New A1GP 2020 - Cancelled, not enough participants

Post by Bleu »

There was one game earlier which was based on real-life calendar. This is planned to be a repeat of it, in A1GP format, so

Participating countries
Based on overall performance through 2019 (2018-19 in case of championship split over two years, following 15 countries achieved automatic qualification:
United Kingdom (dr-baker)
France (Aislabie)
United States
Brazil
New Zealand
Netherlands (This)
Japan ( Shawn040217)
Switzerland (CarloSpace)
Germany ( Kinnikuniverse)
Italy
Spain (Bandon23)
Australia (FortiWinks)
Russia
Denmark (RedEyes504)
Finland

Each member has to select two countries, of which one must be from aforementioned list and one being any other country.


Other countries selected:
Colombia (Shawn040217)
Canada (Kinnikuniverse)
Argentina (FortiWinks)
Belgium (CarloSpace)
Sweden (This)
Portugal (Bandon23)
Poland (dr-baker)
Angola (Aislabie)
Norway (RedEyes504)

Chassis
There is no budget in the game.

Chassis wear is 1% each race weekend, and at some point, this will have a effect on performance. Apart from that, chassis may suffer damage in accidents. Half of the damage is repairable between two races but maximum 10% for each race.

Example of car repair if the driver has accident getting 46% damage in the first race.
01 53/99
02 62/98
03 71/97
04 80/96
05 87/95
06 90/94
07 91/93
08 91/92
09 90.5/91
10 89.8/90
11 88.9/89
12 88/88

A chassis may be replaced between races. In this case, the car will start from the back of the grid in the next race. In case of multiple cars at the back, the starting order is based on their championship position.

Drivers
All points achieved by country are added together and this is the only overall championship.

Driver is eligible if (s)he represents the country. The driver's actual racing schedule takes preference in the championship and therefore drivers may change throughout the season. An exception is when the event is held at the same circuit as driver actually races. In this case a higher random performance number is used (either driver gets improvement for track knowledge or suffers due to fatigue)

The drivers are also ineligible due to real-life injuries. In case of status being unknown, the driver is deemed ineligible until his/her return in real life.

The qualifying is held on one-lap shootout. The race is held over the number of laps getting the race distance past 200 kilometres.

The drivers have to make one pit stop during the race. Drivers must use "soft" and "hard" tyres through the race unless there's wet race. The weather is based on the actual forecast. The tactic will be given by member via PM or in case of tactic not being given, by a randomizer.

The calendar will feature 18 races:
23.2. Adelaide
15.3. Sepang
5.4. Suzuka
3.5. Seoul
24.5. Nürburgring Nordschleife
31.5. Imola
14.6. Sonoma
28.6. Mexico City
12.7. Toronto
26.7. Spa
9.8. Zandvoort
23.8. Brands Hatch
13.9. Red Bull Ring
27.9. Sochi
11.10. Barcelona
25.10. Sakhir
15.11. Interlagos
22.11. Macau

Drivers' track knowledge also affects their performance. So a driver with Indycar experience has advantage at Toronto compared to F1 driver and so on.

Points are given to best ten drivers on scale 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. Additional two points given for pole position and fastest lap. FL counts only for the driver who has finished the race in the top 10.

I would like to select Team Japan, with the following driver(s):

Kamui Kobayashi: Rounds 2-3,5-18 (unlisted rounds clash with WEC)
For clashing rounds:
Naoki Yamamoto: Rounds 1,4 (first round is coincidentally the SF season opener at Suzuka so that's good/bad)

Apart from that, I would also like to lead Team Colombia to glory with Juan Pablo Montoya on board, with Carlos Munoz substituting for Juan in case of clashing rounds.

I'll go for Netherlands and Sweden.


Netherlands
Nyck De Vries 1-2,5-8,10-11,13-19 (since i can't find the 2020-2021 FE calendar yet, De Vries schedule might still change)
Giedo Van Der Garde 3-4,9,12
In case De Vries is injured -> Robin Frijs will take his place. In case of VDG, Richard Verschoor, will take his place.
Sweden
Felix Rosenqvist 1-2, 4, 7, 9-11; 13-19
Joel Eriksson 3,5-6,8,12 (calendar not confirmed beyond februari, might change), )
In case Rosenqvist is injuried, Marcus Ericsson will take over. In case of Joel Eriksson injury, possible reserves are Lucas Petterson, Daniel Vebter and Simon Ohlin.
I don't know what i want and i want it now!

I would like to take the following two countries:

United Kingdom
Jamie Chadwick when available
Pippa Mann when Jamie is not available

Liechtenstein
Fabienne Wohlwend when available
Can I borrow Swiss driver Rahel Frey when Wohlwend is not available? (Precedent: Graham Rahal racing for A1GP Team Lebanon at the end of the 2005/6 season, and at the Czech round of the following season, despite officially being American).

I can't find any link to Liechtenstein for Frey while Graham Rahal has some Lebanese heritage, so no.

Will come up with plan B for my second team when it's not the middle of the night and when I am not at work.

I'll stick with the UK as my first entry (no shortage of drivers to choose as reserves), with Poland as my second country, being represented by Gosia Rdest and Robert Kubica.

I'll start the series only if there will be ten members entering the series by February 16th, week before the scheduled first race. If there are at least ten but less than fifteen, there will be countries participating with my selections as the drivers.

France
Charles Pic - 1-3, 7-9, 13-15
Arthur Pic - 4-6, 10-12, 16-18

In the case of one Pic brother being injured or unavailable, please replace him with the other one. In the case of both being unavailable, does anyone know what Olivier Pla is up to these days?

-

Angola
Luis Sa Silva - 1-2, 7, 13, 15
Ricardo Texeira - 3-6. 14, 17
Florio de Souza - 8
Rui Andrade - 9-12, 16, 18

In the case of one of these drivers being unavailable, just sub in whoever drove the previous round. They're all dreadful anyhow.

Sadly this didn't happen so there won't be the start.
