F1 Manager - 2006 Season - Season Finale! - Results PG38

F1 Manager

This series (originally established by Chris 2k6) gives 11 lucky players the chance to guide a Formula One team to success, whether it be Ferrari or Minardi. The game started in the 2003 season and has already developed greatly thanks to the choices each manager has made. Also real life events will come in to play, such as Red Bull wanting to take over Jaguar etc but, that doesn’t guarantee you success. Managers will also have to negotiate contracts with drivers and engine suppliers along with making many other decisions along the way.

Teams

At the start teams were randomly assigned between the applicants. Here is the current entry list:

2007 Team Budgets
These are your budgets that you have to spend on your team for the next season.



2006 Team Testing Budgets

Your teams testing budget is the remainder of your previous years budget after having bought all of you drivers, engine and brakes. This can be spent on mid season test sessions that occur during the season. Just as in pre-season testing you can choose to focus on improve pace of reliability. NOTE - From 2007, teams will pay for mid-season testing directly from their main budgets, with whatever is leftover in the testing budgets below being added to next seasons budgets.



Engine/Brake Manufacturers
Each team must sign an engine and brake supplier. Ferrari, Renault, Toyota, Honda and McLaren all have the option to stick with their traditional engine providers, however all other teams must bid for their desired engine. There are no limitations to the number of teams each brake manufacturer can supply.

Each engine and brake type has a reliabilty and a BHP setting which is chosen at random from within a specific range with the more expensive engines and brakes providing a much higher chance of providing more power and better reliabilty.



Drivers Market

Drivers will be ready at random times throughout the season for contract negotiations whereas everything else (engines, brakes, etc) can be signed at anytime. Drivers have a set minimum contract offer so anything offered below this figure will be rejected. The driver will accept the highest offer unless his current team are within £500k of the highest bid for the driver in which case the driver will stay with his current team.

Drivers can bring experience to your team, while youngsters are up and coming stars. Race them too early and they may struggle whilst choosing someone who is nearing retirement may result in the same effect.

Each team must have at least three drivers (2 race drivers, 1 test/third driver), but can also sign a second test driver if they so wish.

When making an offer, send a pm to the F1_Manager account with your offer and for which driver you wish to sign.

A driver will have a set time to receive offers, usually a week, 2 races etc, after which they will decide who they will race for next season. If they have no offer then they will remain available for contract talks.

Drivers available to sign at the end of Round 14

As far as I'm aware the plans to re-revive the series have also died, so at the present time the GP2 series isn't starting up again.

Midland is all good to go.

Yep Super Aguri all good

Quick update (and also a cheeky bump )

All the cars are now in the mod, all that remains is to add the helmets which I can do as soon as I receive them.

Once they're it'll be time to start thinking of running the Pre-Season Tests which begs the question, who is running the pre-season tests?
