I actually didn't mean this to be a series where the forum members control the teams, but if there is enough interest, then why not :lol:

Could someone move this to the 18-Metre debut forum, then?

Seeing as I was beaten to Team Green, Let's see if we can drag Payton/Coyne Racing into relevance.

We'll take Reynard chassis, Mercedes engines and Firestone tyres.

Normal32 · Post by **Normal32** » 26 Jun 2015, 19:59

Let's pick Della Penna.

You can't take Mercedes since there are none of them available anymore.

RedEyes504 · Post by **RedEyes504** » 27 Jun 2015, 14:29

Newman-Haas

Chassis: Raynard
Engine: Ford
Tires: Firestone

Eagle/Ford/Goodyear

Rabbi Gordon · Post by **Rabbi Gordon** » 27 Jun 2015, 17:41

Arciero will take Fords and Firestones.
We will apply for a Penske chassis, as we have a bit of history using the Captain's year old chassis and it was one of the more competitive periods in our little team's history.

May I take Tasman Motorsports
Lola-Ford-Goodyear

Pacific · Post by **Pacific** » 30 Jun 2015, 15:26

Alright, we haven't got new entries since Sunday, so I will close the entry. I will run Simon, Hall, Hogan, Galles, Foyt, Bettenhausen, Patrick, Comptech and Project Indy (although they can be taken mid-season).

The next thing is driver signing. PM me a list of 3 drivers for each car you have and how much you offer each driver. You can sign anybody you want, just be realistic, please!

Also, mike robers will need to choose if he'll accept Rabbi Gordon's offer.

mike robers · Post by **mike robers** » 03 Jul 2015, 00:03

Yes, I accept his offer.

Pacific · Post by **Pacific** » 11 Jul 2015, 14:59

SeedStriker, can I ask for the use of #1 for Jacques Villeneuve if possible as the reigning IndyCar champion?
If not possible, it is okay

P.S. Seeing Jimmy Vasser driving the Ganassi's #4 car is hilarious
