title. The best 6 results count towards the Japanese F3000 title.

- Teams in all series that are in the red once their series’ respective season has finished and all prize money distributed will be declared bankrupt and will have their assets sold off in the post-season auction. The next person on the waiting list will then have the opportunity to move up into the series.

Marketplace

- The Marketplace for 1989 for all series will open once all team spots are filled

- Each team must purchase a minimum of two chassis and two engines. You may purchase more as necessary, but no team can own more than three chassis at any one time.

- There are an unlimited number of engines available from each manufacturer.

- Due to the boom of the used F3000 car market with the birth of British F3000 and Formula Brabham, and the growth of Japanese F3000, resale values of cars have increased substantially. At the end of the season, International F3000 teams can sell their chassis to British F3000 and Japanese F3000 teams for the following resale values:
1989-spec: 70% of new value
1988-spec: 60% of new value
1987-spec: 50% of new value

- Teams are also free to do private sales or lease deals among themselves.

Damage

As it works very well, the series will use a modified version of the damage system used in Tommykl's Alt-F1 will be adopted.

- For every race-ending accident or collision that a driver is involved in, an RNG will be rolled depending on the severity of the crash. The categories are as follows:
Category 1: 0-25% the cost of the chassis
2: 20-45%
3: 40-65%, 5% of driver injury
4: 60-85%, 5% chance of a write-off, 10% of driver injury
5: 80-105%, 10% chance of a write-off, 20% of driver injury
(For reference, the vast majority of accidents will be in the 1-2 range)

- For each mechanical failure caused by an oil leak, water leak or outright engine failure, a similar RNG will be run. The range will be from 0-105, with any value over 100 being considered a total write-off. Any engine that is deemed a write-off will have a residual scrap value of 10% of original value.

- All damage must be repaired before each race, or a spare car can be entered in its place.

Aging

At the end of each season, chassis will undergo aging to reflect their growing obsolescence. The aging will be as follows:

1989-Spec Car
1 Year (start of 1990): -3 DF, +2 Handling, +1000 CFP
2 Years (1991): -2 DF, +1 Handling, +1500 CFP
3 Years (1992): You aren't gonna live to see it

1988-Spec Car
2 Years (1990): -2 DF, +1 Handling, +1500 CFP
3 Years (1991): See 3 years for 1989-spec cars

1987-Spec Cars
3 Years (1990): You likely are bankrupt or in hilarious debt

Testing

- There are 2 official pre-season tests, one for International teams at Jerez, and one for Japanese teams at Sugo.

- It costs £20,000 per car to enter these tests.

- Teams can organise their own private tests at a circuit of their choice, for a cost of £50,000.

- You may use your 2 signed race drivers, or one of your scouted drivers.

Illegal Parts

- You can run illegal parts in a certain race, by filling out the form on the first post.

- The more frequently you do this, the higher risk you run of getting caught.

- You begin with a 50% chance of getting caught, which has a 10% inflation rate per times used, until it reaches the maximum risk cap of 90%.

- The performance benefits, as well as the risks of getting caught, will be RNG'ed.

Going for Madgwick

Could I claim GA Motorsports for International and British F3000?

Sure! Do you two not want a Japanese F3000 team as well?

[AcesCalifornia]

I think for me, it's best I not over-stretch myself on the first time round in one of these events x3

[FantometteBR]

Might go with Pacifc

[John Rafael]

Should I go crazy and try DAMS?

Yep. If no one opposes, I'm going with DAMS.
