Hello there reader! I made a post not long ago about an F1 manager and it was completely irrelvent to GP4 in anyway and was also quite disrespectful towards another user who had created an F1 Manager before me.
This is a revised version fit to work with GP4.
This will be updated every 2-3 Days.
This event will start when everything is in place.

Manager`s so far!

Updates
01/04/16
Added New Drivers
History mode has been updated.

Roles
There are many roles such as:
Manager
Assistant Manger
Car Designer (WIP)
Test Driver (WIP)

The Teams!
These teams are from the 2006 season. When a new season starts, the cars will have changed to a 2007 based design. Teams like MF1 may not go bankrupt and instead may remain when I figure out a way to design a custom game. But for now we are sticking to the normal 2006 season. As the seasons go by, new drivers will be introduced and teams may be renamed or taken over. Renamed teams have to be based around a REAL F1 team that may no longer exsist or may exsist in the future E.G Audi Racing or Minardi.
The results will be calculated IN GP4 Itself. I will load up the race and actually race the vehicles. I may simulate the race every once or twice.

Here are the teams:
1: Ferrari
2: McLaren
3: Honda
4: BMW Sauber
5: Renault
6: Toyota
7: Williams
8: Red Bull
9: MF1
10: Toro Rosso
11: Super Aguri

Drivers, Parts and Budgets
Teams are on a budget, so this restricts many key features of the game e.g engine cost and driver cost.
I will list the budgets below:

Ferrari: 55M
McLaren: 52M
Honda: 50M
BMW Sauber: 48M
Renault: 45M
Toyota: 42M
Williams: 38M
Red Bull: 35M
MF1: 32M
Toro Rosso: 30M
Super Aguri: 28M

Any driver can be sold, moved to test driver or replaced for a small amount of races.
Drivers are picked from seasons 2006-2007
Although you may pick the cheapest drivers and most expensive parts, the drivers have less experience in a powerful vehicle and may undepreform for half of the season.

Driver`s:

Ideal main drivers:
Raikkonen: 15M
Montoya: 15M
Fisichella: 14M
Massa: 14M
De La Rosa: 11.5M
R.Schumacher: 14.5M
Truli: 13M
Webber: 10M
Wurz: 8.5M
Heidfeld: 9.5M
Button: 10M
Barrichello: 10M
Coulthard: 8M
Kubica: 9M
Monteiro: 7.5M
Albers: 7.5M
Liuzzi: 8M
Speed: 6M
Sutil: 9.5M
Sato: 8.5M
Hamilton: 10M
Glock: 8M

Ideal Test Drivers:
Ide: 2.5M
Yamamoto: 3M
Klien: 4M
Davidson: 4.5M
Grosjean: 5M
Villeneuve: 6M
Alguersuari: 5.5M
De Matta: 6M
Panis: 6.5M
Karthikeyan: 5.5
Montagny: 5.5M
Kovalainen: 7.5M
Frentzen: 7.5M
Doornbos: 3.5M
Verstappen: 7.5M

More Test Drivers will be added as the season progresses.

Engines:
Top= Best engine, costs a lot more.
Low= Not as good as the top, cheaper and less reliable

Ferrari Top: 15M
Ferrari Low: 6M
BMW: 13.5M
Mercedes: 10M
Cosworth: 7.5M
Toyota: 8.5M
Honda: 8M

Races and Points

The point system will adapt when we reach 2010 or if there are enough requests.
The Races are the same as the 2006 season. The venue may change.

Points:
1st: 10
2nd: 8
3rd: 6
4th: 5
5th: 4
6th: 3
7th: 2
8th: 1

Races:
1: Australia
2: Malaysia
3: Bahrain
4: Spain
5: Monaco
6: Canada
7: USA
8: France
9: Britain
10: Europe
11: Hungary
12: Turkey
13: Italy
14: Belgium
15: Japan
16: China
17: Brazil

History Mode (WIP)
This will start at the 1991 season. This is a WIP and won`t be ready for a few weeks yet. It will start mid-season and will feature a mix of new cars and drivers. It`s going to be a mix-up F1 event
This was suggested by Casssp.

Driver and Manger happiness (WIP)
Overview: The driver or manager may want to leave the team at the end of the season and find another job or role. This has not yet been added and will be eventually placed in the game

Bonus Money
Every point scoring race will have a small bonus to add to your bank account. If two drivers finish 6th and 8th, you`ll earn £350.
1st: £1,000
2nd: £900
3rd: £750
4th: £550
5th: £500
6th: £250
7th: £150
8th: £100

How are manager`s and driver`s selected?

Managers will be selected using a randomizer, those who are left out will have to apply to become an assistant manager at a team and trialed.
I have changed the driver selecting procedure! The highest bidder gets the driver.

Feedback

Please comment what I should improve on. It can be apart of your application or request.

So, are you going to open a new thread for every status update now? That doesn't make sense and clusters the forums unnecessarily! So please, stick with your original manager thread and go on there.

Must admit, I was thinking the same thing

I do apologise. I know some people who may want to join the game but can't see the thread. People are wanting to start the series ASAP and so am I. I will leave this page up for now so I can copy over some of the stuff onto my old thread.

Hello Guys! Please gather more people who are interested in participating! Cheers.

I'm going to merge these several threads. First time I've done it so bear with me...

Edit: Seemed to work OK. Can we please just keep the one thread open for this topic in future.

The topic was merged just fine. I will be updating the main thread though.

I think this was the third thread he opened and the second and the third were now merged.

Either way, decide for one now and go on with that.

Me too, hopefully we can keep it alive. I've offered to help in anyway possible

I'd fancy signing up. Knowing my luck I'll be heading the Super Aguri challenge to get a point by 2022

It does worry me that whoever gets Super Aguri is going to be completely screwed. The list of drivers isn't exactly huge

Not gonna lie, was about to sign up myself for this series when I spotted this in the rules:

Quote

I will load up the race and actually race the vehicles. I may simulate the race every once or twice.

Does this mean that you'll be driving every team's cars using the hot seat mode? Or am I just reading this wrong?

I presumed that meant that he was going to watch the race and maybe use the accelerate time option from time to time. If he's driving the cars I'd have to think again about entering

I will simulate the race and reveal the result.
