You already have a two-car entry - the only thing that needs to be resolved is Voeckler's number, which has previously been used by Scuderia Rifiutare. If JeremyMcClean agrees to change his number then it's all OK; now if not, then you have to figure out another number to use.

Other combinations of numbers we'd be interested in otherwise;

5/6, 8/9, 9/10, 33/34.

Any of these available?

Improve engine reliability X59 Please

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 14 Feb 2013, 22:42

5 and 9 are both taken

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 14 Feb 2013, 22:49

Alright, now with my extra money, I'll do the following:

Car improvements
1x Reduce weight = 5000
2x Improve front wing downforce = 4000
1x Improve rear wing downforce = 4000
2x Improve engine power = 4000
3x Improve engine reliability = 3000

Driver improvements
4x Race performance (van der Maeyede) = 4000
3x Race performance (Donnelly) = 3000
1x Overtaking (both drivers) = 2500

Which should come to 29500, leaving me with 450.

5, 8, 9, 10, 33 and 34 are all taken, unfortunately. I could suggest you 21/22, used by Osella, or 23/24, used by Minardi. Another option is to add a zero to the end of both numbers and use 270/280.

Using the Start 'n' Park Racing approach?

It could work, provided you manage to qualify for the races...

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 14 Feb 2013, 23:57

Cheers Nuppiz, here's the revised livery, hopefully it works!

Body
Wings

As for upgrades, I'll spend the following:

1 Starts Upgrade = 2000CHF
2 Engine Reliability Upgrades = 1000CHF
1 Drive Reliability Upgrade = 1000CHF
1 Engine Torque Upgrade = 1500CHF
2 Engine Power Upgrades = 2000CHF
1 Overtaking Upgrade = 1250CHF

All of which should come in at 8750CHF, leaving me with some small change! The team's name will be switched to Team DAYP Loans Racing for 1992 as well.

Autosport wrote:Dave Wilson Racing confirms sponsorship deal with DAYP Loans

The reigning champions Dave Wilson Racing have confirmed this evening that a title sponsorship deal has been agreed with Default At Your Peril (DAYP) Loans UK Ltd. DAYP Loans was originally founded by Wilson himself prior to his racing career which has proven highly successful, and has allowed him to buy back his former business which will now fund the team through a series of shady, complex off-shore funds and investment schemes. The team will thus be known as Team DAYP Loans Racing for the 1992 season.

DAYP Loans are an established East London-based personal finance company that offers eye-wateringly high interest rates on both short and long term loan packages for the naiive, short-sighted buggers who find themselves in the unfortunate situation of needing cash quick. The firm is noted for it's hard nosed attitude towards those defaulting on their loans, with a vigorous policy of recovering unpaid amounts through the seizing of personal assets. Kids, don't say you've not been warned.

I'll get a livery sorted over the next couple of days...possibly based on this:

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 15 Feb 2013, 04:42

CRASH will buy:

3000 on reliablity
3000 on torque
3000 on engine
3000 on Frank's quali-skill
3000 on Eddie's quali skill

This should leave us with 10,350. Also, are Psycho Soldiers' upgrades inhertied to CRASH?

HawkAussie · Post by **HawkAussie** » 15 Feb 2013, 04:46

That leaves you at 8,350. And yes, all of Psycho Soldiers' car upgrades are carried over to C.R.A.S.H., and you are also quaranteed to qualify for the first race as both Psycho Soldiers cars were in the top 18 of last season. I take it you mean power by "engine"?

Great, that's sorted out then.

Matt121 wrote:How many are you limiting to?

If you mean the amount of entries, there's no limit, but only 28 cars will start the race in 1992.

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 15 Feb 2013, 10:31

When I mean engine, I mean power, yes.

And you probably meant 2000 CHF, because that's the prize of a single unit for two-car teams?

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 15 Feb 2013, 10:53

Nupe, I'll send over the 1992 liveries with the correct numbers some time within the next 48 hours. Hopefully you're not expecting to start the season that soon...

Nuppiz, if its alright, Restov will use the same livery that we used in Brazil last year

Some Racing team will withdraw from the LGPS indefinitely.

DalekSam · Post by **DalekSam** » 15 Feb 2013, 12:39

After loading up Google Docs and doing some spreadsheet trickery, I have decided my upgrades!

6x Engine reliability
1x Reduce weight
1x Reduce overall drag
1x Reduce front wing drag
1x Reduce rear wing drag
2x Starts (Winton)
4x Reliability (Winton)

Should leave us with 12,650 CHF, right?

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 15 Feb 2013, 12:42

I'm confirming both of my drivers to stay. I'll sort out my spending later.

The deadline for entry confirmation is 24th February, at which time I'll also confirm the calendar. The season will start soon after that, so there's still plenty of time left in the offseason.

takagi_for_the_win wrote:Nuppiz, if its alright, Restov will use the same livery that we used in Brazil last year

Unless they specifically ask for new liveries, every team uses the 1991 ones because I'm simply too lazy to redo all of them. :lol:

OK then.

Well, I calculated the total cost to be 19,000 CHF, which leaves you at 10,650 CHF.

OK, welcome to the series!

Actually, unless some of the teams withdraw, that was the last entry I'll accept for now, as 42 cars will now compete for 28 places on the starting grid.

Would it be an option, on tracks which support more cars, to extend the grid?

With more full time entrants than last year, maybe a grid limit of between 30 to 33 cars would better?

The car number is off the center of the nose
The Weetabix logos don't quite fit on the rear wing
There were still some red parts on the car's body; just paint all of them yellow (I already did that for these screenshots).
The body and wings were saved in 256 colour-PNG, and didn't display in the game at all until I converted them to 24-bit BMPs.
