My idea would be to give everyone apart from BRM (they're a joke engine anyway), around 2-3 million for 1982, since everyone is out of money, and introduce an achievements system to earn further cash, so they get a list of goals, and an amount of money they get for achieving these goals. I'd like some feedback from the people running engine manufacturers before introducing it.

That sounds fair to me.

Yeah Nuppiz, time to get a decent manufacturer for your engines For example Honda.

I would be ok with this, as it gives us something to play for. It will also mix up the way engine players play a bit I think (all the engines last year were pretty much all the same design wise.). Another way could be to introduce a separate prize money pool for engines, but that's fairly unrealistic as you would have to have a WEC lol.

Pi31419, are you still there?

I'm sure he is, but we're all wondering why you are.

Be patient, some people around here have lives. And I'd be careful about bumping a thread in this manner in future; people don't like that and it could get you a ban given your previous behaviour in this thread.

Yes, I am still there. Just three days have passed since the deadline. I don't really have much spare time at the moment, so the series is currently running somewhat slower.

You have rushed into this series without reading the rules, or asking where you can find them. You have continued to ignore them and acted as if you had an entry when you didn't have one. And you have not only done it here, but in tommykl's Alt-1956 too.

I'll take you off the waiting list for now. You can reapply if you have proven in another series that you can manage a team. The teams currently open in this championship are established top/upper midfield teams, and I'd rather have someone manage them who has previously successfully managed a team.

As I mentioned in the chat, I would like to give up Williams to a user who will have more time than myself to make Williams successful.

For those wondering about a lack of progress, this series is currently on hold until the Wiki is back.
